JUST IN: Court sets date for Nnamdi kanu’s judgement in terrorism trial

155

Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja has scheduled judgment for November 20 in the terrorism case involving the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

The judge fixed the date on Friday after Kanu failed to open his defence, despite being granted six days by the court to do so.

Justice Omotosho ruled that since Kanu did not take advantage of the opportunity provided to him to present his defence, he could not claim to have been denied his constitutionally guaranteed right to a fair hearing.
