The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, on Wednesday insisted that Justice Binta Nyako of the Abuja Federal High Court will not handle his case.


Kanu ordered his lawyers to ensure that Justice Nyako stays off his case following her recusal.

On September 24, 2024, Kanu had asked Justice Nyako to ‘hands off’ his trial on grounds of lack of confidence.


Following the call, the trial judge stepped down from Kanu’s case and transferred his case file to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, John Tsoho.

However, during his routine meeting with his legal team led by lead counsel Aloy Ejimakor at the Department of State Services, DSS, facility in Abuja, Kanu said Justice Nyako would be disobeying her own order by restarting the case.

This was contained in a statement issued by Ejimakor on Wednesday.


According to the statement, Kanu’s case should be transferred to the Southeast if no judge in Abuja is willing to take up his trial.

Ejimakor said: “The routine visitation to Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu continues unabated, as the legal team just concluded a crucial visitation today.

“The central issue arising at today’s visitation is the upcoming court date for the continuation of MNK’s case.


“Due to its constitutional implications, Onyendu instructed the legal team to take certain prompt steps to ensure that his case is not handled by the same Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako who had withdrawn from the case by virtue of the order of recusal entered on 24th September 2024.

“The point was stressed that should the case still lie with Justice Murtala-Nyako, it would mean that the same court is disobeying an order that it made.

“We are therefore looking forward to going to court as long as another Judge of the Federal High Court is assigned to the case.


“If no other judge in Abuja is willing to handle the case, the Chief Judge is free to transfer the case to Umuahia, Awka, Enugu, Asaba, Port Harcourt or any other Federal High Court within the former Eastern Nigeria where the offenses were alleged to have happened or allegedly had impact.

So that ugm/Ipob boys will stage a prison break , free baba and then escape to Malawi

The game is clear

Username253:
The supporters of APC will never do that

kettykin:
This man will stay a little longer in jail from the look of things but that would be the beginning of high scale injustice in Nigeria as political figures who are unjustly imprisoned in future will have no one to fight for them.

Even trump and Biden granted clemency to a good number of prisoners but in Nigeria it is the other way round. The APC-led regime has more innocent people in jail than Even the Aguiyi Ironsi government that imprisoned coup plotters.

South East Enugu was where this whole drama started. That should be the area of jurisdiction in my humble opinion

Peterobiisathie:
Nnamdi Kanu has killed innocent soul and he must be killed too

kettykin:


What innocent souk did nnamdi Kanu kill . If you are talking about soldiers that were sent on failed operation python dance then they were killed by ugm and not nnamdi kanu

erad:


You were making a little bit of sense till you brought in Trump and Biden.

Tochitee:
I like as the federal government is playing ball with this idiot! Everyday that I learn kanu is in prison ,I’m always happy! No freedom for terrorist! Baba wait for tinubu 6 more years then we trial you for 10 years!

obidark:


are you sure you want a dangerous talker like him to be released....??

kettykin:


If there's is any dangerous talker then it is APC-led regime and their media advisers. Reno Omokiririri has been more dangerous than nnamdi Kanu
