ABUJA (Reuters) - Separatist leader Nnamdi Kanu pleaded not guilty to seven counts of terrorism and treason charges in a new trial in Nigeria on Friday, with a fourth judge now presiding over the case.
Kanu, a British citizen who leads the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) movement, was first arrested in 2015 but disappeared from Nigeria while on bail in 2017.
