The ongoing treason trial of Nnamdi Kanu, Leader of the now proscribed indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), at the Federal High Court, Abuja, has been adjourned to December 5.

The adjournment was due to the absence of ‎Binta Nyako, the Judge that is presiding over the case, who is said to be attending the “All Judges’ Conference” at the National Judicial Institute, Abuja.

Again, Kanu was absent from court on Monday. His whereabouts has remained unknown since the alleged invasion of his home in Afara-Ukwu, Umuahia, the Abia State capital, by the military on September 14.

His co-defendants, Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi, were brought to the court by personnel of the Nigeria Prison Service, from Kuje Prison where they are being remanded.

Also, Eyinnaya Abaribe, Senator representing Abia South Senatorial District, who is one of the three sureties that signed Kanu’s bail bond, was present in court on Monday.

Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Kanu’s lawyer, had told the court at the resumption of trial on October 17 that the Nigerian Army was in the best position to provide information on his whereabouts.
