The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has been ordered to appear for a hearing on Monday, February 10, 2025, before Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja.
This was contained in a hearing notice obtained by newsmen on Friday, 7 February, 2025
The notice, dated January 22, 2025, was addressed to Kanu’s lead counsel, Aloy Ejimakor.
Kanu had earlier requested that his case be transferred to the South-East if no judge at the Federal High Court in Abuja was willing to handle it apart from Justice Nyako.
On September 24, 2024, during one of the court sessions, Kanu made a request before the open court that Justice Nyako should recuse herself from his trial, citing a lack of confidence in her.
Following this request, Justice Nyako recused herself and transferred the case file to Justice Tsoho.
However, Justice Tsoho subsequently returned the case file to Justice Nyako for the continuation of the trial.
