The Federal High Court in Abuja has okayed the Department of State Services (DSS) medical facility for Nnamdi Kanu’s treatment. The court also directed the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to conclude his defence by 30th October.
Aloy Ejimakor, one of Kanu’s lawyers, revealed on X that the judge ruled the DSS medical facility is suitable for his medical care. The court adjourned the ongoing trial to 23rd October 2025 for the commencement of Kanu’s defence.
“MAZI NNAMDI KANU’s case has just been adjourned to 23rd October 2025 for ‘commencement of his defence’. The Judge further held that the DSS medical facility is adequate for his medical care and that MNK has until 30th October to close his defense,” Ejimakor said.
Kanu is currently standing trial on alleged terrorism offences filed against him by the federal government.
