Court to commence Nnamdi Kanu’s ‘treason’ trial in absentia
The trial of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, will begin on Thursday November 26 as scheduled by the Federal High Court in Abuja with five prosecution witnesses lined up to testify against him.
Ahead of the court sitting, copies of the hearing notice were served on the prosecution team in the office of the Attorney-General of the Federation and Kanu’s lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor.
Since March 28, 2019, Justice Binta Nyako had revoked the bail granted the IPOB leader, ordered his arrest, and directed that his trial on charges of a treasonable felony would proceed in his absence; but the court had not had any sitting on the case since then.
