Court of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has adjourned the case involving the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu and the Federal Government.

The case was heard on Tuesday. Kanu, on March 2016, dragged the Nigerian Government to the ECOWAS Court, demanding $800,000 as compensation.

He was absent in court on Tuesday,  but his lawyers applied for a motion on notice to file additional documents.

The documents include a report by Amnesty International on June 10, 2016, and titled “Killing of Unnamed Pro Biafra Supporters by Military.”

The counsel said it must be urgently investigated, presenting photographs of slain members of IPOB allegedly killed by Nigerian security personnel.

The Federal Government lawyers denied receiving the motion but the court saw evidence that it had been served and objected to the adoption of the documents.

The court asked Kanu’s lawyers to proceed with their arguments but the government lawyers objected that their lead counsel was at the supreme court.

They, therefore, requested that the case be adjourned till the afternoon.

The court adjourned the case till November 21, stating it would be the last adjournment.

It said it would also give its decision on the application for N2million on November 21, 2017.
