Nnamdi Kanu Challenges Court's Jurisdiction and Seeks Referral Amid Terrorism Charges
Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), challenges the Federal High Court's jurisdiction and requests referral to the Appeal Court to halt the scheduled judgment on seven terrorism charges. Kanu argues that the charges are baseless and the court lacks jurisdiction, seeking bail pending the case's final determination.
The prosecution insists on proceeding with the judgment, while Kanu's legal team argues for dismissal of the fresh application. Chief Adegboyega Awomolo urges the court to maintain the trial's course, emphasizing issues raised during the trial.
