Court Orders Nnamdi Kanu to Appear on Monday
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has been directed to appear before Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday, February 10, 2025.
This directive was issued through a hearing notice obtained on Friday, dated January 22, 2025, and addressed to Kanu's lead counsel, Aloy Ejimakor.
Earlier, Kanu had requested the transfer of his case to a Federal High Court in the South-East, expressing a lack of confidence in Justice Nyako.
On September 24, 2024, during a court session, Kanu requested that Justice Nyako recuse herself from his trial. Following this, Justice Nyako recused herself and transferred the case file to Justice Tsoho.
However, Justice Tsoho later returned the case file to Justice Nyako for the continuation of the trial.
Kanu has maintained that Justice Nyako presiding over the case after her recusal would violate her own judicial orders.
He has instructed his legal team to ensure that she refrains from handling the case.
In response to the upcoming hearing, Ejimakor expressed surprise, stating that they "shall appear with bated breath."
Kanu's legal team has also reiterated their request for the case to be transferred to a High Court in the South-East.
In a letter dated January 30, 2025, Ejimakor applied for the transfer, arguing that Justice Nyako no longer has jurisdiction to handle the case following her recusal.
He stated, "Given that no other judge in the Abuja division is willing to take the case, the only viable option is to transfer the case to any division of the Federal High Court in the South-East geopolitical zone, especially since the alleged offences have an impact in the South-East (and not Abuja)."
As the hearing approaches, the legal community and the public await further developments in this high-profile case.
What are your thoughts on the court's decision to proceed with Nnamdi Kanu's trial?
Do you believe the case should be transferred to the South-East?
