Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra trial, has been postponed to the 19th and 20th of January, 2022, according to a court order.
According to BBC Pidgin, Kanu had notified the judge, Justice Binta Nyako, that a Department of State Services agent had refused to allow his counsel entrance to the courtroom, and the judge had refused to permit the lawyer admission.
He had already expressed his dissatisfaction with the Department of Social Services' unwillingness to allow some of his attorneys access to the Courtroom.
It has been learned that Kanu was brought into the courtroom at 9:52 a.m. by the DSS.
The IPOB leader appeared in court for the third time since his repatriation to Nigeria was ordered by the Nigerian government in June.
Meanwhile, dozens of people were seen outside the courthouse, demonstrating against Ahmed Gulak's killing.
Those who recall Gulak's death in May, when gunmen opened fire in Owerri, Imo State, killed the former Special Adviser on Politics to President Goodluck Jonathan. Gulak was a former Special Adviser on Politics to the then President, Goodluck Jonathan.
Defending him is the Federal Government, which has filed a seven-count amended treasonable felony charge against him in the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, which was re-arraigned before trial Justice Binta Nyako of the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court.
The Nigerian government claimed in an amended charge marked FHC/ABJ/CR/383/2015, which was signed by a team of government lawyers led by the Director, Public Prosecution of the Federation, Mr. M. B. Abubakar, that Kanu had issued a lethal threat to anyone who disobeyed his sit-at-home order, and that anyone who did so should write his or her will. Kanu has denied making the threat.
A statement from the Nigerian government claimed that as a result of Kanu's instruction, businesses including banks, schools, marketplaces, shopping centers, and gasoline stations were unable to open, and vehicular movements were halted in the country's southernmost region.
According to the court, the activity constituted an offense in violation of and punishable under Section 1(2) (b) of the Terrorism Prevention Amendment Act, 2013.
Five witnesses have been lined up by the Nigerian government to testify in the case, including employees from the Department of State Services (DSS) and one Ronald S., who has been identified as the manager of a hotel in Lagos State.
