Fresh Twist In Nnamdi Kanu’s Case As Court Orders Secret Trial

The Chief Judge of the Federal High Court (FHC) in Abuja, Justice John Tsoho, has released a new practice direction for the trial of terrorism suits before the Court, such as the case of Nnamdi Kanu.
Justice Tsoho stated that the new practice direction is in the exercise of his constitutional powers as contained in Section 254 of the Constitution of Nigeria 1999 (as amended).
Under the new arrangement, the court said media coverage of proceedings is strictly prohibited, “except as may be directed by the court.”
Kanu is expected to appear in court tomorrow, Friday, in continuation of his trial and the new order will take effect immediately.
