BREAKING: Federal High Court to Deliver Judgment in Nnamdi Kanu Terrorism Trial on November 20

The prolonged and highly consequential legal battle involving the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, is set to reach a critical juncture.

Today, November 20, 2025, the Federal High Court in Abuja is scheduled to deliver its final judgment in the case between Kanu and the Federal Government of Nigeria.

Kanu is currently facing a set of severe charges, including terrorism and treasonable felony, stemming from his activities as the figurehead of the proscribed separatist group.

The looming verdict, which follows a drawn-out series of proceedings, legal arguments, and adjournments, has generated immense public attention both domestically and internationally. Security is expected to be significantly heightened around the court premises in anticipation of the ruling.

Regardless of the outcome whether the court orders his release, upholds a no-case submission, or moves to begin his defense on the remaining charges—the judgment is certain to have profound implications for Nigerian politics, the future of the Biafra agitation, and the nation's judicial landscape.
