The trial of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, faces the possibility of being adjourned indefinitely, according to Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court. The judge made this threat in response to Kanu’s lawyer, Alloy Ejimakor, who argued that his client’s right to a fair trial was being disregarded. Justice Nyako stated that she would proceed with the trial once the defense was ready.

Ejimakor informed the court that due to the court’s accelerated hearing, it was crucial for his client to be adequately prepared. However, he claimed that the facility where Kanu was being held was not facilitating proper preparation. Ejimakor also accused the Department of State Services (DSS) of placing hidden cameras in the meeting room designated for trial preparation.

The prosecution lawyer, Awomolo, urged the court to reject the application, asserting that the defense had not provided compelling reasons for it to be granted.

Justice Nyako adjourned the proceedings until May 20 to consider both applications and ordered the prosecution to initiate the trial. She also temporarily halted the proceedings for ten minutes to allow the defense lawyers to hold a brief meeting with Kanu.
