The Leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB Mr Nnamdi Kanu, has been arraigned at the Federal High Court in Abuja.

The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mallam Abubakar Malami, SAN, had earlier announced the arrest of the IPOB leader yesterday.

The Attorney-General of the Federation accused Mr Kanu of instigating violence in the South-East geopolitical zone using various social media platforms.

Ekwi Ajide of our Abuja bureau quotes Mallam Malami as saying that Mr Nnamdi Kanu was intercepted on Sunday, twenty seventh June, 2021.

He said such was possible through the collaborative efforts of the Nigeria Intelligence and Security Service and brought back to Nigeria to continue to face trial after jumping bail.

The case has been scheduled between July twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh for resumption of trial while Mr Kanu has been remanded with the Department of State Service.
