According to reports, Kanu’s lawyer suddenly stepped down during the proceedings, citing “professional reasons.” But instead of panicking, the IPOB leader just adjusted his outfit and decided to continue the matter by himself. Like, who needs a lawyer when you’ve been dealing with Nigerian legal drama since forever? 😭

People on social media are calling it “main character energy”, saying Kanu channeled his inner Harvey Specter. Others are just there for the memes — “Baba don turn lawyer overnight,” one user joked on X (Twitter). But all jokes aside, it’s giving bold, it’s giving determined, and maybe even desperate.

This whole move has sparked fresh conversations online about how long Kanu’s trial has been dragging, the government’s handling of the case, and whether he’s getting a fair shot at justice. Some supporters dey hail him for not giving up, while others dey wonder if this solo act go actually help his situation or make am worse.

At the end of the day, Naija court matter no be small thing. Whether Kanu’s move na power play or last resort, one thing clear — man no dey back down easily.
