Nnamdi Kanu’s Trial: Court Adjourns Indefinitely

Nnamdi Kanu

The trial of the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu in the terrorism charges brought against him by the federal government has been adjourned indefinitely by the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja.

Justice Binta Nyako put off the trial sine die at the instance of Kanu pending the resolution of the federal government’s appeal against the October 13 judgment of the Court of Appeal that discharged him from the terrorism charges.

The federal government’s appeal seeking reversal of the Court of Appeal judgment is pending before the Supreme Court.

Meanwhile, Kanu refused to appear before the Federal High Court on Monday.

The refusal to honour the high court was conveyed to Justice Nyako by the federal government’s counsel, Mohammed Abubakar.

He informed the court that all entreaties made to persuade Kanu to have a change of heart were rebuffed.
