He had not been seen since September 22, 2017 when his team of lawyers and family declared him missing after soldiers allegedly invaded his home in Abia State.

However, his co-defendants were produced in court by prison officials for Tuesday’s proceedings.

The treason trial of Biafran separatist leader Nnamdi Kanu resumed on Tuesday but the defendant again failed to turn up in court.

 
The former London estate agent's populist rhetoric has tapped into lingering separatist sentiment for a breakaway state among the Igbo people who dominate the region.
Prosecutor Shuaibu Labaran told the Federal High Court in Abuja that the absence of the head of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) movement was "frustrating the trial".
Judge Binta Nyako ordered the trial of Kanu's three co-defendants without him on March 20 and prosecute him separately.
Kanu, who also runs Radio Biafra, was first arrested in October 2015, sparking a wave of demonstrations calling for his release across southeast Nigeria.
A previous unilateral declaration of independence in 1967 sparked a brutal civil war that lasted 30 months and left at least one million dead from starvation and disease.
Most of them were Igbos.
Kanu was given bail under strict conditions last year but did not appear for the resumption of his trial in October.
He was last seen in September before troops raided his family home in the Abia state capital, Umuahia, during a crackdown on IPOB and its supporters.
Kanu's wife, Uchechi, told the BBC in an interview broadcast on Monday: "I don't know where my husband is, whether he is dead or alive, I don't know."
She and his family maintain he is being held in government custody. The government denies the claim and a civil court has ruled there is no evidence to support the assertion.
Kanu's lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, said the three people who stood surety for his client were expected in court on March 28 to explain why he did not answer his bail.
"(The government) should be in a better position to explain to court where he is," he told reporters outside court. "That is the fact which the sureties are coming to present to the court.
"Nnamdi Kanu never jumped bail and at no point has he indicated interest of not coming to face his trial."  The treason trial of Biafran separatist leader Nnamdi Kanu resumed on Tuesday but the defendant again failed to turn up in court.

Dr. Alex Ekwueme or sending condolence messages over their demise, which it said, confirmed his hatred for Igbos. The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) Monday called former President Olusegun Obasanjo a pathological liar, betrayer and deceiver who hates Igbos.

MASSOB in a statement issued in Abakaliki by its leader, Comrade Uchenna Madu attacked Obasanjo for not attending the burials of the two Igbo elder statesmen – Late Odumegwu Ojukwu and Dr. Alex Ekwueme or sending condolence messages over their demise, which it said, confirmed his hatred for Igbos. The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra

(MASSOB) Monday called former President Olusegun Obasanjo a pathological liar, betrayer and deceiver who hates Igbos.
The statement reads: “Obasanjo knows the truth that General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu was right in all his activities that involved Biafra, he knows the truth that Ndigbo were schemed out of political reality in Nigeria,
Obasanjo knows this truth that he hates Biafra and her people, he also knows the truth that all his dealings with Ndigbo are all camouflaged and hypocritical.

Olusegun Obasanjo openly without shame proved his pathological hatred and sadisms on Ndigbo when Eze Igbo Gburugburu died, Obasanjo did not attend the burial of Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and he did not send condolence.

He always sees Ojukwu as his enemy even in death and whosoever that hates Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu hates Ndigbo; such a person can never be a friend to the people of Biafra, Ndigbo can never enter into alliance with such a hater.  “Again, Olusegun Obasanjo did not attend the burial of Dr Alex Ekwueme, former vice president of Nigeria, his absence during the week-long national burial of most distinguished national leader again proved his pathological hatred of Ndigbo. Obasanjo hates everything concerning Ndigbo.”

Uchechi said, “The IPOB people are not sleeping. The army is going to tell them where their leader is. Keeping Nnamdi Kanu does not mean that IPOB is asleep,” Uchechi said.

Uchechi said, “The IPOB people are not sleeping. The army is going to tell them where their leader is. Keeping Nnamdi Kanu does not mean that IPOB is asleep,” Uchechi said.
“I don’t know where my husband is. If he is dead or alive, I don’t know. People that are supposed to answer these questions are the army.

Insisting that she is not aware of Kanu’s whereabouts, Uchechi told BBC Igbo that she is not also aware if her husband was dead or alive.

She stated that the last time she spoke with Kanu was when soldiers invaded his residence in Umuahia, Abia State last year.
Wife of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Uchechi, has spoken out on the whereabouts of her husband.
Ucheche, who is based in London has maintained that her husband is in the custody of the Nigerian Army.
“The last time I saw him was when the army came to shoot in our house. He called me and asked if I was hearing the gunshots. I heard the gunshots and started shouting and asked him what was wrong.
“He said they are shooting and he is inside the house. That was the last time we spoke.”

Buhari’s Govt has become looting business centre -ADP

 
The Action Democratic Party (ADP) has described the news of a snake swallowing a whooping sum of 36 Million Naira from the office of the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) as a huge joke and says that this has further solidified the party’s position on the looting business on-going in Buhari’s government.
The Party in a statement issued by the ADP Lagos State Publicity Secretary, Prince Adelaja Adeoye, said that the news stating that a mystery snake sneaked into the accounts office of JAMB in Makurdi, the Benue State capital and made away with 36 million naira cash is preposterous and this has further exposed to all Nigerians how corruption is thriving in a Buhari govt that claims to be fighting it.  ADP said, officials in ministries, department and agencies in the Buhari government have devised means of stealing in millions since top officials have continually gone scot free whenever their corruption cases are exposed. The party said that grand looting has become a norm under the current administration. The party strongly also condemns the increment of tolls in Lagos along the Lekki-Epe Expressway and the Ikoyi link bridge, saying that Lagosians have had enough of the daylight robbery by the APC led government in the state. The party said that APC is pushing Lagosians and Nigerians to the limit and the assumption that Nigerians cannot act will give them a shocker in 2019. ADP however calls on Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to look into toll charges and immediately reverse the increment because it is wrong for the Lagos state government to give backing to a private Lekki Concession Company to exploit Lagosians. The party said that it has come to stay in the state and the opaque nature of governance run in Lagos state since 1999 will be exposed while in the same vein urging Lagosians to join ADP which is poised to deliver governance to ever expanding population of Lagos. The party enjoins all Nigerians to obtain their PVCs because that is their power to bring about real change come 2019.
