The Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu has reached the Federal High Court in Abuja for a continuation of his case. Kanu was carried to the Court in a black Sports Utility vehicle at about 8 am.
Journalists staff of the Court were hindered from entering the Court premises. Scores of police officers, DSS agents, and Soldiers have surrounded the entire area.
Kanu is being tried before Justice Binta Nyako over charges of treasonable felony and terrorism. The separatist, who was granted bail in April 2017, fled the country after the invasion of his home in Afara-Ukwu, near Umuahia, Abia State, by the military in September, a situation one of Kanu’s lawyers, Alloy Ejimakor described as the “rule of self-preservation.”
On June 29, 2021, the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, announced that Mr. Kanu had been rearrested and extradited to Nigeria to continue facing his trial.
