The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has failed to open his defence for the second time at the Federal High Court in Abuja in his alleged terrorism trial.
Kanu, who opted to defend himself, told Justice James Omotosho upon resumed hearing this Friday that his disengaged lawyers were yet to hand over the case file to him, saying that they have not been granted access to him.
He instead requested an adjournment to enable him prepare for his defence, to which the counsel for the Federal Government, Adegboyega Awomolo, did not oppose but prayed the court to stick to the standing order which directed Kanu to defend himself within six days.
Justice Omotosho, has now adjourned the matter until Monday for Kanu to open his defence.
