Judge Orders Removal of Nnamdi Kanu Over Court Outburst

In a dramatic scene at the Federal High Court in Abuja, Justice James Omotosho ordered security to remove Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), from the courtroom after he repeatedly interrupted proceedings demanding justice. Kanu's outburst was triggered by the denial of his right to file a written address before the judgment was delivered.

The judge dismissed Kanu's motion for a fresh application, citing legal provisions prohibiting the stay of criminal trial proceedings. Despite Kanu's objections, the judge proceeded to read the long-awaited judgment, maintaining the court's jurisdiction over the case.
