Judge’s Absence Stalls Kanu’s Trial

Trial of the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, at an Abuja Federal High Court has been adjourned till December 5, 2017.

 

The IPOB leader is standing trial before the Justice Binta Nyako-led court for charges bordering on treasonable felony leveled against him by the Federal Government.

 

The matter was adjourned due to the absence of ‎ Justice Nyako, who is said to be attending the “All Judges Conference” being held at the National Judicial Institute, Abuja.

Kanu was noticeably absent from court for the second time, following his disappearance after soldiers allegedly invaded his residence in Abia State on September 14.

Despite Kanu’s absence, Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe, who is one of the IPOB’s sureties was however in court.
