Biafra agitator Nnamdi Kanu has finally “complied with the directive of the Federal High Court in Abuja to open his defence” in the terrorism charges filed against him by the Federal Government.
Kanu, who had “long resisted proceeding with his defence,” began filing his defence documents on Friday inside the courtroom, adhering to an order by Justice James Omotosho.
Following “several complaints raised by the defendant,” Justice Omotosho directed that the court’s registry be “temporarily relocated to the courtroom” to allow Kanu to complete the filing process “without further delay.”

Counsel for the Federal Government, Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN), informed the court he “was prepared to receive the defence documents from Kanu and respond appropriately.”
At the time of filing the report, the defence submission “was still ongoing,” with the judge standing down proceedings for one hour to allow the process to be completed.
Until this development, Kanu had “consistently refused to open his defence,” arguing that “the prosecution must first identify the specific terrorism law he allegedly violated before he could proceed.”
