Whether Nnamdi Kanu has a case to answer regarding the terrorism charges filed against him by the federal government will be decided by the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on November 20.
Trial judge Justice James Omotosho okayed the matter for judgement after Kanu failed to open his defence to the charge within the six-day period given him by the court.

Instead of opening his defence, Kanu, on Friday, filed a motion wherein he challenged the competence of the charge and the jurisdiction of the court to try him.
The court had initially stood down the case for one hour, after the defendant who is representing himself after he disengaged his lawyers, indicated his intention to file his defence.
However, in the process he filed, Kanu insisted that his prosecution was based on a non-existent law.

He told the court that the law under which he is being prosecuted has been repealed and no longer exists.
