The court, presided over by Justice Binta Nyako, also directed Kanu to conclude his defence on or before October 30, 2025.
Kanu’s counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, revealed the update in a post on X (formerly Twitter), stating that the court has fixed October 23, 2025, for the commencement of Kanu’s defence in the ongoing terrorism trial.
“MAZI NNAMDI KANU’s case has just been adjourned to 23rd October 2025 for commencement of his defence. The Judge further held that the DSS medical facility is adequate for his medical care and that MNK has until 30th October to close his defence,” Ejimakor stated.
Kanu is currently facing trial on terrorism-related charges brought against him by the Federal Government. He remains in the custody of the DSS while his legal team continues to push for his release and fair trial.
