Nnamdi Kanu Pleads Not Guilty to Terrorism and Treason Charges in Abuja Court
Nnamdi Kanu, the embattled leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has pleaded not guilty to a seven-count charge of terrorism and treasonable felony.
Kanu was arraigned on Friday before Justice James Omotosho at the Federal High Court in Abuja, where he firmly denied the allegations levelled against him. His trial, which has drawn significant national and international attention, marks another chapter in the long-standing legal and political battle surrounding his pro-Biafra activism.
Security was heightened around the court premises as supporters and legal representatives awaited the proceedings. The Nigerian government has accused Kanu of inciting unrest and endangering national security, but his legal team insists the charges are politically motivated.
