Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday ordered security agents to remove the detained IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, from the courtroom as he insisted that judgment should not be delivered in the terrorism case brought against him by the Federal Government.
Kanu repeatedly questioned the court, demanding to know where the law stated he was not entitled to file a written address before judgment.
In response, the court temporarily halted proceedings to allow security operatives to escort him out of the room.
After Kanu’s removal, Justice Omotosho delivered a ruling dismissing the fresh motions Kanu filed after the case was scheduled for judgment.
The court noted that the motions raised issues that had already been addressed previously.
Specifically, the court rejected Kanu’s request to refer the case to the Court of Appeal, citing Section 306 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015, which forbids a stay of proceedings in a criminal matter.
The judge also denied Kanu’s request for bail, noting that some of the points raised in his motions would be considered during the course of the judgment.
