Photos: Kanu in Court, as his ‘Stay of Proceedings’ application is dismissed

Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB and Director of Radio Biafra, being arraigned in Court on Tuesday, April 26, 2016.

A federal high court sitting in Abuja, on Tuesday, dismissed the application of  leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, seeking a stay of proceedings pending determination of his appeal.

Kanu had approached the appellate court challenging the earlier decision of the court upholding the prosecution’s request to shield their witnesses from members of the public during trial.

The judge, Justice John Tsoho, held that the application for stay of proceedings lacked merit and ordered that the trial would proceed in the mode earlier directed by the court.
