Nigerian separatist leader Nnamdi Kanu has sacked the lawyers representing him at his trial and announced he will be representing himself from now on.
The 58 year-old opened his defence on Thursday, where he argued that the court lacked the jurisdiction to try him - an argument rejected by the judge.
Kanu, who heads the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (Ipob) denies charges of terrorism and incitement to violence.
Ipob is seeking independence for what the group calls the Biafran nation in south-eastern Nigeria.
Barely 24 hours ago, Kanu listed some high-profile Nigerians as witnesses in his trial, including Abubakar Malami, who was attorney general at the time of his arrest in 2021.
