Treason Charge: What must be done before I’ll face trial, Kanu tells court

Kanu, at the resumed proceedings on the matter at the Federal High Court in Abuja, said he would not oppose the acceleration of his trial once the conditions he enumerated were fulfilled.

Insisting that he never violated any of his bail conditions prior to the time that security agents invaded his home, Kanu, urged the court to set aside the warrant of arrest that was subsequently issued against him over the false claim that he jumped bail and escaped from the country. However, FG, through its team of lawyers led by Chief Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN, asked the court to reject the conditions on the ground that they are frivolous, vexatious, irritating and baseless.

More so, FG argued that it was not in the position of the defendant to dictate how his trial should be conducted or to list conditions the court must met before he would be tried.After she had listened to both sides, trial Justice Binta Nyako fixed May 20 to rule on the matter. Kanu was later re-arrested in Kenya on June 19, 2021 and extraordinarily renditioned back to the country by security agents on June 27, 2021.
