On mentioning the case, there was confusion in court when two sets of lawyers announced their appearance for Kanu who was absent.
But the judge over the case Shuaibu Usman, provoked, ordered the State Security Services (SSS) to produce Kanu in court on next adjournment date.
Usman said it is important that Kanu appears in court to at identify who he has chosen to represent him.
The first team of lawyer led by Vincent Obete said he was briefed by Kanu’s family to represent the accused while the second lawyer, Gabriel Egbune said Kanu has personally asked him to represent him immediately after his arraignment.
He further adjourned the case to November 23.
IPOB supporters has been protesting against Kanu’s detention in Rivers, Anambra, Abia, Enugu, Imo and Delta states.
