Biafra: Kanu arrives court for “closed trial” amidst tight security (PHOTOS INCLUDED)

 Justice Binta Nyako has warned security agencies against sensationalising the trial of leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu and three others facing treasonable charges.

Kanu was arraigned at the Federal High Court in Abuja on charges of conspiracy, treasonable felony and unlawful possession of firearms alongside Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi.

Defence counsels also complained of excessive profiling by security agencies.               A combined team of fully armed DSS, Mobile Police, and Prisons personnel, tanks and trained dogs were deployed during the hearing.
