The trial of Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, is scheduled to resume today, Tuesday October 17th, before the Federal High Court in Abuja. The sitting will be the court’s first after Justice Binta Nyako granted bail to Kanu on April 25. But Nnamdi Kanu’s lead defence lawyer, Mr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has said his client remains missing. And the matter would not continue if the Federal Government fails to produce him in court. In an interview with Punch’s correspondent on Sunday, Ejiofor insisted that Kanu was still in the custody of the Federal Government and if not produced in court on Tuesday, the trial would not continue. “On Tuesday, if the Federal Government fails to produce him in court, then the trial will not go on. It is simple. We have asked them to produce him in court because he is in their custody,” the lawyer said. Ejiofor had, on September 27, led other lawyers to file an originating motion, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/908/2017, before the Federal High Court in Abuja, praying for an order directing the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, to produce Kanu in court. Punchng.com reports that the lawyers claimed that soldiers on September 14 invaded the IPOB leader’s house “on a murderous raid, where live and mortar bullets were fired on unarmed and defenceless populace, leaving 28 persons dead and abducting many. “It is either the respondent’s rampaging soldiers abducted the applicant during this raid or they must have killed him in the process,” part of the grounds of the motion read

New details are emerging from dozens of police reports and witness statements in the case of Kenneka Jenkins.



They include she was found by a hotel worker lying face down on her side. She had one shoe off and no signs of trauma, except for a small cut on her foot.CBS Chigago reports.



At first, the Crowne Plaza O’Hare Hotel in Rosemont only checked exit and entrance surveillance and looked at the hallways afterwards.



The kitchen she entered had a motion activated camera which had not turned on for weeks until her body was discovered.
Her mother said no to police twice when they offered to analyze Kenneka’s cellphone. Friends at the party later received death threats.



Police also based some questions to witness on tips from social media. One included a theory that Kenneka was killed by a gang for $200. When a friend was asked about a reference to $200 in a Facebook Live video, the friend said it was the fine amount for illegally parking in the hotel lot.



The medical examiner’s office said epilepsy medication and alcohol played a role in her death, which was caused by hypothermia. Jenkins’ mother has said the teen was not prescribed any medication.
