Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja has adjourned the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), indefinitely.
This decision, made on Monday, comes after Kanu challenged Nyako’s ability to preside over his case, citing her previous recusal.
Earlier, it was reported that Kanu was ordered to appear before Justice Nyako on Monday, February 10, 2025.
In January, Kanu filed a petition against Justice Nyako with the National Judicial Council, accusing her of judicial misconduct in handling his trial.
Following this, Kanu also called for the transfer of his case to the South-East unless another judge at the Federal High Court in Abuja was willing to preside over it, aside from Justice Nyako.
Further details to follow.
