Nnamdi Kanu heads Indigenous People of Biafra , a group he founded in 2014 that is pressing for the secession of the Igbo ethnic group's homeland, which covers part of southeast Nigeria.
Nigerian authorities view IPOB as a terrorist group and last year accused it of a string of attacks on police stations and government offices in the southeast. The group denies this and has called the accusations an attempt to force it to disband. Kanu has pleaded not guilty to all seven charges that he faces, which include terrorism, calling for secession and knowingly broadcasting falsehoods about President Muhammadu Buhari.
The amended sheet represented"the worst kind of abuse of legal process" and was designed to delay the trial and keep Kanu in detention, Ejiofor said in a statement.
