Anambra whistleblower Nnamdi Emeh returns to court Tuesday after police held him for three years.
Emeh exposed police actions in the state.
Authorities charged him with fraud, money laundering, impersonation, firearm possession, and defamation.
His supporters say the case targets him for what he revealed.
The court process faced multiple delays. A judge fell ill earlier this year and slowed hearings.
Meanwhile, Emeh received the 2025 Blueprint Africa Whistleblowing Prize while still in custody.
His father accepted the award on his behalf.
Officials have not commented on the length of the detention.
The case now moves forward at the Anambra court as Emeh’s legal team prepares arguments.
Observers watch to see how quickly proceedings advance this time.
