In a report by The Nation, the embattled secessionist was seen wearing the same white Fendi designer dress a Federal High Court judge said he should wear again in court.
Speaking on Kanu's outfit, the prosecution counsel, Shuaibu Labaran, said the southeasterner has chosen to appear the way he was seen.
Labaran said:
“My lord, based on your order yesterday, we provided Defendant with a new Orthopedic mattress, pillows, and blankets.
“As for his appearance, he chose to wear this particular one because he said that it is designers."
However, giving the reason for Kanu's decision, his lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekhome, stated:
“My lord what happened was that by the time proceedings ended yesterday, and because it was not his visiting day, we were not able to pass to him, some clothes we obtained for him.
“We even discussed it with him this morning and he said that on the next visiting day he would want to have the new clothes."
