The new judge of the Federal High Court in Abuja to whom the treason trial of self-acclaimed leader of proscribed the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, was assigned has fixed March 21 for the commencement of hearing in the case.
Report says hearing notices have been issued and dispatched to parties in the case.
It was also gathered that Kanu will appear before Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja and other necessary documents have since been transferred to Justice Omotosho’s court, paving the way for the issuance of the hearing notices.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Kanu is expected to be re-arraigned for the remaining seven counts in the treason charge preferred against him by the Federal Government.
Speaking with newsmen Kanu’s lead Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, said the legal team is primed and ready.
