Court adjourns Nnamdi Kanu’s terrorism trial indefinitely
The Federal High Court, Abuja Division, adjourned the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, indefinitely on Monday.
Justice Binta Nyako gave the order after Mr Kanu and his counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, insisted that the trial judge no longer had jurisdiction to preside over the case following her earlier recusal.
Ms Nyako had, on September 24, 2024, recused herself from the trial of Mr Kanu after an oral application from the defence, and the case file was transferred to the chief judge.
However, the Federal High Court chief judge, Justice John Tsoho, sent Mr Kanu’s case file back to Ms Nyako for adjudication, insisting that the defence must make a formal application before the recusal could be accepted.
