Why I won’t defend FG’s charge against me – Nnamdi Kanu

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has announced that he will no longer defend the seven-count terrorism-related charge brought against him by the Federal Government, describing the case as “invalid and unlawful.” At the resumed hearing before the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday, Kanu, who previously chose to represent himself after disengaging his legal team, told the court that he found no valid charge in the case file that warranted a defence. Kanu said, “Having reviewed the entire case, I discovered there is no valid charge to defend. Since I am being subjected to an unlawful trial, I see no reason to defend myself or call witnesses.” Following this declaration, the IPOB leader withdrew his earlier request for the court to summon several high-profile individuals as witnesses, including Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo […]

Court Grants Sowore, Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyer Bail in Protest Case

A Magistrate Court in Kuje, Abuja, has granted bail to activist Omoyele Sowore, Nnamdi Kanu's lawyer Aloy Ejimakor, and 11 others who were arrested during a protest demanding Kanu's release. The 13 defendants were arraigned on charges including unlawful assembly, inciting disturbance, and disturbance of public peace. They all pleaded not guilty to the charges. The court granted each defendant bail in the sum of ₦500,000 with two sureties in like sum. The sureties are required to provide tax clearance and a valid means of identification. The case has been adjourned until December 15, 2025, for a hearing. The bail was granted after the court found the prosecution's counter-affidavit against the bail application to be invalid, as it was filed under the wrong case number.

Heavy Security in Abuja as #FreeNnamdiKanu Protest Looms

A massive security lockdown was imposed in Abuja on Monday due to a planned protest demanding the release of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu. Security forces, including soldiers, police, and DSS operatives, sealed off major routes leading to the Presidential Villa and the city center. This caused significant traffic disruptions for commuters entering the Federal Capital Territory. Key areas like the Three Arms Zone, Eagle Square, and the National Assembly were under heavy guard. The measures were so strict that even staff with official clearance to the Presidential Villa were denied entry and forced to use alternative routes. The protest was organized by activist Omoyele Sowore. Nnamdi Kanu has been in detention since 2021, despite court orders for his release, with his supporters citing concerns over his health.

Police Threaten Action Against Violent Pro-Nnamdi Kanu Protests

The Nigeria Police Force has issued a strong warning against plans for violent protests over the continued detention of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu. The Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, stated that anyone using protests as a cover to incite violence, vandalize property, or carry weapons will be "decisively dealt with." He warned that offenders will be arrested and prosecuted under relevant laws, including those on public order and terrorism. The police also specifically cautioned protesters to avoid the Aso Rock Presidential Villa and its surroundings. This is in line with a recent court order that bans protests in key government areas, including the National Assembly and Force Headquarters. Hundeyin emphasized that the police are under strict instructions to enforce this court order. He urged those planning to demonstrate to instead channel their grievances through the courts and other […]

IPOB Lawyer: Federal Government Has No Legal Basis to Detain Nnamdi Kanu

A member of the legal team representing Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has insisted that the Federal Government lacks any legal justification for his continued detention. Barrister Onyedikachi Ifedi, in a strongly worded statement on Sunday, dismissed recent media publications describing IPOB’s push for Kanu’s acquittal as “political theatre,” calling them “government-sponsored propaganda.” He argued that Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021 amounted to extraordinary rendition, a process prohibited under both Nigerian and international law. Citing the Court of Appeal’s October 2022 judgment, Ifedi noted that the court had declared Kanu’s rendition unlawful and struck out the charges. He criticized the Supreme Court’s December 2023 ruling, which reinstated the case, as a “violation of settled legal principles.” The lawyer further contended that the government is prosecuting Kanu under the Terrorism Prevention (Amendment) Act of […]
