Nnamdi Kanu Finally Submits Defence As Court Moves Registry To Courtroom

Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), followed the Federal High Court of Abuja’s order on Friday to submit his defense in the terrorist charges the Federal Government had brought against him.

After Kanu claimed that he was not being given the chance to properly file his documents, Justice James Omotosho ordered the temporary relocation of the court’s registry inside his courtroom.

Kanu started filing his defense procedures in the courtroom after receiving the order.

Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN), the prosecuting attorney, informed the court that he was prepared to accept the documents in person in the courtroom and reply as needed.

The court put the case on hold for an hour because the defense documents were still being submitted at the time this report was filed.

The IPOB leader insisted that the Federal Government provide him the precise terrorist statute he allegedly violated before he could begin his defense till Friday.

It was previously stated that Kanu’s family claimed that Department of State Services (DSS) employees were purposefully impeding his attempts to be ready for his Friday terrorism trial.

The family cautioned in a statement signed by Prince Emmanuel Kanu on Thursday that the IPOB leader might not be able to attend in court because of what they called a systematic denial of his constitutional rights.

The DSS was accused by the family of preventing Kanu from seeing his attorneys, relatives, and important witnesses who were essential to his defense.

“The DSS has made it almost impossible for Mazi Kanu to have proper access to his lawyers, family members, and key witnesses,” they claim.
