Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has said a lot is happening in the country in an explosive drama in court.

Kanu claimed that Justice Binta Nyako could not try him justly, alleging that she is currying favours with her son and relatives in corruption cases.

“Why is it that when it comes to my case they turn the law upside down,” he roared.

He made the claims on Monday after the federal high court in Abuja suspended his terrorism trial indefinitely.

Kanu has been facing terrorism charges since 2015. His journey to this point has been marked by controversy and drama. He was first arrested in October 2015 by the Nigerian government on charges including treasonable felony, inciting violence, and operating an illegal organization.

After spending more than a year in detention, Kanu was granted bail in April 2017 under strict conditions. However, in September 2017, his home in Abia State was raided by the Nigerian military during “Operation Python Dance.” Following the raid, Kanu disappeared and was later discovered to have fled Nigeria.

For almost four years, his whereabouts remained largely unknown until June 2021, when the Nigerian government announced that Kanu had been rearrested in Kenya and extradited to Nigeria. Since his return to detention, Kanu has faced multiple court hearings.
