The Federal High Court has set February 8, 2024, as the date to continue the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
This decision comes after Kanu’s Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, confirmed the new date following a meeting with Kanu at the Department of State Services (DSS) facility in Abuja.
Ejimakor stated, “Update: Myself and Prince Emma Kanu have exited today’s visitation of Onyendu #MNK. The situation remains tough but Onyendu is tougher.
“On the flip side, we’ve succeeded in persuading the Federal High Court to hear his case on February 8, 2024. So, the date is set. Yes!”
The trial is a significant development in the legal proceedings against Kanu, who faces various charges. This decision also comes amidst other legal actions involving Kanu, including a N50 billion suit against the Federal Government, which has been adjourned until April 22, 2024, as Ejimakor takes over the case from the previous counsel.
