BREAKING: More trouble for IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu as court threatens to adjourn his trial indefinitely
He said the defence did not deny they were allowed access to their client.
“We have before your lordship signatures and names of all the counsel who have visited him,” he said.
He also mentioned that the court had the discretion to remand Kanu in a safe and secure place.
The lawyer argued that the defence team wanted an executive and insecure place to keep Kanu.
The judge, who fixed May 20 for ruling on the two applications, directed the prosecution to call their witness.
Awomolo, who had already notified the court that they had a witness in court, said he was ready to proceed. But Ejimakor insisted they were not ready to proceed with the trial.
“We have not prepared our client for trial,” he said, adding that no lawyer would allow a trial when section 36(6) of the constitution had not been respected.
However, the judge threatened to adjourn the trial sine die (indefinitely) if Ejimakor insisted that it should not continue.
Ejimakor then applied for a stand-down to consult with Kanu and the other lawyers about whether the trial could continue, and the judge stood the matter down for 10 minutes.
