Kanu’s lead counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, revealed his client’s position in a post on X on Tuesday, rejecting the Federal Government’s bid to reopen the trial. Kanu, who is being prosecuted on seven counts of alleged treasonable felony and terrorism, was re-arrested in Kenya in 2021 and extraordinarily rendered to Nigeria. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. At the last court session on September 24, 2024, Kanu requested that Justice Nyako, recuse herself, citing a loss of confidence in her handling of the case.
