The leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, on Monday 26, July 2021, continued his trial at the Abuja High Court.

Recall that the Biafra leader was reportedly rearrested in Kenya and extradited back to Nigeria on the 27th of June, 2021.

The secessionist was then arraigned before Justice Binta Nyako who ordered his remand in the custody of the DSS until his next trial date which is July 26 and 27.
