He is being arraigned for treason charges and other offences bordering on his agitation for the secession of the Republic of Biafra from Nigeria.

He is being arraigned along with two others – Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi – before Justice James Tsoho.

Earlier on December 23, 2015, when Kanu and the two co-accused were produced in court for arraignment, the IPOB leader refused to take his plea due to what he called his lack of confidence in the presiding judge, Justice Ahmed Mohammed.

Justice Mohammed had then returned the case file to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court who thereafter re-assigned the case to Justice Tsoho.
