Court adjourns Nnamdi Kanu’s: The trial of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has been adjourned to October 21 by Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja, following the failure of the Department of State Security DSS to produce him in court today, July 26.
When the case was called up, Justice Binta Nyako said there was nothing the court could do because the defendant, Nnamdi Kanu, had not been produced in court by the DSS. Kanu was not present in court due to logistical issues, according to the prosecution’s counsel, Mohammed Abubakar.

Justice Nyako then ordered the DSS to allow Kanu’s lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, access to his client, and she also promised to work with the prosecution and defence lawyers, as well as the head of the security team, to devise a plan to allow Ejiofor access to his client, whom he claims he has not seen in eight days.
Justice Nyako then adjourned the case until October 21 but said it could be rescheduled if the prosecution was able to obtain a fiat from the court’s Chief Judge to allow proceedings during the court’s current vacation.
Kanu is facing terrorism, treasonable felony, unlawful possession of firearms, and management of unlawful society charges.
