The Nigerian government, led by President Bola Tinubu, is awaiting the court's decision on the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Mrs Chioma Wesley, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Community Engagement (South-East), stated that the President will not make any pronouncement on the ongoing trial, emphasizing respect for the judicial process ¹ ² ³.
Kanu's trial has sparked controversy, with allegations that the government is conspiring to sentence him to death or life imprisonment. The IPOB leader's lawyers argue that the charges against him are based on a repealed law, and his detention has been deemed unlawful by some court rulings ⁴ ⁵ ⁶.
The court is expected to deliver its judgment on November 20, 2025.
