Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), who is facing terrorist accusations brought against him by the federal government, has expressed displeasure with the way his trial is being conducted.
He argued that the focus of his trial is shifting from prosecution to persecution.
The principal attorney for IPOB leader Kanu, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, stated during a news conference in Abuja that the federal government is treating him unfairly and that he should not be prosecuted for terrorism-related offenses before the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Ejimakor claimed that Kanu is denied access to his attorney, making it difficult for him to effectively prepare for his courtroom defense against the allegations levied against him.
“Our worry is the way we, as lawyers, are being denied access to him while in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).
