The trial of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, bordering on 15 charges of treasonable felony and terrorism, preferred against him by the Federal Government, resumed on Wednesday at the Federal High Court, Abuja.
But contrary to the order of Justice Nyako, Kanu showed up before the court, wearing the same designer clothes he had on since June 2021 when he was arrested.
Justice Nyako had on Tuesday, ordered the Department of State Services (DSS), to allow Kanu to have a change of clothes.
However, when the matter was called up, the prosecution counsel, Mr. Shuaibu Labaran, told the court that he (Kanu) was the one who chose to wear the designer clothes.
He added that the DSS has provided Kanu with a new Orthopedic mattress, pillows, and blankets.
In response, Kanu’s lead counsel, Mike Ozekhome, told the court that it was not true that his client insisted on wearing his designer clothes as it was not his visiting day on Tuesday so, fresh clothes couldn’t be passed to him.
He added that clothes will be passed to him on his next visiting day.
Ozekhome, however, commended the DSS for providing the IPOB leader with new mattresses and pillows.
Before allowing Kanu to be re-arraigned on the amended 15-count treasonable felony charges, Justice Nyako reiterated her demand for the defendant to have a change of clothes.
Kanu, thereafter, entered his plea to the fresh amended charge against him which borders on his alleged commission of acts of terrorism, felony, incitement, unlawful importation of a radio transmitter, and headship of an illegal organization.
Before he was ushered into the courtroom around 10:15 am, the DSS had produced several documentary pieces of evidence, including electronic devices it would use to play some of the alleged inciting broadcasts that were made by the defendant.
