Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has pleaded not guilty to new terrorism charges lodged against him by the federal government in the Federal High Court in Abuja, as reported by Gistreel. During re-arraignment on Friday, Kanu was accused of: Engaging in terrorism acts Running an unlawful radio station Calling for Nigeria’s dissolution The federal government’s lead counsel, Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN), expressed his willingness to prosecute the case and applied for an adjournment to get witnesses ready for a speed-up hearing. The defense counsel to Kanu, Kanu Agabi (SAN), did not oppose the application. Therefore, Justice James Omotosho adjourned the trial to April 29, May 2, and May 6, 2025. Unlike during his court appearance on February 10—where he lashed out at the trial—Kanu was composed this time. Through his lawyer, Agabi (SAN), he made a public apology to key legal actors in his matter. “I hereby apologise to Justice Binta Nyako; she did not deserve the unjustified attack. I also apologise to Chief Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN); he deserves the highest respect,” the apology stated. Kanu had previously objected to being tried by Justice Binta Nyako, who had initially been withdrawn from the case on September 24, 2024, before being reinstated later. The objection led to Chief Judge John Tsoho reassigned the case to Justice Omotosho on March 4, 2025.

The Foundation for Peace Professionals (PeacePro) has called on members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to lay down their arms and embrace peaceful dialogue with the federal government. In a statement commemorating the 53rd anniversary of Biafra’s surrender on January 13, 1970, PeacePro urged IPOB to honor the historic peace agreement that prioritized reconciliation and national unity. The statement, signed by PeacePro’s Executive Director, Abdulrazaq Hamsat, was released in Ilorin, Kwara State, on Wednesday. The group highlighted that IPOB’s violent actions contradict the peaceful resolution embraced by Biafran leaders over five decades ago. It reminded IPOB of the federal government’s declaration of “No Victor, No Vanquished,” which laid the foundation for rebuilding and reintegration after the civil war. “The continued pursuit of violence by IPOB dishonors the memory of those who chose peace to stop further bloodshed in the South East during the Biafra war,” the statement read. PeacePro also criticized demands for the unconditional release of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu without a commitment to peace, describing such calls as counterproductive to stability and progress. “True peace and progress require acknowledgment of mistakes and a change in approach. IPOB’s violent activities have resulted in the loss of hundreds of lives and devastated the South-East economy,” the group noted. The organization emphasized that sustainable peace can only be achieved through non-violent advocacy, dialogue, and adherence to democratic principles, urging IPOB to align with these values to foster progress and unity in the region.
