In Abuja, a Federal High Court acquitted 50 individuals suspected of being members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a group proscribed in Nigeria.
The ruling, delivered on Friday, criticized the police for failing to present substantial evidence against the accused, who were charged with terrorism-related offenses. The decision marks a significant legal victory for the acquitted individuals and highlights the judicial scrutiny of law enforcement procedures in handling separatist cases.
