Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has disclosed that some of his witnesses will be coming from Ethiopia, Kenya and the United States.

Kanu disclosed this to Justice James Omotosho of an Abuja Federal High Court on Friday.

This comes as Kanu, in a motion filed on October 21, listed the names of prominent Nigerians and foreigners he intended to call as witnesses to defend himself.

Kanu, in the application he personally signed, informed the court of his plan to call a total of 23 witnesses divided into two categories.

The first category, he said, would be those he called “ordinary but material witnesses”.

He further informed the court that his second category of witnesses would be “vital and compellable” and shall be “summoned under Section 232 of the Evidence Act, 2011″.

He prayed the court that, in view of the number of witnesses he intended to call, the court should consider granting a 90-day time frame to enable him to conclude his defence.

After filing the motion, Kanu had disengaged his defence lawyers while opting to defend himself in the ongoing trial.
