Nigerian court releases detained Biafra campaigner



A Nigerian court has ordered the release of a pro-Biafran activist whose arrest prompted a series of protests in Africa's most populous country.
Nnamdi Kanu had been in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) since his arrest in October for operating pirate Radio Biafra and belonging to an unlawful organisation.
The order by the Abuja high court on Thursday to free Kanu came a day after the prosecution withdrew criminal charges against him in a magistrate court.
