Nnamdi Kanu to Represent Himself in Trial Resuming March 21

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has decided to represent himself in court as his trial resumes on March 21.

This was confirmed in a statement released by his brother, Emmanuel Kanu, on behalf of the family. According to the statement, Kanu has opted to handle his legal defense personally, though the reasons behind this decision remain unclear.

Kanu, who has been in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) since his re-arrest in 2021, is facing multiple charges, including treasonable felony. His legal battles have drawn significant attention, with calls from various groups demanding his release.

The upcoming court session is expected to be closely watched, as Kanu’s decision to represent himself could impact the course of the trial.
