FCT, Abuja - Trial justice, James Omotosho of the federal high court, Abuja, has ordered security agents to take Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), out of the courtroom.
As reported by Vanguard on Thursday morning, November 20, 2025, Kanu insisted that judgment would not be delivered in the terrorism charge the federal government entered against him.

Following Kanu’s repeated shouts that the trial judge must show him where it was written in the Nigerian law that he was not entitled to file a written address in the case against him, the court temporarily halted its proceedings to enable security operatives to take him out of the room.
The video of the disagreement trended on social media platforms, especially X (formerly Twitter).
