Nollywood actor cum
lawyer, Kenneth Okonkwu, on Tuesday,
November 8, stormed the Federal High
Court, Abuja in support of Biafran
leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
The Barrister cum actor, stormed the
court shortly after Mr. Kanu arrived to
continue his trial on treasonable felony
leveled against him by the Nigerian
government.
The leader of the Indigenous People of
Biafra, (IPOB) appeared before Justice
Binta Nyako of thee Federal High
Court, Abuja.
Meanwhile, Justice Nyako is the third
judge handling the case against the
Biafran leader. The first judge that
handled Kanu’s matter was Justice
Shuiabu Usman of a Magistrate Court
in Wuse zone 2, Abuja, the second was
Justice Adeniyi Ademola, who actually
granted the IPOB leader bail.
Kanu alongside his co-accused,
Benjamin Madubugwu and David
Nwawuisi are facing a six-count
charge of treasonable felony, brought
against them by the Federal
Government of Nigeria.
Although they have been granted bail
twice by a federal high court sitting in
Abuja, President Muhammadu Buhari’s
led government has refused to obey
the court orders raising doubts over
the possibility of Mr. Kanu and his co-
accused regaining freedom.
