Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja, FCT ordered the remand of Nnamdi Kanu in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) on Tuesday in Abuja.

Malami said that Kanu was arrested and brought back to Nigeria on Sunday.

Malami added that the arrest followed a collaborative effort between security agencies in Nigeria and Interpol.

However, the briefing was silent on where he was arrested.

Ruling on the request for remand in the custody of the DSS, Justice Nyako, held that the Prosecution should inform Kanu’s lawyer of his rearrest and remand in the custody of the DSS.

The judge subsequently adjourned till July 26 for the continuation of the trial.

Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, said that the National Assembly had no powers to summon Buhari.

Malami had said this in a statement titled, ‘Buhari’s summons: NASS Operates outside constitutional bounds’, on Wednesday.

Members of the House of Representatives had earlier on December 1st passed a resolution to invite President Buhari to brief the house on the true state of the security situation in the country.

This decision was taken when the House considered a motion moved by members from Borno State on the massacre of 43 rice farmers in the state by Boko Haram insurgents.

In response to this, the President’s Personal Assistant on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie announced on Monday, December 7 that the President will address a joint session of the National Assembly.

At the commencement of plenary on Thursday, there was no sight of President Buhari.

A lawmaker from Rivers State, Solomon bob then raised a point of order over the President’s refusal to honour the invitation of the house. He asked the Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila to update the House on the subject matter.

The Speaker responded by saying the House will wait for official communication from the President.
