The Federal High Court has witnessed dramatic scenes in the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra.
Justice James Omotosho ordered Kanu out of the courtroom after he became unruly midway through Thursday’s proceedings, with the trial judge set to deliver judgment in a case spanning ten years.
The judge had earlier dismissed three fresh motions filed by Kanu, ruling them unmeritorious.
As the court prepared to deliver judgment, Kanu objected, insisting he had not filed his final written address. He raised his voice, accused the judge of bias, and declared that the court “did not know the law.”
Following the outburst, security operatives escorted Kanu from the courtroom. Justice Omotosho is now set to proceed with reading the final judgment in the long‑running terrorism case.
