Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja, has indefinitely adjourned the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra.
The decision, made on Monday, follows Kanu’s insistence that Nyako cannot preside over his case, citing her previous recusal.
PUNCH Online had earlier reported that Kanu had been ordered to appear for a hearing on Monday, February 10, 2025, before Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja. https://punchng.com/court-orders-nnamdi-kanu-to-appear-on-monday/#google_vignette
Earlier in January, Kanu filed a petition against Justice Nyako before the National Judicial Council, accusing her of judicial misconduct in handling his trial. https://punchng.com/nnamdi-kanu-drags-justice-nyako-before-njc-alleges-judicial-bias/
And days later, the IPOB leader called for his case to be transferred to the South-East if no judge at the Federal High Court in Abuja is willing to preside over it apart from Justice Binta Nyako. https://punchng.com/kanu-demands-trial-transfer-to-seast-faults-justice-nyakos-role/
