The legal battle surrounding Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) continues as the Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered him to appear for a hearing on Monday, February 10, 2025.
The order, issued by Justice Binta Nyako, comes despite Kanu’s repeated calls for his trial to be moved to the South-East, where he argues the alleged offences took place.
The hearing notice read partly, “Suit No:FHC/ABJ/CR/383/2015 – Hearing notice between the Federal Republic of Nigeria (Plaintiff) and Nnamdi Kanu (Defendant). This case will be transferred from the general cause list to the hearing paper for Monday, the 10th day of February 2025, at 9:00 a.m. in the forenoon and will come on to be heard on that day if the business of the court permits, or otherwise on some adjournment day of which you will receive no further notice.
