Following Nnamdi Kanu’s trial in a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Tuesday, it has been reported that the Court has adjourned further proceedings till Wednesday.
According to reports, the adjournment was due to Kanu’s complaint that the Federal Government failed to promptly serve him the fresh 15 amended charges it brought before the court.
This was made known through his team lawyers, led by Chief Mike Ozekhome.
Ozekhome stated that, “My Lord, the proposed amended charges were served on us yesterday (Monday) evening. As I speak to you my lord, the defendant, who was just brought in, has not even seen the charges which he is being told to enter his plea.”
He noted that, “With due respect, that is not justice. It is ambushing. I know that the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, allows FG to amend, but this is the sixth amendment they are making, and each time they do it, they serve us a day to the hearing, just to frustrate the trial.”
