The trial of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the imprisoned leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been postponed by Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, Justice Nyako postponed the pro-Biafra activist’s case to 14 November 2022, awaiting the Appeal Court’s decision.
According to information obtained, Nnamdi Kanu’s legal team will appeal the High Court’s refusal of his bail request.
BREAKING: Federal High Court Rejects Nnamdi Kanu’s Bail Application
Anaedoonline.ng has previously reported that the separatist had submitted a new application to be released on bail while the Federal Government’s treasonable criminal accusation against him is being adjudicated.
However, when Kanu and his legal counsel showed up in front of the court on Tuesday for a hearing, the application was dismissed.
Kanu explicitly asked the court to overturn the ruling it delivered on March 28, 2019, which authorized FG to trial him in absentia and issued a bench warrant for his arrest.
The judge overseeing the case, Justice Binta Nyako, stated on Tuesday that she was not pleased with the explanation the IPOB leader provided for why he did not show up for the continuation of his trial.
