The Federal High Court in Abuja, on Tuesday, barred Favour Kanu, wife of Prince Fineboy Kanu and sister-in-law to Nnamdi Kanu, from attending three court sessions for live-streaming proceedings on her Facebook page.

Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), is facing terrorism charges brought by the Federal Government.

Justice James Omotosho gave the order after Mrs Kanu admitted to the act and apologised to the court.

“I want to hear from her. Were you not the one that I took your phone? I did not give order to forfeit that phone. I don’t know if she might be a wife to my brother (Nnamdi Kanu),” the judge said.

Although Kanu’s lawyer, Chief Kanu Agabi (SAN), also apologised on her behalf, Justice Omotosho ruled that she would be barred from three subsequent proceedings.

The judge expressed dismay that Mrs Kanu had still posted the video online despite her phone being previously confiscated in court when she was caught recording.

The judge warned against any actions that could delay the trial and assured all parties that justice would be served.
