Yesterday, Nnamdi Kanu, the detained IPOB chief, was charged with new terrorist offenses by the federal government. The Federal Government increased the counts in the original charge sought against Kanu in the amended process it submitted to the Federal High Court in Abuja. The Guardian recalled that Kanu, who had been charged with a seven-count treasonable felony, now confronts a new, 15-count amended charge in a lawsuit with the filing number FHC/ABJ/CR/383/2015 and the signature of DPP M. B. Abubakar. On December 2, 2021, the court set today for the hearing of a few outstanding applications, including Kanu's suit asking to be released and found not guilty.
