KANU’S CASE: Nigerian Government Closes Terrorism Case Against Nnamdi Kanu

‎The Federal Government of Nigeria today closed its prosecution against detained IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu, marking a critical juncture in the long-running terrorism trial.
‎
‎
‎Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja confirmed the prosecution’s conclusion of its case after presenting its final evidence and witnesses.
‎
‎
‎The court has granted Nnamdi Kanu’s defense team 14 days to file a formal no-case submission, arguing that the prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case requiring the defendant to enter a defense.
‎
‎
‎Following this, the prosecution will have another 14 days to respond to the defense’s arguments.
‎
‎
‎ Justice Omotosho subsequently adjourned proceedings until July 18, 2024, when the court will hear arguments on the no-case submission.
‎
‎
‎This procedural step does not indicate a resolution of the case. If the court rejects the no-case submission, the defense will be required to present its case.
‎
‎
‎However, if accepted, Nnamdi Kanu could potentially be discharged without needing to present a defense.
‎
‎
‎The trial continues under tight security at the Abuja court amid ongoing international attention and domestic tensions surrounding the case.
‎
‎
‎Nnamdi Kanu, who appeared in court today, maintains his innocence on all charges related to terrorism and treasonable felony.
‎
‎
‎Supporters gathered outside the courthouse, while security forces maintained a heavy presence to prevent any disturbances.
‎
‎
‎Legal analysts suggest the no-case submission represents a strategic move by the defense to potentially secure an early termination of the trial.
