Justice Omotosho orders the trial of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra Nnamdi Kanu Continue in his absence

Justice Omotosho gave the order following a brief of remarks by the prosecution Counsel, Adegboyega Awomolo after what he called unruly behavior of Kanu in court this morning.

Recall that Nnamdi Kanu at the resumed trial of the matter this morning raised objections against the judgement to be delivered by Justice Omotosho.

Kanu in the course of the trial interrupted the proceeding severally, a development that forced the presiding judge to stand down the matter and ordered Kanu to excuse the court.

At the resumed sitting, Awomolo while addressing the court described the attitude of the accused person as unruly and unbecoming thereby asked the court to continue the trial in his absence.

In his short ruling, Justice Omotosho noted that Kanu has abused the privilege and granted to him by the court.

He thereby ruled that the trial will continue in his absence.

As of the time of this report, the judgement in the Terrorism Charges against Nnamdi Kanu is underway while Kanu has been taken out of the court.

Just In: SMART SCHOOL OR SMART LOOTING? ANOTHER RECEIPT FROM IGBERE

This image is Elu-Okwe Primary School in Amaukwu Igbere, Bende LGA—a living, breathing school, not a rumour or propaganda. Yet the Abia State Government claimed it was demolished because it had been awarded for upgrade to a smart school. Today, no smart school exists. The roof is failing, classrooms leak, and pupils still run for cover whenever it rains. Despite community appeals for urgent renovation, intervention was halted on the grounds that the project had been “awarded.” Months later, nothing has happened. This raises serious questions about the state’s claim of spending ₦100 billion on public school repairs. Smart schools do not disappear, and infrastructure does not exist only on paper. Abia people are no longer asking for explanations—they are demanding results. Where are the smart schools?

Just In: Press Release From the Office of the Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives

The Office of the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives has dismissed as false and misleading the Abia State Government’s claims concerning infrastructure projects attracted by Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu. The office clarified that the land along the Umuahia–Bende Road was communally donated, not allocated by the state government, and described allegations of unauthorized demolition of school facilities as baseless. It further accused the Otti administration of deliberate propaganda aimed at undermining genuine development efforts, while reaffirming the Deputy Speaker’s commitment to attracting critical infrastructure to Abia State in the interest of the people.
