The Federal Government has filed an amended seven-count charge against the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, before a Federal high court in Abuja.

The fresh charges border on treasonable felony and terrorism following the pending charges he was facing since 2016.

Meanwhile, the court has issued hearing notice in the case, which is billed to commence on Thursday, October 21.

The notice titled Federal Republic of Nigeria Versus Nnamdi Kanu with suit number: FHC/ABJ/CR/383/15, was served on Kanu’s lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor and that of the prosecution, Shuaibu Labaran.

The notice indicates that the court presided by Justice Binta Nyako made fresh directives on the conduct of the proceedings throughout the case.

“This case will be transferred from the General Cause List to the hearing paper for Thursday 21st October 2021at 9 o’clock forenoon and will come on to be on that day if the business of the court permits or otherwise on some adjustment day of which you will receive no further notice,” the notice reads.

“If either party desires to postpone the hearing, he must apply to the court as soon as possible for that purpose and if the application is based on any matter of fact, he must be prepared to give proof of those facts.

“The parties are warned that at the hearing, they are required to bring forward all the evidence by witnesses or by documents which each of them desires to rely on in support of his own case and in contradiction of that of his opponent.

“The proof will be required at the hearing and not on a subsequent day, and parties failing to bring their evidence forward at the proper time may find themselves absolutely precluded from adducing it at all, or at best only allowed to do so on payment of substantial costs to the other side, and on such other terms as the court deems fits to impose.

“Parties desirous to enforce the attendance of witnesses should apply at once to the court to issue one or more summonses for the attendance of the witnesses required.

“It is indispensable that the application should be made so as to allow time for reasonable notice to the witnesses required.

“If the witness is required to bring books or papers, they must be particularized in the summons sufficiently to enable him to understand what is meant.

” Any party summoning a witness through the court thereby becomes liable to pay such witness reasonable sum of money to be fixed by the court for his expense and loss of time.

“The court may refuse to enforce the attendance of a witness unless such sum has been fixed and deposited in the court.

“If either party desires to use in evidence at the hearing, any book or document in the possession or power of the other party, he must give the other party, reasonable notice in writing to produce It at the hearing, failing which he will not be allowed to give any secondary evidence of its contents.”

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has ruled out the possibility of engaging the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and the Eastern Security Network, ESN ahead of the November 6 governorship election in Anambra State.

The commission noted that it wouldn’t go out of its way to engage IPOB and ESN that had been outlawed by the Muhammadu Buhari regime.
The INEC spokesman, Festus Okoye, made this known during an interview with Arise TV on Thursday, noting that the commission had been engaging stakeholders including security agencies, civil society organisations and other relevant bodies.

“We recognise political parties, we recognise the people of Anambra State, we recognise civil society groups and organisations, we recognise traditional institutions and the clergy. So, if they are part of civil society groups and organisation and they attend our programmes, we will tell them what we want to do in relation to Anambra elections,” Okoye said.

“But in terms of IPOB, the commission will not go out of its way to go and engage with an organisation that the federal government has declared as illegal. So we won’t do that,” the spokesman stated.

INEC had earlier disclosed that the constant attacks in South-East region did not pose any threat to the November 6 governorship election.

The commission had stated that the November governorship election in Anambra State would go on as planned despite the rising cases of killings attacks by unknown gunmen in the region.

Okoye had explained that in few days, INEC would deliver the non-sensitive materials that would be used for the election.

“As far as the commission is concerned, we are proceeding with the election. We are seriously preparing for the exercise. In the next few days, we are going to deliver the non-sensitive materials meant for the election. So, preparation is on top gear on the part of INEC and we are going ahead with the election,” he had said.

Im surprised they did not declare sit at home for their president. If they declare sit at home on days he will appear in court, why not his birthday.

Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Obiano went round Awka, the capital city and environs today, Monday, 13th September, 2021, to monitor compliance to the government directive concerning the now cancelled sit-at-home - order by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

The Governor in company of members of the State Executive Council visited banks at Ziks Avenue, Awka, to monitor compliance.

As expected, many banks were open for commercial activities.

Governor Obiano used the occasion to call on Ndi Anambra to go about their businesses without fear because the state government has provided adequate security.

The Governor and his team also visited Eke Awka market.

Though some shops were closed, many traders brought out their wares to attend to customers in the Market.

Governor Willie Obiano who took to the streets to monitor compliance, urged people to disregard any counter-directive to the one his government issued and come out to sell their goods and services.

The Governor who said it is important for ndi Anambra to heed to the directive because of its huge economic benefits, promised that adequate security has been provided.

The traders on sighting the Governor and his entourage sang his name in jubilation.

Those images are just for propaganda as I said earlier in my submission on the thread where Boko Haram claimed responsibility. If the plane had been brought down by Anti Aircraft guns, it means it was flying at low level. Firstly, at that altitude, if the fuel exploded it would have still crash landed and the debris seen visibly scattered. It wouldn't have taken Boko Haram time to claim responsibility and show the world the images of the jet . It was after Air Force sent information of Radar loss of contact and another message on the inability to locate the jet that Boko Haram came out with propaganda. Those images are captured images from different occurrences .

Except when a jet goes off radar which means primary, secondary and alternative radar system of the jet failed and the jet crashed into sea. That is when the location of a crashed plane cannot be identified, for this to happen, the plane must be flying at very high altitude and about 100 or 200 miles offshore. Within the North East environment, this condition is not applicable.

They claimed to remove components of the crashed plane and the pilots to cover up their propaganda.
