Court bans Nnamdi Kanu’s sister-in-law for streaming proceedings

The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, placed on ban on Favour Kanu, the wife of Prince Fineboy Kanu, the younger brother to Nnamdi Kanu, for streaming the proceedings of the court live on her Facebook page.

Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), is being prosecuted by the federal government for alleged terrorism charge.

Justice James Omotosho, who gave the order after Favour admitted engaging in the act and apologised to the court, held that Favour would have been charged for contempt of court.

Although Kanu’s lawyer, Kanu Agabi (SAN), also apologised on her behalf, Justice Omotosho insisted that Favour would be barred from three proceedings.

The judge expressed surprise that despite that Favour’s phone was confiscated on the last adjourned date when she was caught recording him, she still went ahead to post the video online.

Justice Omotosho, who warned against any act that could cause delay in the trial, assured all parties in the case that justice would be served.
