Justice James Omotosho, on Thursday, November 20, 2025, ordered the Department of State Service (DSS) operatives to take Nnamdi Kanu out of the courtroom over his unruly behaviour.
The presiding judge gave the order following Kanu’s insistence that the judgement, scheduled for delivery on Thursday, would not proceed.
Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), stood his ground and refused to move out of the courtroom despite the pleadings by the DSS operatives for the defendant to listen to the court order.

Justice Omotosho then stood down the matter and directed the security officers to take him out of the courtroom.
The development led to a rowdy session as Kanu was later taken out as ordered by the judge.
