While at the resumed hearing of his terrorism trial, the leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu has challenged the jurisdiction of the federal high court to continue his trial.
The development followed the withdrawal of all Senior Advocates representing the defendant from the matter.
Nnamdi Kanu in his oral presentation before the court, alleged that the court of appeal has discharged him in his verdict.
Nnamdi kanu by the order of the court 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 had earlier listed 23 witnesses to testify in his matter.
Nnamdi kanu is facing trial on a seven-count charge bordering on terrorism.
