Agabi, a former Senator and two-time AGF, is expected to lead Kanu’s legal team, which is currently headed by IPOB’s Special Counsel, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, according to a source close to the case. The source confirmed to SaharaReporters that Kanu has retained his existing legal team, including Maxwell Opara and Nnaemeka Ejiofor, ensuring a strong defense strategy as his trial resumes.

Kanu, who was controversially extradited from Kenya in June 2021, remains in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS). His next court appearance is scheduled for Friday, March 21, before Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court 7 in Abuja.

These developments follow a judicial reshuffle in Kanu’s case. The trial will begin anew after the recusal of Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako, the previous presiding judge. The case, initially overseen by Justice Nyako, was reassigned to Justice Omotosho after Kanu and Ejimakor publicly requested a change in judicial oversight following an unsuccessful attempt to return the case to Justice Nyako.
