Embattled leader of proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has taken the case from his legal team.
Lead counsel to Kanu, Kanu Agabi, has applied to withdraw from representing the detained IPOB leader.
All the Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SAN) on the defence team have also withdrawn from the suit, a development which Kanu himself confirmed in court.
Kanu told the court that he would be representing himself for now, though that might change later. When the judge asked if he should be assigned a lawyer, he declined the offer.
Defending himself orally, Kanu argued that the court lacked the jurisdiction to try him.
