The trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been relocated to the headquarters of the Department of State Services (DSS) in Abuja.
Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court ordered the relocation, citing the need to inspect a shipping container allegedly used by Kanu to smuggle a radio transmitter into Nigeria. The device was reportedly intended for broadcasts on Radio Biafra, the media arm of the separatist group.
Kanu is currently facing terrorism-related charges linked to his agitation for the secession of Biafra from Nigeria. The move to the DSS facility is expected to provide a secure and controlled environment for the inspection, as part of ongoing legal proceedings.
The decision marks a significant development in the high-profile case, which has drawn national and international attention.
