The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has stated that international observers would monitor the court trial of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
The case is expected to come up on January 10, 2017.
In a statement made available by IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, the group said among those that would observe the court session in Abuja are International Human Rights Groups, International Media organisations, and other foreign observers.
“All Indigenous People of Biafra family members are expected to be in Abuja on that day 10th of January 2017.
“Therefore, we are expecting the entire members of the Indigenous People of Biafra and Biafrans that reside in Abuja and its environs to be in court on that fateful day in Abuja to witness the court proceedings of the case between our leader and Muhammadu Buhari”, the statement noted.
Ealier, the group had strongly kicked against the plan by the federal government to secretly try its leader, Kanu.
