Nigeria separatist leader’s trial adjourned
The trial of the Nigerian separatist leader, Nnamdi Kanu, has been adjourned until Wednesday after the state filed new charges.
Mr Kanu has in the past pleaded not guilty to seven charges including terrorism and treason.
He heads the Indigenous People of Biafra (Ipob), which the government says was behind a string of attacks last year on police stations and government offices in the south-east of Nigeria.
The group denies any involvement in the violence. His lawyer described the amended charge sheet as an abuse of the legal process designed to delay the trial and keep his client in in detention.
