The Service filed an application before a Magistrate Court sitting in Abuja, to withdraw the criminal conspiracy and criminal intimidation case brought against Kanu.
The prosecutor told the court, at a resumed hearing on Monday, Nov. 23, that fresh facts have emerged against the Biafra agitator, which requires further investigation.
Kanu's lawyer countered the application, stating that the DSS had flouted the court order which granted the accused person bail since October 19, 2015.
