The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division Thursday evening declared as illegal and unlawful, the abduction of the Biafra nation agitator, Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria and quashed the terrorism charges brought against him by the Federal Government.

The Court held that the Federal Government breached all local and international laws in the forceful rendition of Kanu to Nigeria thereby making the terrorism charges against him incompetent and unlawful.
In a judgment by Justice Oludotun Adebola, the charges by the Federal Government against Kanu were voided and set aside.

The Appellate Court proceeded to discharge Kanu from the alleged offences. Justice Adebola held that the failure of Nigeria to follow due process by way of extradition was fatal to the charges against Kanu.

A nursery has been evacuated and emergency services are responding following a carbon monoxide leak. A total of 26 people including children and teaching assistants have been transferred to four nearby hospitals due to the leak at a daycare centre in Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA.

Several children were taken away on stretchers. All are reported to be in stable condition. Authorities declared a level 1 mass casualty, meaning there are warnings medical responders could become overwhelmed by the number of casualties.

A call for medical help was first received about an unconscious child in the incident at Happy Smiles Learning Center on Wabash Street early on Tuesday morning, October 11.
Captain John Christopher of the Allentown Fire Department said their equipment alerted them to the presence of carbon dioxide when they attended the centre.

Fire departments and other responders have been forced to attend the incident, while a nearby daycare has offered shelter. Gas company UGI is on the scene and is assessing the situation. Parents have been notified about the incident.
