Nnamdi Kanu 3.webp
The Digest:

The terrorism trial of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu has been postponed to October 16, 2025, due to the absence of a crucial medical report.

Key Points:
  • Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja adjourned the case.
  • The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) failed to present its report on Kanu's health status as ordered.
  • The court had mandated an NMA board to investigate his alleged deteriorating health.
  • The report will determine if the DSS facility can treat him or if he should be moved to the National Hospital.
  • The DSS lawyer applied for a one-week adjournment, which was unopposed.
  • The court has set the new date for the medical board to submit its findings.
  • The outcome will directly influence the future course of the high-profile trial.
This delay prolongs a case that remains a focal point of significant legal and political tension in Nigeria.
