Nigeria court gives separatist Kanu final chance to defend himself in terrorism trial

In a dramatic turn, Nigerian separatist leader Nnamdi Kanu faces a looming deadline to defend himself against terrorism charges in a trial that's already lasted over a decade. With Kanu refusing to mount a defence and dismissing his legal team, the judge has warned that he could lose his right to defend himself if he doesn't act quickly. The outcome of this high-stakes trial could have lasting effects on the southeast region of Nigeria, where tensions over secession and national identity remain heated.
