POLITICS NIGERIA recalls that in July, the President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Professor George Obiozor, appointed Ezeife to lead the Ohanaeze delegation to the trial of Kanu.

It was learnt that the National Legal Adviser, Bar Joseph Ojobu and Chief Goddy Uwazurike, are the lawyers representing Ohanaeze on a watching brief.

The court sits today in Abuja.

The Federal High Court, Abuja, had three weeks ago fixed November 10, 2021, to hear an application filed by Kanu challenging the competence of the treasonable felony charges filed against him by the Federal Government.

He also asked the judge, Binta Nyako, to dismiss the newly-amended charges of seven counts.

Kanu was charged with terrorism, treason and perpetuation of falsehoods against President Muhammadu Buhari, mainly through broadcasts on the controversial Radio Biafra outlet and also through social media.

He had pleaded not guilty during his last trial on October 21, 2021.
