Nnamdi Kanu: Defence team makes a U-turn on Orji Kalu’s summons

The defence team of the leader of the Indigenous People of
Biafra, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, has dropped its push to have a former
Governor of Abia State Orji Kalu appear before the Federal High
Court in Abuja and testify about the whereabouts of the Biafran
activist.

This, it was learnt, was due to Kanu’s surprised emergence in an
online video clip reportedly showing him praying in Israel.

The Federal Government was prosecuting Kanu and others on
charges of treasonable felony at the Federal High Court in Abuja
before he became missing since September 14, 2017 following a
military invasion of his home in Afara-Ukwu in Umuahia, Abia
State.

Kanu’s lead counsel, Mr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, had caused the court
to summon the former governor for claiming that the IPOB leader had
escaped to the United Kingdom after the military invasion.

Kalu’s claim was in contrary to Ejiofor-led legal team’s belief
that the IPOB leader was either abducted or killed by soldiers
during the military operation.
