Meanwhile, Nnamdi Kanu, at the hearing in court today, complained that he was going blind and pleaded with the Judge to rescue him.
Kanu disclosed that the Department of State Services, DSS, took away his glasses since his arrest.
He also asked the court to dismiss the charges against him on the grounds that the alleged offences were not committed in Nigeria.
The Biafra leader claimed that no prima facie has been made against him by the federal government throughout the proof of evidence in support of the charges.
Kanu’s laywer, Ozekhome who filed an application to quash the charges against the separatist leader with 34 grounds, and supported by 36-paragraph affidavit, also sought an order acquitting and discharging Kanu for want of jurisdiction and defective, baseless and incompetent charges.
The matter was subsequently adjourned to April 8 to rule on Kanu’s applications to quash the charge.
