You’ve Last Chance To defend Yourself, Court Tells Kanu; Sowore Still Wanted CP.
ABUJA–The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Wednesday, said it would give the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, one last opportunity to defend the seven-count terrorism charge the Federal Government entered against him.
Consequently, trial Justice James Omotosho adjourned the case till November 7 for the defendant to open his defence as he was previously ordered to do by the court.
The trial judge warned that he would foreclose Kanu’s right should he fail to enter his defence on the next adjourned date.
He said the decision was anchored on tenets of justice that required that the defendant should be granted sufficient opportunity to exonerate himself.
“We had adjourned till today for the defendant to put in his defence or be deemed closed.
But, I am bound to give him another opportunity to put in his defence.
“If he does not, I will deem him closed. I know that he is an Economist and not a lawyer.
“I will give the last opportunity to the defendant to put in his defence, failure of which he would be deemed closed,” Justice Omotosho held.
