Biafra agitator Nnamdi Kanu has finally complied with the directive of the Federal High Court, Abuja, to open his defence in the terrorism charges brought against him by the Federal Government.
After months of resistance, Kanu on Friday began filing his defence documents inside the courtroom, in line with an order issued by Justice James Omotosho.

Following repeated complaints by the defendant, Justice Omotosho directed that the court’s registry be temporarily moved into the courtroom to enable Kanu complete the filing process without further delay.
Counsel to the Federal Government, Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN), informed the court that he was ready to receive the defence documents from Kanu and respond accordingly.
As of the time of filing this report, the defence submission was still ongoing, with the judge standing down proceedings for one hour to allow the process to be completed.
Until now, Kanu had repeatedly declined to open his defence, insisting that the prosecution must first specify the exact terrorism law he was accused of breaching before he could proceed.
