The Federal High Court in Abuja has directed the the Federal Government prosecution team led by Chief Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN to serve the defence team to the leader of the Indigenous People of Baifra, Nnamdi Kanu, led by Kanu Agabi, SAN all relevant documents, materials and videos intended for trial before being tendered as evidence in court.

Justice James Omotosho gave the order while delivering a ruling in the ongoing trial of the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu,

GALAXY TV reports that at the resumed hearing on Tuesday, the court took a firm stance on trial procedures following confusion over legal representation and tension surrounding courtroom conduct.

According to Justice Omotosho, a letter from one Charles Ude, claiming to be Kanu’s lawyer, necessitated his concern.

Ruling on the issue, the court ordered that all materials intended for trial must be served in advance and listed properly, stressing that no document would be admitted unless previously disclosed to the defence.

However, the lead defence counsel, Chief Kanu Agabi, SAN, and Alloy Ejimakor while disassociating the team from Ude’s claim insisted they don't know him.

Confirming further, Kanu at the proceedings affirmed that Agabi remains his official legal representative.

However, in a bid to maintain order, the presiding judge stressed that only 16 counsel out of the 29 listed would be recognised in court.

At the resumed cross-examination of the first prosecution witness (Pawn), identified as AAA by Agabi, the witness admitted to being unaware that several terrorism charges against Kanu had been struck out by the court.

He also denied knowledge of the current status of many of the original 15-count charges.

Counsel to the Federal Government spoke on the day's proceedings.
