Nnamdi Kanu's Lawyers Protest, Court Forced to Adjourn Trial

 

The federal high court Abuja was today forced to shift the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra till January 19 and 20 next year.

 

According to DailyPost, the legal team, led by Ifeanyi Ejiofor, had chosen to stay out of court in protest against the refusal of security operatives to permit a foreign lawyer into the courtroom.

 

Although Ejiofor and others had earlier entered the room, they left when information got to them that the foreign counsel would not be allowed into the courtroom.

 

Justice Binta Nyako adjourned the matter when it became obvious that the lawyers would not come back.

 

Meanwhile, Kanu has been returned to the custody of the Department of State Services.
