Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), is set to defend himself in court as his trial resumes on March 21, 2025. Kanu, who has been facing charges related to terrorism, treasonable felony, and other criminal activities, is expected to present his case before the court after several months of legal proceedings.
Kanu, who has been in detention since his arrest in 2021, has consistently maintained his innocence and expressed his willingness to defend his actions. The trial, which has attracted national and international attention, is poised to address key issues surrounding his alleged involvement in the activities of IPOB, as well as his calls for the secession of Biafra from Nigeria.
The resumption of the trial marks a significant moment in the ongoing legal battle, with Kanu's legal team preparing to present their defense in full. Supporters of the IPOB leader have continued to rally behind him, calling for his immediate release and asserting his right to a fair trial.
As the trial continues, the Nigerian government remains firm in its stance that Kanu’s actions pose a threat to national security and the unity of the country. Meanwhile, Kanu’s legal team is preparing for a robust defense, with the leader himself expected to take the stand to speak in his own defense.
