Nnamdi Kanu, other political prisoners must be free – Igbo elders
Indications have emerged that the Federal Government may today kick-start the trial of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu in the terrorism charges after his formal arraignment.
The court room of the Federal High Court in Abuja where the arraignment is scheduled to hold has been flooded with documentary evidence to be tendered against Kanu by the Government.
Also electronic equipment comprising various cameras have been brought to court and are being inspected by the lead counsel to the Federal Government, Mr Shuaib Magaji Labaran.
Although Kanu is yet to be brought into the court room, his lawyers led by Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, have taken their seats waiting for the arrival of their client.
Similarly, family members of the Biafran leader, including a nursing mother have taken their seats.
A representative of the British High Commissioner billed to watch the trial for the United Kingdom has also been allowed into the court room.
