Today the 21st day of October 2021, the leader of the federal government of Nigeria proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra's (IPOB) Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was brought to court by DSS for his trial.
There was a series of uproar as strict security personnel barred lot's of journalists, lawyers, activists, traditional rulers/chiefs, and as well concerned Nigerians were all deprived access into the court where the trial is to be held. The situation led to much anger as most Nigerians grip with the disbelief that the trial is nothing but a secret trial.
Representatives from Ohaneze Ndigbo, the social cultural organization of the Igbo people were also denied access into the court.
Nnamdi Kanu pleaded not guilty to all charges, as Justice Binta Nyanko adjourned the trial to 10 November 2021. Also Kanu was pronounced to be returned to the DSS custody instead of Kuje Correctional Center in Abuja as an earlier filing request made by the led Counsel of Mr. Kanu to transfer him from the DSS cell.
At the end of today's trial, Mr. Kanu led counsel Barr. Ejiofor told newsmen that they will be returning to court again on 10th November 2021, he aired his displeasure for security not allowing people and some Igbo leaders access into the court, as he said he hopes that will change in the next court seating as scheduled.
