An Abuja Division of the Federal High Court has again adjourned hearing in the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, following a request by the prosecution.

Mr. Kanu and three others, David Nwawuisi, Benjamin Madubugwu, and Chidebere Onwudiewe, are facing trial before Justice Binta Nyako for alleged treasonable offences.

Mr. Kanu, the first defendant in the matter, was granted bail on health grounds in April, but disappeared five months later with no trace yet of his current location.

His lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, accused the Nigerian Army of arresting Mr. Kanu during an invasion of his residence in Abia State, but military spokesperson, John Enenche, denied the accusation.

The court had in a previous hearing in October given Mr. Kanu’s sureties some conditions over his disappearance.
Reacting to an application by one of the sureties, Eyinnaya Abaribe, through his lawyer, Ogechi Ogbonna, that he should be relieved of his role as Mr. Kanu’s surety and that the court withdraws its order for a bond of N100 million, Mrs. Nyako said only the appearance of the defendant would prevent a possible forfeiture of the bond.

The sureties were expected to appear in November, but that hearing was stalled due to the engagement of Mrs. Nyako at a conference of judges in Abuja, hence the matter was postponed till Tuesday.

But according to Mr. Kanu’s lawyer, Mr. Ejiofor, when his team of lawyers arrived the court on Tuesday, they found that the lead prosecution counsel, Shaibu Labaran, had written the court seeking an adjournment on the grounds that he had a seminar to attend and would not be able to appear in court on Tuesday.

“The principal state counsel on the matter, Mr. Labaran, wrote the court seeking an adjournment. He said he had a seminar to attend. Subsequently the matter was adjourned till February 20, 2018,” Mr. Ejiofor told PREMIUM TIMES.

Mr. Labaran could not be reached immediately for comments on his mobile phone.

If Kanu is still alive and in hiding, he dare not show his face in Nigeria while Buhari is in power lest the python finish off what it started

Nigeria win their case against Kanu only on the pages of newspapers........... They should come to court and defend their guilty self..................

Biafra is a thing of the mind and it's only death that can erase it from the hard cores in this struggle......


We are not retreating and we have no intention to surrender - Uche Mefor

The people still listen and awaits IPOB commands.

One adjournment after the other for over two years now. Why cant the FG just open its case?

You charge people to court for treason but cannot open your case.

I think that the FG already knows it has no case against Kanu and is just prolonging this case for nothing.
