The Federal Government is set to re-arraign the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, on an amended six-count of treasonable felony charge.
The amendment comes on a day trial Justice Binta Nyako fixed to hear an application Mr Kanu filed to be released on bail, pending the determination of the charge against him.
A member of Mr Kanu’s legal team, who craved anonymity, told Journalists that the federal government had in the amended charge, listed some lawyers representing Mr Kanu including Ifeanyi Ejiofor and Maxwell Opara, as accomplices of the defendant.
Against their last month decision, the court authorities have stopped the movement of the trial to the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, at Jabi District of Abuja.
Also, the authorities of the Court have permitted the media to witness the treasonable felony charges brought against the Biafra nation agitator by the Federal Government.
At the time of this report, fully armed operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, have taken perfect control of the security situations within and outside the court premises.
The court had last month issued a Practice Direction which moved the trial to CCT believed to be large and spacious enough to accommodate the crowd that usually surged to witness the trial.
The Practice Direction endorsed by the Chief Judge of the Court, Justice John Tsoho had also prohibited media coverage except where expressly permitted.
