Nnamdi Kanu Declares Self-Representation as Lawyers Withdraw in Terrorism Trial

Nnamdi Kanu, facing terrorism charges, announced self-representation as his legal team withdrew from the trial in Abuja. Kanu's lead counsel, Kanu Agabi, formally notified the court of their decision.

Kanu challenged the court's jurisdiction, arguing it lacks competence to try him. He requested a 90-day adjournment to prepare his defense and listed 23 individuals as witnesses, including governors and former top officials.

Notable names on the witness list include Hope Uzodimma, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Nyesom Wike, Abubakar Malami, and Tukur Buratai.
