Could Nnamdi Kanu’s decision mark a turning point in his long-running trial? The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has announced that he will no longer call witnesses in his ongoing case involving alleged terrorism charges. When the matter resumed on Monday, Kanu told the court that after reviewing his case file, he found no legitimate charges warranting a defense, arguing that the proceedings against him were unfair and baseless.

According to Jocomms Reporter, Kanu had earlier filed a written request to summon witnesses but later withdrew the plan, maintaining that the prosecution had failed to establish any credible case. In response, Justice James Omotosho directed Kanu to submit a written statement explaining his decision and to serve it on the prosecution. The judge further advised the IPOB leader to seek counsel from criminal law experts to fully understand the legal implications of refusing to call witnesses in his defense.

The court has adjourned proceedings to November 4th, 5th, and 6th for the presentation of final written arguments from both sides. Kanu’s stance has stirred fresh debate over the fairness of his trial and the broader implications for justice and due process in Nigeria. As the next hearing approaches, many are asking — will this bold move by Nnamdi Kanu alter the course of his case? Visit www.jocomms.com for more news.
