A Federal High Court in Abuja has held that Nnamdi Kanu has a case to answer in the terrorism charges brought against him, rejecting his defence’s attempt to have the matter dismissed at the close of the prosecution’s case. The prosecution had presented five witnesses and tendered several exhibits, including video and audio materials, which the court deemed sufficiently met the threshold for calling on him to enter his defence.
Justice James Omotosho, in his ruling, rejected Nnamdi Kanu’s application to be transferred to the National Hospital, Abuja, for medical treatment. Instead, he ordered that the President of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) constitute a medical committee within 8 days to inspect the DSS medical facility, examine whether Kanu’s health needs can be met there, and assess whether transfer to the National Hospital is necessary.
