Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Abuja, has expressed displeasure over what he described as unprofessional conduct among Nnamdi Kanu's legal team.
The Judge gave the warning on Wednesday during the continuation of ongoing terrorism trial of Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Justice Omotosho particularly described Aloy Ejimakor and others as mere content creators who do not want the trial to end, for their selfish interests.
The judge charged all parties in the case, especially those prosecuting the trial on social media, to act professionally so as not to have themselves to blame.
He warned Ejimakor to stop such conduct that may warrant the disbarring of a lawyer.
"Ejimakor even has the audacity to post the approved list of counsel for Nnamdi Kanu on his Facebook page," the judge observed.
Justice Omotosho charged all parties in the case to avoid acts that amount to misconduct and watch what they post on social media.
The judge said he granted an accelerated hearing into the case in the interest of all parties, particularly for Nnamdi Kanu who has been in custody for too long
Justice Omotosho’s warning came after the Federal Government of Nigeria kicked against live streaming of court proceedings in Kanu’s trial.
The Federal Government, through its lawyer, Chief Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN, kicked against a request made by Kanu's family for live streaming of the proceedings.
At the resumption of trial, Kanu's lead counsel, Kanu Agabi, SAN, drew the attention of the court to a letter by Awomolo.
In the letter dated May 14, 2025, the Federal Government lawyer recommended that the use of phones be banned from the courtroom henceforth.
The senior lawyer lamented the action of Aloy Ejimakor, a member of Kanu's team, who posts alleged misleading information on social media.
Awomolo accused Ejimakor of posting misleading, embarrassing and unpleasant commentaries on social media.
"The on-going case is a serious matter that should not be trivialised by any lawyer from any of the parties," Awomolo said.
In one of the video posts on his Facebook page, Ejimakor was said to have called on 'Biafrans' to rise against the persecution of Nnamdi Kanu.
Agabi, Kanu's lead lawyer, equally condemned Ejimakor's action.
He apologized over the conduct and promised that such would not repeat itself.
Meanwhile, the case later proceeded with the cross examination PW2 (a personnel of the DSS) code named BBB by Paul Erokoro, SAN, who conducted proceedings on behalf of the defence.
