Separatist’s trial heads toward near-certain conviction
Cape Argus
|November 05, 2025
THE years-long legal drama of Nigerian separatist leader Nnamdi Kanu, expected to resume yesterday, is devolving into an almost certain conviction after he fired his defence lawyers, to the exasperation of the judge.
-
Kanu, leader of the banned group the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has long advocated for the independence of southeastern Nigeria, alleging the mistreatment of the Igbo ethnic group.
Its a contentious issue in Nigeria, which fought a brutal civil war from 1967 to 1970 over the secession of the self-declared Republic of Biafra.
