The one billion naira compensation suit filed by Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, against the Federal Government and Department of State Services, DSS is scheduled to hold Monday April 18, 2024.
The sitting will be held at a Federal High Cour in Abuja. Justice James Omotosho adjourned the matter after Kanu’s counsel, Alloy Ejimakor, indicated his interest to respond to a counter affidavit jointly filed by the DSS and its Director-General (DG).
Upon resumed hearing, Gbenga Oladimeji, who appeared for the Federal Government, informed the court that they were yet to file their response on behalf of 1st and 2nd defendants because he was only being notified about the process on Monday morning, though they had been served since March 6.
But the DSS lawyer, Abdul Danlami, said they had filed their counter affidavit in opposition to Kanu’s plea.
Ejimakor then sought an adjournment to enable him file a further affidavit in response to fresh issues raised by the DSS in their counter affidavit.
Justice Omotosho adjourned the matter until April 18 for adoption of processes.
