The trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), resumed on Monday at the Federal High Court under Justice Binta Nyako.
This follows a dispute over her earlier decision to step away from the case.
Justice Nyako had withdrawn from the trial on September 24, 2024, after Kanu openly expressed a lack of confidence in her.
However, the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, John Tsoho, returned the case to her, stating that Kanu’s request for a new judge must be submitted formally.
During the hearing, Justice Nyako reminded Kanu’s legal team, led by Aloy Ejimakor, that her withdrawal had not been officially approved.
She advised them to submit a formal application if they still wanted her to leave the case.
