Nnamdi Kanu's Lawyers Summarize Today's Court Sitting – November 4, 2025
The Federal High Court in Abuja has threatened to foreclose the defence of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), should he fail to open his defence in his ongoing terrorism trial.
Presiding judge, Justice James Omotosho, issued the warning on Tuesday following Kanu’s continued refusal to enter his defence, marking the fourth consecutive hearing where the IPOB leader declined to proceed. This comes after the court had overruled Kanu’s no-case submission and directed him to either file his final written address or commence his defence.
