The Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday, struck out a N50 billion suit filed by Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, against the Federal Government.
Justice Inyang Ekwo, in a ruling, struck out the suit for lack of diligent prosecution.
When the matter was called on Thursday, neither Kanu nor the Federal Government was represented by any lawyer.
Justice Ekwo observed that on the last adjourned day, while no lawyer was in court for the IPOB leader, the Federal Government was represented in court by a counsel.
