Kanu Fails to Open Defense Again in Terrorism Trial, Court Adjourns
In a terrorism trial at the Federal High Court in Abuja, Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), failed for the second time to open his defense. Kanu sought an adjournment to prepare his defense, leading counsel for the federal government, Adegboyega Awomolo, did not oppose the request.
Justice James Omotosho granted the adjournment until Monday, emphasizing Kanu's right to a fair hearing. Kanu was not compelled to proceed and chose to waive his right to open his defense.
