The Federal High Court in Abuja has scheduled November 20 for the delivery of judgment in the terrorism case against Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Justice James Omotosho announced the date on Friday after Kanu failed to open his defence within the six days allocated by the court for him to present his case.
In his ruling, Justice Omotosho held that Kanu could not claim to have been denied his constitutional right to a fair hearing, noting that he had been given ample opportunity to defend himself but failed to do so.
Kanu, who has been in detention since his re-arrest in 2021, is facing terrorism-related charges brought by the Federal Government.
