IPOB: Nnamdi Kanu back to DSS custody as court adjourns trial

The trial of the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has been adjourned till November 10, 2021.

Kanu, who was arraigned before a Federal High Court in Abuja amidst tight security yesterday, was brought to court in a heavily fortified security convoy, pleaded ‘not guilty’ to the charges bordering on terrorism and treasonable felony.

Recall that the Federal Government had amended seven counts against Kanu. However, the IPOB leader pleaded not guilty to the charges bordering on terrorism and treasonable felony.

Nnamdi Kanus legal team also sought his removal from the custody of the Department of State Services, (DSS), in Abuja. But the presiding judge, Justice Binta Nyako denied the application and adjourned Kanus trial.

Kanu, who is also a British citizen, was in June, arrested in Kenya and repatriated to Nigeria for the continuation of his trial.
