The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, today adjourned further proceedings in the case against the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, till Wednesday.
The adjournment followed Kanu’s complain that the Federal Government failed to promptly serve him the fresh 15-count amended charge it brought before the court.
Kanu, through is team of lawyers led by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mike Ozekhome, further accused Federal Government of denying him the necessary facility to defend the charge against him.
Ozekhome, told the court that the amended charge was served on them, barely 24 hours to the scheduled hearing.
On his part, the Prosecution team, led by Mohammed Labaran from the Federal Ministry of Justice, said he was not opposed to the court granting a short adjournment to enable the defence lawyers to study the charge.
Meanwhile, before adjourning the case, Justice Binta Nyako, ordered the Department of State Services, DSS, to allow Kanu to have a change of cloth.
