The Federal Government has withdrawn the newly amended charge against the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, NNAMDI KANU.

Earlier, KANU had been denied a bail application by Justice BINTA NYAKO of the Federal High Court in Abuja on the grounds that his absence in the past, since 2017, should be determined, before a bail application, would be entertained.

Upon withdrawal of the newly amended charges by the FG, the Federal High Court struck out the charges preferred against KANU.
