Kanu Agabi, former Attorney-General of the Federation and lead counsel to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, on Thursday, applied to withdraw his representation in the ongoing terrorism trial before the Federal High Court in Abuja.

Kanu is facing trial on a seven-count charge bordering on terrorism, filed against him by the Federal Government.

When the matter was called on Thursday, Agabi informed the court that he would no longer be representing the IPOB leader, adding that the defendant had decided to take back the case from them.

In the same manner, all the Senior Advocates of Nigeria involved in the matter case also announced their withdrawal from the case.

Kanu, confirming the development, told the court that he would be representing himself for now, but noted that the position might change later.

The trial judge, Justice James Omotosho, asked whether he should assign a lawyer to represent him, but the defendant (Kanu) declined.

Meanwhile, addressing the court orally, Kanu argued that the court lacked jurisdiction to try him.

Recall that Justice Omotosho, on October 16, granted the defendant six consecutive days, beginning from October 23, to open and close his defence in view of the accelerated hearing earlier granted in the case.

Kanu the madman. He has seen the hang man's nose closing in on him. This theatrics by sacking his lawyers won't save him from hanging, if convicted.

Nnamdi kanu's order to his private militia led to the killing of thousands of Igbo people, destruction of properties and render million of Igbo people homeless.

That justice, (though he denied alot of people) will drastically applied to remedy this.

Can you see this muntula, see another game and delay tactics he wants to go back to. After delaying to open his defense, he then asked the court for 90 days to prepare his defense and now turning around to challenge the jurisdiction of the court that has already began the case. Can people see that this criminal knows he's guilty as charged and he has no defense to put up. Firing his team of lawyers is part of his delay tactics. I hope the judge will give him an ultimatum to conclude his defense within a particular time, if he fails within the time frame, he will be sentenced straight up.
