Gists By Kanu absent from court
IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu
The trial of the leader of the proscribed
Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi
Kanu, resumed at the Federal High
Court Abuja on Monday without Kanu’s
presence in court.
When the matter was called up, the
prosecution counsel, M. B. Abubakar,
informed the court that the matter was
slated for hearing and that they were
ready to continue.
Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor,
informed the court that there was a
pending application before the court to
transfer Kanu from the custody of the
DSS to the correctional centre.
Justice Binta Nyako stated that the trial
cannot continue in the absence of Kanu
since he is not available to stand his
trial.
Justice Nyako also called the DSS to
produce the IPOB leader in court for
trial.
The court adjourned to October 21,
2021, for continuation of hearing.
