Following heated arguments over Court jurisdiction, an angry Justice Mobolaji Omotosho of the Federal High Court on Thursday, ordered that Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, be bundled out of his courtroom.
The IPOB Leader who
was brought to court ahead of the scheduled judgment, insisted that the Federal High Court lacked the authority to try him.
He had said, “My contention is very simple: this Court lacks jurisdiction to try me”, he stated.
Reading from his motion, he argued that no judgment should be delivered since he had already filed processes at the Court of Appeal.
The prosecution team countered his argument, urging the court to dismiss all the defence applications.
“We appeal to your lordship to dismiss all the applications as they lack merit and do not deserve consideration,” the prosecution lawyer submitted.
Proceedings were briefly disrupted before the Judge ordered that Kanu be taken out of the courtroom, allowing the court to continue with its processes.
