Lead counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, Kanu Agabi, has filed to withdraw from representing the detained IPOB leader, explaining that the defendant has reclaimed control of his case from the legal team.
All the Senior Advocates of Nigeria on the defence team have also withdrawn from the suit, a development Nnamdi Kanu himself confirmed in court.
Kanu told the court that he would be representing himself for now, though that might change later. When the judge asked if he should be assigned a lawyer, he declined the offer.
Defending himself orally, Kanu argued that the court lacked the jurisdiction to try him.
