Nnamdi Kanu, the self-declared leader of the banned Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, moaned angrily on Wednesday that he was becoming blind and pleaded with the judge to save him.
Kanu claims he hasn’t been permitted to use his family’s reading glasses since his re-arrest.
The defendant, speaking via his main lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekhome SAN, told Justice Binta Nyako that his spectacles were shattered while being picked up in Kenya, where he was detained.
He also alleged that the glasses he took to Nigeria when he was originally detained in 2015 were taken by the Department of State Services (DSS) and that he has yet to get them.
Kanu further said that he was not permitted to borrow clothing from his family, so he has been wearing the same shirt since his re-arrest in June of last year.
Kanu is requesting that the accusations against him be dismissed since the alleged crimes were not committed in Nigeria at the time of this report.
He further stated that the Federal Government had produced no prima facie case against him during the proving of evidence in support of the allegations.
