The Prosecutor told newsmen that Kanu refused to come to come Court on November 14, 2022, even when he was asked to appear Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court.

Prosecutor Abubakar said, “My lord, I understand that the defendant declined to come to court today. As of last week, the defendant was intimated of this sitting and he did not object.
