The Federal High Court in Abuja has issued a stern warning against delays in the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Justice James Omotosho set six new dates for the Federal Government to conclude its terrorism and treasonable felony case against Kanu, noting the trial has dragged for nearly a decade.
According to reports, the court granted the prosecution until May 28, 29, and June 6, 16, 18, and 19 to present its final arguments. A DSS operative testified that IPOB’s armed wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), is illegal, unlike the state-backed Amotekun in Southwest Nigeria.
