The Federal High Court has set November 20th for judgment in the terrorism trial of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Justice Omotosho selected the date on Friday following his decision after Kanu failed to present his defence, having utilised the six days allocated by the court for this purpose.
The judge stated that since Kanu did not make use of the opportunity granted to him to conduct his defence, he cannot claim to have been denied the constitutionally guaranteed rights to a fair hearing.
Meanwhile, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Joe Igbokwe, has said that Kanu, who leads the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), is responsible for the problems Igbos are facing in Lagos today.
This was as he shared an audio of Kanu's numerous broadcasts calling for attacks on Lagos during the EndSARS protest of 2020.
According to the audio, Kanu celebrated the burning of police stations in Lagos during the protest and called for the killing of police officers.
He earlier said, "I want Lagos State to be on flames. Go and burn down Lagos, if you have a double-barreled, if you have a pistol, anything you have, give them, let them go and kill them. Penetrate the airport. Set Murtala Muhammad Airport on fire, set it ablaze now, then the world will listen. You are dealing with animals. Fulani Janjaweeds, they are animals, they do not reason."
Reacting, Igbokwe said the above broadcast issued by Kanu on his pirate Radio Biafra is to blame for whatever Igbo people are going through in Lagos.
He shared on Facebook, "Damning and Monumental Evidence That Cannot Be Disputed Anywhere In The World. Whatever Igbo People are going through in Lagos today is the consequence of what THE BUTCHER OF SOUTH EAST Radio broadcast in 2020 during #ENDSARS PROTEST IN LAGOS.}
