BREAKING: Court To Give Judgement On Terrorism Charges Against Kanu November 20

Published

on

Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed November 20 for judgment in the terrorism trial of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The decision was made on Friday following Kanu’s failure to open his defence after exhausting the six days earlier granted by the court to present his case.
Justice Omotosho, while delivering the ruling, held that the defendant had ample opportunity to conduct his defence but failed to take advantage of it. He stated that since Kanu did not utilise the period allocated to him, he could not claim to have been denied his constitutionally guaranteed right to a fair hearing.
The court’s judgment on the terrorism charges filed against Kanu by the federal government is therefore expected to be delivered on November 20.
