Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court has pruned the number of persons who applied to observe the trial of leader of the Indigenous People's of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, which resumes on Tuesday, April 29, 2025.

Over 30 persons, including convener of "Take it Back Movement" Omoyele Sowore had applied to be in court as observers.

However, it was gathered that the court approved a list of 20 persons to be allowed into the court as observers. The approved list, it was further gathered, contained the names of close family members of the IPOB leader. The observers must be seated before 9am, the court said.

However, missing on the list of observers cleared for Tuesday's hearing is Omoyele Sowore.

It will be recalled that, in addition to Chief Kanu Agabi and Uchenna Njoku, Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs) four Senior advocates, Prof. Onyechi Ikpeazu, Emeka Etiaba, Mela, Dr. Joseph Akubo and Audu Nunghe had indicated a willingness to join Kanu's defence team.

During the last court outing, Justice Omotosho had approved an accelerated hearing on the seven-count terrorism charge against Kanu.

Kanu is Tinubu's last card for the SE votes.
He would be urged to join APC and contest either as Abia governorship or senate. Whether Kabu will accept is the big question.

It should be transparent, they should televise it. Even though he is not in the list of my preferred people, he should be given fair treatment

Toh

Dey go we dey your back, next time just tear race

Baby political analyst, I don't think you are up to 25 years.



🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This trial is a waste of time. You go all the way to Kenya to kidnapp a man and bring him to Nigeria to stand trial, and all you can charge him with is what was said on Radio Biafra

the way some people boasted, if somebody had told me that the guy will still be incarcerated by now and Nigeria will be relatively peaceful despite his incarceration, I won't have believed it. We have seen that nothing will happen even if he continues to remain in prison, the govt should just warn him, he will sign undertaking to be of good conduct and be released, if he breaches his undertaking, they can always pick him up.

Even anyone will go all the way to Finland to arrest any terrorist. Interpol's are always at alert. Since you already know the law, kindly join Kanu legal team if you are serious especially since he has reduced his numbers of active lawyers probably due to financial crisis and reasons known to him. Imagine some Biafran best lawyers that Tinubu lawyers defeated and rendered jobless from top political jobs since 2023 election are offering to help Kanu to properly buy their prestige back to life.

Kanu will be released at age 73 when he is inactive to lead to lead ipob or vomit trouble any longer. Court doesn't work on emotion, it didn't work for obidients wanting free, public and transparent tribunal matters, so it can work for Kanu either; ipob members like you are only making you're usual noises

Annoyingly, they are still embarking on the obsolete methods and expecting different outcomes

Running for senate or governorship is belittling. Kanu has gone more than these two positions

This is good ..that opportunistic fellow called sowore wanted to use this to gain popularity...i just dislike people like that sowore guy ..that is exactly how d politicians we r seeing today started....theg have nothing to offer other than playing with the emotions of the people

The same thing you people are saying for over four years.




Kanu is there not because of selfish reasons, but because of love for his people.


If not he would have cashed out since.




It hard to see men like Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.



God bless him

What do you expect from an APC judge.

Things are falling apart, my friend. For the same reason Tinubu surrogates are now secretly lobbying SE and poaching SS for votes ahead of the 2027 polls. The North is cooking a very sour meal for Tinubu as you are well aware, and they are succeeding in galvanizing their people. Imams are now buying into the narrative. Even APC chieftains are an integral part of the campaign.

As we speak, there are very compelling indications that an alliance of progressive forces and the old political alliance between the North and SE is blossoming again, having smelt the disgust of the fraud called Tinubu.

Very interesting times ahead, Helinues. If you're a smart man, you may wanna consider changing teams now. Contact me for a mid-level position.

Kanu is a threat to national security. NSA needs some of our expertise. I wouldn't advise the Presidency or ONSA to lose sight of this fact.

That will be a very bad mistake from Tinubu.

Igbos do not practice herd-mentality.

Igbos loved Ojukwu, but never voted for him when he contested for the presidency. Igbos are independent minded. That's whom they are.

Once Nnamdi Kanu enters politics, he loses his respect and followership.

If it was easy to buy MNK, your god would have done so. But eh hook.
