A Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday adjourned
indefinitely the trial of the Biafra nation agitator, Nnamdi Kanu in the
terrorism charges brought against him by the Federal Government.
Justice Binta Nyako put off the trial sine die at the
instance of Kanu, pending the resolution of the Federal Government’s appeal
against the October 13 judgment of the Court of Appeal that discharged him from
the terrorism charges.
The Federal Government’s appeal seeking reversal of the
Court of Appeal judgment is pending before the Supreme Court.
Two other cases billed for hearing before the court were
also put off indefinitely for the same reason.
DAILY POST reports that Kanu had refused to appear in court
on Monday in protest against the refusal of the federal government to release
him from detention as ordered by the Court of Appeal on October 13.
