Mr Kanu, through his lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, had sued Mr Malami and the Director-General, National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ahmed Abubakar, as 1st and 2nd defendants respectively.
Justice Inyang Ekwo, however, struck out the suit after I.C. Nworgu, who appeared for the IPOB leader, told the court that the plaintiff had resolved to withdraw the suit.
Mr Nworgu said the notice of discontinuance had already been filed.
The application, marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/1702/2022, was filed pursuant to Order 50, Rules 2(1) of the FHC Civil Procedure Rules, 2019.
Mr Ekwo had, on October 27, fixed Friday for hearing in the suit.
