Justice Binta Nyako, of the Federal high court in Abuja, who is also the judge presiding over the case of Nnamdi Kanu, the proscribed leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has adjourned his trial indefinitely.
Justice Nyako adjourned the suit on Monday following Kanu’s insistence that the judge cannot preside over his case since she had recused herself.
Remember that Kanu’s trial was put on hold after Justice Nyako recused herself from the case on September 24, 2024, following Kanu’s oral request.
The IPOB leader had openly expressed his lack of confidence in her handling of the matter.
However, the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, John Tsoho, overruled the recusal, stating that Kanu’s request must be formally submitted through a motion on notice.
As a result, the case file was returned to Justice Nyako for further proceedings.
Fairview shall continue to update as the case unfolds.
