Nnamdi Kanu, the embattled leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, was on Tuesday brought to court by security operatives amidst heavy security amid continuation of his trial.
The IPOB leader was brought into the court premises by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) around 9.50am.
He arrived in court wearing a white designer outfit.
Kanu is standing trial before Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja based on charges related to treasonable felony and acts of terrorism brought against him by the federal government of Nigeria.

In June, Kanu was arrested and brought to Nigeria to face trial after he jumped bail in 2017 — he has been in DSS custody ever since.
The IPOB leader will now be re-arraigned on a seven-count charge as against the five counts he was previously answering to, bordering on treasonable felony and terrorism.
Meanwhile, a British envoy in Nigeria was reportedly at the federal high court in Abuja for the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), last month.
This is even as Tariq Ahmad, junior minister at Britain’s foreign office, had said the UK asked Nigeria to explain how Kanu was arrested.
