flag Nnamdi Kanu challenges court jurisdiction in his terrorism trial, citing rights violations, as trial prep proceeds.

flag Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the banned IPOB, has filed a legal challenge questioning the court’s jurisdiction in his terrorism trial, arguing the prosecution violates constitutional and human rights standards. flag The Federal High Court, presided over by Justice James Omotosho, has ruled Kanu medically fit to stand trial and set October 23 for his defense to begin, with a private consultation scheduled for October 22. flag Prosecutors have questioned the authenticity of Kanu’s filing, demanding confirmation from his lead lawyer. flag Meanwhile, the Forum of Victims of Separatist Violence opposes Kanu’s release, urging the government to uphold judicial independence and justice. flag In contrast, the Rule of Law and Accountability Advocacy Centre and the Ethnic Youth Leaders for Peace advocate for a political solution, citing failed repression and calling for dialogue, inclusion, and structural reforms to address the root causes of unrest.
