Truth is so powerful that the people in power guard it with body guards of lies so that justice will not come.

BREAKING: Ex-AGF Kanu Agabi, Uchenna Njoku Join Nnamdi Kanu’s Legal Team
March 20, 2025
Agabi, a former Senator and two-time Attorney-General of the Federation, is expected to lead Kanu’s legal team, currently headed by IPOB’s Special Counsel, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, according to a source familiar with the case.
Former Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) Kanu Agabi (SAN) and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) Uchenna Njoku have joined the legal team defending the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, SaharaReporters has exclusively learned .
Agabi, a former Senator and two-time Attorney-General of the Federation, is expected to lead Kanu’s legal team, currently headed by IPOB’s Special Counsel, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, according to a source familiar with the case.
The source confirmed that Kanu has retained his existing legal team, which includes Maxwell Opara and Nnaemeka Ejiofor, ensuring a comprehensive defense strategy as his trial resumes.
Kanu, who was controversially renditioned from Kenya in June 2021, remains in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).
His next court appearance is scheduled for Friday, March 21, before Justice James Omotosho of Federal High Court 7 in Abuja.
The latest legal manoeuvres follow a judicial reshuffle in Kanu’s case.
SaharaReporters had reported that Kanu’s trial would start afresh after the recusal of Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako, the former presiding judge.
Initially presided over by Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako, the case was reassigned to Justice Omotosho after Kanu and Ejimakor publicly called for a change in judicial oversight.
The request was made after an unsuccessful attempt to return the case to Justice Nyako.
Legal analysts believe that Agabi and Njoku’s joining of Kanu’s defence team signals a renewed push for a robust legal strategy in challenging the charges against him.
The upcoming hearing is expected to set the tone for the fresh trial proceedings as Kanu continues to fight for his release amid mounting legal and political tensions.
