After years of  gruesome and dramatic trial, the Abuja division of the Federal High Court has finally fixed November 20 for judgment in the alleged terrorism charge against Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Justice James Omotosho fixed the date after Kanu’s defence was foreclosed following his insistence that he would not enter his defence under a repealed law.

“This court has given opportunity to the defendant under Section 36 as required by the constitution, and I will not allow this to continue,” Justice Omotosho said.

“It is based on this, without hesitation, that I say that the defendant has waived his right,” Justice Omotosho said.
