In a dramatic twist, the detained IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, appeared in court today and chose to defend himself, after reportedly sacking his entire legal team.

Eyewitnesses from the courtroom say Kanu, dressed in his usual white attire, spoke confidently as he addressed the judge directly, insisting he would personally handle his case going forward.

The courtroom moment sparked mixed reactions — with supporters hailing his boldness as a sign of strength, while others expressed concern about the implications of facing such a complex case without legal counsel.
