The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has sought an order at the Court of Appeal to restrain the Federal High Court from delivering judgment in his ongoing terrorism trial.
Reports say Kanu is asking the appeal court to stop Justice Omotosho from delivering judgment on his case on November 20, 2025, as scheduled, pending the hearing and determination of the appeal against the high court’s decision in the case.
Kanu says he made the application because the trial court refused to evaluate the evidence of the prosecution witnesses vis-à-vis the cross-examination questions to determine whether the evidence was discredited under cross-examination.
He also faulted the decision of the court on the no-case submission, its refusal to determine its jurisdiction and the validity of the counts under which the appellant is being tried, and its foreclosure of the appellant’s right to defend the case by fielding witnesses.
