Court dismisses Nnamdi Kanu’s fundamental rights suit against DSS
A Federal High Court, Abuja, on Friday, dismissed the fundamental rights enforcement suit filed by the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) against the Department of States Services (DSS).
Justice Taiwo Taiwo, in a judgment, dismissed the suit for lacking in merit and substance.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Kanu, through his lawyer, Maxwell Opara, had, in a fundamental rights enforcement suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/1585/2021, sued the Director-General (DG) of DSS and the office as 1st and 2nd respondents respectively.
He also joined the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) as 3rd respondent in the suit dated and filed on Dec. 13, 2021.
Kanu had alleged that his health was deteriorating in the DSS custody, while also alleging that the medical personnel assigned to attend to him by the DSS were unqualified, among others.
But the DSS, through its counsel, Idowu Awo, disagreed with Opara.
He argued that Kanu’s lawyer had not shown how the doctors attending to his client were doing “quack” work.
