BREAKING: Kanu obeys Court order, files defence in terrorism case

Published

on

Biafra agitator, Nnamdi Kanu, has complied with the directive of the Federal High Court in Abuja to formally present his defence in the terrorism case filed against him by the Federal Government.

Kanu is currently completing and submitting his defence documents inside the courtroom, following an order by Justice James Omotosho.

After Kanu raised several concerns about difficulties in filing, Justice Omotosho instructed that the court registry be temporarily moved to his courtroom to enable the process to proceed smoothly.

Meanwhile, counsel representing the Federal Government, Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN, told the court that he would receive Kanu’s filings in the courtroom and file a response accordingly.

At the time of this report, the filing of the defence documents was ongoing, with the judge standing down proceedings for one hour.

Until now, Kanu had repeatedly refused to open his defence, insisting that he must first be shown the specific terrorism law he is alleged to have violated.
