After nearly two years in detention, the controversial figurehead of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, faces renewed justice under the watchful eye of Judge Binta Nyako at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Following the recent ruling by the Supreme Court, clearing the path for Kanu’s continued prosecution on seven outstanding terrorism charges, the long-awaited trial is scheduled to recommence on Monday, February 26.
Kanu, whose return to Nigeria sparked widespread controversy amid allegations of irregularities surrounding his capture abroad, remains held by the Department of State Security Service (DSS).
Despite initial dismissals of eight charges earlier in the trial, the fate of the separatist movement now hinges upon the outcome of this pivotal moment in judicial history.
