Mr Kanu, who is being tried on an a seven-count charge bordering on treasonable felony, was expected to take a fresh plea to 15-count...

), was “truncated” on Tuesday due to the late service of the amended charges on the secessionist’s legal team.

The defence lawyer with the amended charge only served on him Monday morning, he had yet to discuss the contents of the fresh charge with Mr Kanu.“The date that was set down for trial was the day Mr Ejiofor staged a walk-out on the court,” Mrs Nyako said. Mr Ozekhome lamented that it was the sixth time the federal government had amended charges against the IPOB leader, describing the latest as a “judicial ambush, not justice.”Dissatisfied with the prosecuting lawyer’s argument over the time of service, Mrs Nyako retorted, “but it is bad enough.”

But the judge restated her earlier orders, directing the secret police to give Mr Kanu the “maximum comfort” that is available.The fresh amendment to the case by the prosecution saw addition of eight charges to make a total number of 15 counts. In count 10, the charge said: “between 2018 and 2021, that you Nnamdi Kanu of Afara-Ukwu Ibeku, Umahia North Local Government Area of Abia State on diverse dates, made a broadcast received and heard in Nigeria within the jurisdiction of this court, in furtherance of an act of terrorism against the Federal Republic of Nigeria, you incite members of the public to destroy public facilities and you thereby committed an offence punishable” under the Terrorism Prevention Act.
