IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu Arrives Court As Session Begins

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has arrived at the Federal High Court in Abuja for the continuation of his ongoing trial.

"The matter of FRN versus Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has convened, #MNK has arrived, the Judge is in seating. Onyendu’s braves-in-council are assembled," Aloy Ejimakor, special counsel to Kanu, posted on X.

SaharaReporters understand that there is heavy security in the court premises.

Earlier, SaharaReporters reported that the Federal High Court in Abuja had given the detained IPOB leader until November 7 to open his defence in the ongoing terrorism trial.

The court again warned that failure to do so would lead to the closure of his case.

Justice James Omotosho, presiding over the matter, described the adjournment as Kanu’s last opportunity to defend himself.

"We had adjourned till today for the defendant to put in his defence or be deemed closed. But, I am bound to give him another opportunity to put in his defence,” the judge said.

“If he does not, I will deem him closed. I know that he is an economist and not a lawyer. I will give the last opportunity to the defendant to put in his defence, failure which he would be deemed closed,” Justice Omotosho added before adjourning till November 7.

Earlier, prosecuting counsel Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN) had urged the court to foreclose Kanu’s defence, noting that he had already used up five of the six days allotted for his defence without presenting any witnesses or evidence.

Awomolo reminded the court that “the court, on Tuesday, adjourned till Wednesday for Kanu to enter a defence in his trial or be deemed to have waived his right to do so.” He added that the defendant again refused to open his defence when proceedings resumed.

According to the prosecution, Kanu maintained that there was no valid charge against him and therefore declined to proceed. Awomolo then prayed the court to foreclose the defendant and adjourn the matter for judgment.

From the dock, Kanu reiterated his position, insisting there was “no valid charge” against him to warrant entering any defence.

Meanwhile, Justice Omotosho cautioned Kanu’s former lawyers — P. A. N. Ejiofor, Aloy Ejimakor, Dr. Maxwell Opara, and Prince Mandela Umegburu — who now act as his consultants, to conduct themselves within professional ethics.

This followed complaints by Awomolo, who accused the lawyers of granting media interviews and making social media posts about the ongoing trial.

The court then adjourned proceedings till November 7, when Kanu is expected to finally open his defence or have the case declared closed.
