Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Abuja, on Thursday, overruled the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, on his argument challenging the courts jurisdiction on the terrorism case.
The activist had argued that the court lacked jurisdiction to try him on the alleged terrorism charge.
At the resumed hearing of the case, the judge held that the issues raised by Kanu to challenge the court’s jurisdiction had already been decided by the court.
Justice Omotosho, who urged Kanu to make use of the opportunity that the constitution gives him under Section 36 to defend himself, ordered him to enter his defence.
The judge, thereafter, adjourned the trial till October 24 for the IPOB leader to open his defence.
