Kanu Trial: Court Adjourns to October 21

Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja has adjourned the trial of leader of Indigenious People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu to October 21, 2021.

Ravenewsonline.com reports that this is as a result of the failure of the Federal Government to produce him in court.

The presiding judge insisted he cannot be try in absentia.

Earlier on Monday, supporters of Nnamdi Kanu, lawyers including journalists had a running battle with the security Operatives restricting access to court.

Large number of security details were sighted within the premises.

Controversy trailed the coverage of the case when the Federal High Court in the prompting of the Department of State Security accredited only 10 media houses to cover the proceedings.

This was later increased to 12 amidst criticism.
