Buhari Govt Amend Charges Against Nnamdi Kanu Ahead Of Thursday Trial — Lawyer
The accusations against pro-Biafra activist Nnamdi Kanu have been revised by President Muhammadu Buhari’s government.
Kanu’s lawyers were served with the revised charges on Wednesday.
Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Kanu’s lead counsel, revealed this in a statement signed and published last night after a regular visit to Kanu.
The statement reads partly: “Today, I and my colleague, Bar. Alloy Ejimakor, had a very fruitful visitation to Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. We discussed a wide range of matters, especially concerning Hearing in his case and appearance in court on 21st October, 2021. There will be more on this later.
“The coast is now clear for legal fireworks this Thursday, particularly now that we have been served with a purported “Amended Charge” in the Case.”
Ejimakor disclosed that Kanu is in good spirit ahead of the resumption of his trial on Thursday.
“Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is in good spirit, awaiting his auspicious outing on Thursday, the 21st Day of October, 2021. He commended those who are in the spirit with him, while declaring that Chukwuokike Abiama has ordained this special Day for a victorious outing,” he said.
On Thursday, Kanu is scheduled to appear before the Federal High Court in Abuja, which is presided over by Justice Binta Nyako.
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader will appear before Justice Nyako to resume his treason trial.
After jumping bail and fleeing the country in 2017, the Biafra activist was re-arrested in July and extradited to Nigeria.
