BREAKING: Court Adjourns Nnamdi Kanu’s Trial To February 16

The Federal High Court in Abuja has adjourned the trial of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, to February 16, 2022.

Justice Binta Nyako said this was to enable the court to consider the application filed by the defence counsel to quash the charges filed by the Nigerian government against Kanu.

The court added that the prosecution counsel must serve the defence counsel five days before the hearing.

Clock Reporters earlier reported that Kanu pleaded not guilty to the 15-count amended charge bordering on treasonable felony and terrorism, brought against him by the Nigerian government.
