During the hearing on Wednesday at the Federal High Court Abuja, Kanu agreed to acceleration of prosecution of the charges against him on the ground that his conditions are met. The IPOB leader, through his lawyer Aloy Ejimakor, listed three conditions that must be met before the trial could resume. Among others, he demanded that the bail granted him earlier be restored to enable him prepare for his defense.
He also demanded that his lawyer must be permitted to have unhindered access to him as required by law. The Biafra agitator said that he would be willing to face accelerated trial once the conditions are met. The Federal Government through its counsel, Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN, asked the court to reject the conditions on the ground that they are frivolous, vexatious, irritating and baseless.
