BREAKING: IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu has announced in court that he no longer intends on opening his defence in his ongoing terrorism trial, says there are no charges against him.
Kanu, who had previously informed the court of his desire to summon witnesses by submitting a written request for witness summons decided not to proceed with his initial plan to call witnesses to testify in his defense during his current trial for alleged terrorism charges.
When the case was brought up on Monday, Kanu asserted that after reviewing the case file, he found no legitimate charges against him.
He asserted that, due to his belief that no legitimate charges have been brought against him and that he was subjected to an unfair trial, he sees no reason to present a defense.
Justice James Omotosho instructed him (Kanu) to submit a written statement addressing the matter and ensure it is delivered to the prosecution, while also recommending that he seeks guidance from criminal law specialists regarding the implications of the path he has selected.
The judge adjourned proceedings to the 4th, 5th, and 6th of November to allow for the final written arguments to be presented. This decision follows the defendant's claim that neither the evidence presented nor the charges have proven any case against him, prompting a consideration of whether he needs to present a defense.
