Prominent Radio Biafra Director, Nnamdi Kanu's trial by the federal government has been stalled today due to his absence in Abuja court.
Following the failure of the Department of State Service (DSS) to produce him in court, the trial of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has been stalled.
At the resumed hearing of the case at a Magistrate Court in Abuja, two sets of lawyers, who claimed to be representing Nnamdi Kanu announced his appearance.
One of the lawyers, Vincent Obete, told the court that he was briefed by the family of Nnamdi Kanu to represent him, while the second lawyer, Gabriel Egbule, said he was personally briefed by Nnamdi Kanu on October 19, when he was arraigned before the court.
Following the absence of the accused person, Magistrate Shuaibu Usman ordered the DSS to produce him on November 23, to enable him identify his legal team.
Nnamdi Kanu is standing trial for alleged criminal conspiracy, managing and belonging to an unlawful society and criminal intimidation contrary to sections 97 and 397 of the penal code.
