KANU ABSENT AS COURT ADJOURNS TRIAL INDEFINITELY

The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu refused to present himself before the Federal High Court in Abuja for his planned re-arraignment, the Federal Government alleged on Monday.

Kanu, who is in the custody of the Department of State Service (DSS), is facing an amended 7-count terrorism charge.

A team of government prosecutors led by the Director of Public Prosecution, Mr. M.B. Abubakar, told trial Justice Binta Nyako that the IPOB leader declined to be brought before the court for trial.

Justice Nyako had after the case was calls up, enquired about the defendant.

But Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, who is leading Kanu’s defence team, told the court that FG’s allegation was strange to him.
