The Federal High Court in Abuja has ruled that the Department of State Services (DSS) medical facility is adequate to meet the health needs of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The court also directed Kanu to conclude his defence by October 30, 2025.
Kanu’s lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, confirmed the ruling on X, noting that the judge found the DSS facility suitable and adjourned the case to October 23 for the commencement of Kanu’s defence.
Kanu faces terrorism-related charges filed by the Federal Government, with his trial continuing to attract local and international attention.
