The Federal High Court in Abuja has struck out eight of the 15 counts against the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
The charges which bordered on terrorism were filed against Kanu by the Federal Government.
Justice Binta Nyako struck out eight of the charges while delivering a ruling on the validity of the charges.
Justice Nyako averred that in the instant preliminary objection application, counts six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, and 14 have not disclosed any offence by the defendant.
She, however, acknowledged that counts one, two, three, four, five, 13, and 15 showed some allegations against the IPOB leader, saying the trial of the defendant would proceed on those counts.
