Alleged Terrorism: Kanu Declines To Enter Defence, Insists No Case Against Him
At the resumed hearing, Kanu said he has gone through the case-file and has realised that there is no valid charge against him.
The leader of the proscribed separatist group, the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has shelved his earlier plan to call witnesses in his defence in his ongoing trial for alleged terrorism offences.
The court had adjourned the case until October 27 for Kanu to open his defence on October 24. The IPOB leader had written the court, indicating his intention to call witnesses and applied for a witness summons. He also begged the court for time to study his case file.
At the resumed hearing, Kanu said he has gone through the case file and has realised that there is no valid charge against him.
He argued that since he is convinced that there is no valid charge against him and that he was subjected to an unlawful trial, there would be no need for him to open any defence.
