Justice James Omotosho will announce his decision regarding Nnamdi Kanu's terrorism charges on Friday, September 26. The Indigenous People of Biafra leader awaits the court's determination on whether prosecutors established sufficient evidence against him. Officials moved the ruling date forward from October 10 after completing their review. The Federal High Court in Abuja received notice through both legal teams.
Defense attorney Godwin Kanu Agabi requested dismissal of all charges against his client in July. The senior counsel argued that government witnesses failed to demonstrate any connection between Kanu and violent activities. Five Department of State Services operatives testified but only confirmed taking statements from the defendant. Prosecutors amended charges eight times without providing testimony linking Kanu to terrorism incidents.
Government prosecutor Chief Adegboyega Awomolo contested the defense motion before Justice Omotosho. The federal representative claimed Kanu's radio broadcasts represented genuine threats to national security rather than empty rhetoric.
