Nnamdi Kanu, a leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), who was charged with criminal conspiracy and ownership of an unlawful society, a charge brought against him by the federal government.
The government agency prosecuting Kanu, the DSS, has elected to withdraw the case at the lower court, opting for a court having jurisdiction to to try cases of terrorism.
Usman was scheduled to deliver judgment on the application of the DSS on December 1, but he put it off until December 16.
The DSS has held Kanu for at least 90 days despite an order of the
magistrate court granting him bail in October.
After the lower court granted him bail, the DSS got an order of the
Federal High Court, Abuja, to keep the leader of IPOB in detention.
However, his lawyer, Vincent Obetta, filed a counter application,
seeking bail for the accused person.
Meanwhile, Justice of the Federal High Court, Abuja, Adeniyi Ademola, is expected to rule on the bail application on Thursday.
