The office of the Attorney
General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister for Justice, Abubakar Malami
(SAN), has said it expects the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra
(IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, to appear in court for his ongoing trial over alleged
treason.
An official in the AGF’s
prosecution team, who spoke to Daily Trust, stated that the Abuja Federal High
Court on Tuesday, will determine the application seeking to revoke the bail
granted Kanu by Justice Binta Nyako, which the prosecution on August 25 claimed
he violated.
Kanu is facing a five-count
charge bordering on treasonable felony and criminal defamation, alongside
Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi.
The official said the prosecution
was not aware of reports of Kanu’s disappearance, maintaining that he was
expected to be in court to defend his case like other defendants.
“What you are reading about him
are speculations. When we meet in court, whatever happens we will see,” he
said.
