The Nation Newspaper Nnamdi Kanu files brief of appeal against trial court’s ruling
The leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra , Nnamdi Kanu, has filed his brief of argument against the decision of a Federal High Court in Abuja which dismissed his objection to his trial continuation.
He had alleged that the Department of State Services personnel often seized documents of his lawyers during visitation, stopped his lawyers from taking notes, eavesdropped on his consultation with his lawyers on matters pertaining to his defence, among others.Kanu also alleged that he had not been given adequate time and facilities to defend himself, in accordance with Section 36 of the 1999 Constitution .
Alternatively, he prayed the Appeal Court for the trial court to order an alternative custodial or non-custodial arrangement free of interference with his said constitutional right to fair hearing. Kanu sought a stay of proceedings pending when the respondent affords him the constitutional safeguards of being afforded adequate facilities to prepare for his defence and his unfettered right to counsel.
