Leader of the proscribed Indigenous people of Biafra, IPOB ,Nnamdi Kanu has challenged the jurisdiction of the federal high court to continue his trial.
The development followed the sacking of his legal team and withdrawal of all Senior Advocates representing the defendant from the matter.
In his oral presentation before the court, Kanu alleged that the court of appeal has discharged him in his verdict.
Going by the order of the court,Nnamdi Kanu is expected to open his defence this thursday.
The presiding judge, justice James Omotosho ruled that the defendant should open his defence as jurisdictional issues and all others can be challenged at the court of appeal or included in his final written address.
The court therefore adjourned the matter till 24th october, 2025 for the defendant to commence his defence.
Kanu is facing trial on a seven-count charge bordering on terrorism.
