Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the lead counsel for the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra , Nnamdi Kanu says the legal team did not walk out on Binta Nyako, the judge of the Abuja division of the Federal High Court handling the separatist’s trial.
The continuation of Kanu’s trial abruptly ended on Wednesday due to the absence of his legal team, with the judge adjourning till January 19, 2022. Kanu, who is being prosecuted on seven counts bordering on terrorism, had before Wednesday’s proceedings, engaged the operatives of the Department of State Services in a shouting match inside the courtroom when he observed the absence of his legal team.
As proceedings resumed after the judge entered the courtroom, Mohammed Abubakar announced an appearance for the prosecution. However, the defence team, led by Ejiofor was nowhere to be found, prompting the judge to ask Kanu of his lawyers’ whereabouts.
