The leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has started a fresh battle for his bail in the terrorism charges brought against him by the federal government.
The motion for bail dated February 5, 2024 is being handled by Alloy Ekimakor on behalf of Kanu.
However, the federal government counsel, Chief Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN) confirmed receipt of the motion for bail.
The federal government engaged the services of a legal luminary, Chief Adegboyega Awomolo to lead its legal team in the prosecution of treasonable felony charges it brought against Nnamdi Kanu.
Awomolo is taken over from David Kaswe (SAN) from the Federal Ministry of Justice in Abuja who has been handling the case for the federal government.
In the same vein, Nnamdi Kanu charged with terrorism offences by the Federal Government has engaged new lawyers for his defense.
A new team of lawyers led by PAM Ejiofor and Alloy Ejimakor took over Kanu’s defense in the seven-count charges.
No reason was adduced for the change in the legal team being led before now by Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN) and Ifeanyi Ejiofor.
