Kanu was arrested on October 14 in Lagos and arraigned before an Abuja Magistrate’s Court on October 19. The court struck out the charges brought against him by the Department of State Service (DSS) because the prosecution applied to withdraw the charges.
Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court, on November 10, ordered that Kanu be detained for 90 days but dismissed this ruling on December 17 and ordered the DSS to release Kanu after holding him for about two months. He also vacated his earlier order permitting the DSS to detain Kanu for 90 days.
However, Kanu’s arraignment, which was scheduled for yesterday, did not hold because the hearing notices were not served on parties involved.
