    Court Grants Nnamdi Kanu Final Chance to Enter Defence or Forfeit Right

    *Cautions ex-lawyers turned consultants over conduct

    The Federal High Court in Abuja has granted the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, a final opportunity to enter his defence in his ongoing terrorism trial, warning that failure to do so would mean forfeiting that right.

    Justice James Omotosho, presiding over the matter on Wednesday, emphasized that while the court had already given Kanu multiple chances to present his case, it remained the duty of the court to ensure he is not denied a fair opportunity to defend himself.

    “We had adjourned till today for the defendant to put in his defence or be deemed closed,” the judge said. “But I am bound to give him another opportunity. If he does not, I will deem him closed. I know that he is an economist and not a lawyer, so I will give him this last opportunity.”

    The judge subsequently adjourned the matter until November 7, stressing that Kanu’s failure to proceed with his defence on that date would be interpreted as his decision to forfeit it.

    Earlier, the prosecution counsel, Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN), had urged the court to foreclose the defence after Kanu failed to utilize five out of the six days earlier allocated for him to present his case. Awomolo noted that the court had on Tuesday warned Kanu to open his defence or risk being deemed to have waived his right, but he still declined to proceed.

    At Wednesday’s proceedings, Kanu, who represented himself, maintained that he would not enter any defence, insisting there was no valid charge against him.

    Meanwhile, Justice Omotosho also cautioned Kanu’s former lawyers, P. A. N. Ejiofor, Aloy Ejimakor, Dr. Maxwell Opara, and Prince Mandela Umegburu, who now describe themselves as his consultants, to adhere strictly to the ethics of the legal profession.

    The warning followed complaints by the prosecution that the lawyers had been granting media interviews and making social media posts relating to the ongoing case.

    The four lawyers, who were present in court, introduced themselves as Kanu’s consultants.

    The trial continues on November 7, when Kanu is expected to either open his defence or have the case deemed closed for judgment.

    Enugu Community Protests Alleged Land Grabbing By Firm

    Gideon Arinze in Enugu

    Residents of Ugwuto Nsude, a community in Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State have staged a protest over allegations of land grabbing by a company, Enpower Energy Ltd.

    The angry villagers, consisting of elderly men, women, youths and children marched through the community’s civic centre yesterday, carrying placards with such inscriptions as “We Say No To Land Grabbers”, Enpower Leave Our Land Alone”, “Enugu Governor, Peter Mbah Save Us From Land Grabbers”.

    Addressing journalists during the protest, an elder in the Community, Vincent Ukwuani, alleged that the plot by Enpower Energy Ltd to unlawfully take over their land began as far back as 2019.

    He explained that although the case was already in court, the management of the company has continued to encroach on their land with impunity.

    “The people called Enpower came to our land without authorization and began to destroy our crops. They came with a bulldozer. The land is called “Ugwuto Land” and the invasion on the land started six years ago. We reported the matter to the state government and there was no response,” he alleged.

    The community also accused the company of intimidation and harassment, with some members reportedly threatened and arrested by the police.

    “The land was approved by the government, there is the master plan and survey plan,” said Emeka Ozochi, a resident. “All the fees needed to be paid were paid by our community to the government of Enugu State,”.

    The community urged Governor Peter Mbah to intervene in the alleged land grabbing attempts, adding that the community was prepared to fight and protect their land.

    In his reaction, Ricky Agu, a representative of the firm, said that the allegation of land grabbing was untrue, adding that the government had acquired the land and used it as their own equity to attract investments.

    “There’s a tripartite agreement between the state government and Enpower Energy Ltd and Oildata Integrated Construction Company, which was signed in 2009,” he said. “The agreement says that the Enugu State government intends to develop a private public sector partnership for the attraction of investment into Enugu,”.

    He explained that the joint venture will pay to the community whatever equity is due them, as they arr a co-owner of Enpower.
