Judge Expels Kanu from courtroom
As the court prepared to deliver judgment, Kanu objected, insisting he had not filed his final written address.
Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court this morning, ordered Nnamdi Kanu out of the courtroom for unruly behaviour midway through Thursday’s proceedings.
The trial judge is set to deliver judgment in a case spanning ten years.
The judge had earlier dismissed three fresh motions filed by Kanu, ruling them unmeritorious.
As the court prepared to deliver judgment, Kanu objected, insisting he had not filed his final written address.
He raised his voice, accused the judge of bias, and declared that the court “did not know the law.”
Following the outburst, security operatives escorted Kanu from the courtroom. Justice Omotosho is now set to proceed with reading the final judgment in the long‑running terrorism case.
A serious accident on Thursday morning caused heavy traffic at the Otedola Bridge, just before the Lagos State Secretariat, leaving hundreds of commuters stranded.
The gridlock has severely slowed movement, disrupting the morning rush as motorists struggle to navigate the heavily congested route.
As of now, no emergency team has arrived at the scene to manage the situation or restore traffic flow.
