Simultaneously, Nnamdi Kanu, facing terrorism charges brought by the Federal Government, has engaged new legal representation for his defense.

Kanu’s trial is set to resume at the Federal High Court in Abuja this Monday. The leader of the proscribed IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has initiated a fresh legal effort to secure bail for the terrorism charges leveled against him by the federal government.

The motion for bail, dated February 5, 2024, is being pursued by Alloy Ekimakor on behalf of Kanu.
