Nnamdi Kanu’s US Lawyer To Petition ICC Over ‘Rights Abuses’, Says Nigerian Courts Compromised
Segun Akanni, Toronto, Canada 
A Nigerian judge on Wednesday adjourned the treason trial of separatist leader Nnamdi Kanu until January after his lead lawyer walked out of court because security agents refused other defence lawyers into the courtroom.
Bruce Fein, the American lawyer of Nnamdi Kanu, also threatened to drag Nigeria before the International Criminal Court (ICC) over alleged gross violation of his client’s rights.
At his last court appearance last month, Kanu, a British citizen, pleaded not guilty to seven charges, which included terrorism, calling for secession and knowingly falsehoods about President Muhammadu Buhari, and membership of an outlawed group. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Kanu’s lead lawyer had planned to ask the court to dismiss the charges, saying they were incompetent.
