- Justice Nyako further called the DSS to produce the IPOB leader in court for trial.
The trial of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has been adjourned by the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja.
EKO HOT BLOG reports that the trial of Nnamdi Kanu was adjourned as the IPOB leader was not present in the court.
It was gathered that 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.
However, Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, informed the court that there was a pending application before the court to transfer Nnamdi Kanu from the custody of the DSS to the correctional centre.
Ruling, Justice Binta Nyako stated that the trial cannot continue in the absence of Nnamdi Kanu since he is not available to stand his trial.
