Nnamdi Kanu Challenges Terrorism Charges in Court, Insists "No Case to Answer"
Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), insists in court that the terrorism charges against him lack legal foundation. Kanu argues that there is no case to answer as the charges are unknown to Nigerian law.
Despite objections from the prosecution, the judge dismisses the defense's arguments and warns against delaying tactics. Kanu risks forfeiting his right to defend if he fails to proceed within the allotted time.
The court emphasizes the need for the trial to move forward in line with due process.
