LunagisthubLive Judgment Today: Nnamdi Kanu’s Terrorism Trial to Be Broadcast Nationwide
The Federal High Court in Abuja is set to deliver its verdict in the high-profile terrorism trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), on live television today, November 20, 2025. The court registrar has confirmed the development, and cameramen from various television stations are already in the courtroom to capture the proceedings .
Nnamdi Kanu has been standing trial since 2015 on charges of terrorism-related offenses, stemming from his alleged involvement in the secessionist movement in the Southeast region of Nigeria. The IPOB leader has denied wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty to the charges .
Justice James Omotosho fixed the date for judgment after Kanu’s defense was foreclosed following his insistence that he would not enter his defense under a repealed law. The judge held that Kanu had waived his right to defend himself, having exhausted the six days allocated to him by the court to conduct his defense .
The judgment is expected to have significant implications for the IPOB leader and the Southeast region. The case has been ongoing for over 10 years, and the outcome will likely have far-reaching consequences for the region’s stability and security
