Recall that the President General of the Igbo group, Professor George Obiozor, had appointed Ezeife to lead a delegation to the trial of Kanu.
Kanu, who was re-arraigned before Justice Binta Nyako of the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, is facing a seven-count amended treasonable felony charge the Federal Government preferred against him. He had pleaded not guilty during his last trial on October 21, 2021.
Justice Nyako had postponed Kanu’s case to today for further hearing after rejecting his plea to be transferred from the custody of the DSS to Kuje correctional facility
