The leader of the banned Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has formally terminated the services of his legal team, signaling his intent to represent himself in ongoing court proceedings.
Speaking directly to the court, Kanu indicated his readiness to defend himself, prompting all members of his legal team—including several Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SAN) led by Kanu Agabi—to step down and withdraw from the case.
During proceedings, Kanu is currently addressing the court from the dock, challenging the jurisdiction of the court to continue with the trial. Observers note that this development marks a significant turn in the high-profile case, as the IPOB leader takes full control of his defense.
The courtroom atmosphere has remained tense, with legal analysts highlighting that self-representation in a case of this magnitude could introduce complex legal dynamics.
Stone Reporter News will continue to monitor updates from the trial as events unfold.
