Chaos in court as Nnamdi Kanu rejects secret trial

Justice Binta Nyako of a Federal High Court in Abuja, this morning reportedly stormed out of the Federal High Court Abuja following the refusal of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, to be tried secretly.

Kanu who is standing trial for treasonable offences, vehemently refused an application by the Federal government that the witnesses to testify against him should be protected.

This reportedly caused chaos in the court which led to the presiding judge leaving the court abruptly. Meanwhile his supporters were outside the court premises, drumming support for him.
