The trial of Nnamdi Kanu, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, has been extended indefinitely by Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja.
The ruling, made on Monday, comes after Kanu insisted that Nyako cannot sit over his case, citing her earlier recusal.
Chronicle NG had earlier reported that Kanu had been ordered to appear for a hearing on Monday, February 10, 2025, before Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja.
Kanu had earlier petitioned the National Judicial Council, accusing Justice Nyako of judicial malpractice in handling his trial.
Days later, the IPOB leader demanded that his case be relocated to the South-East if no judge at the Federal High Court in Abuja is ready to rule over it other than Justice Binta Nyako.
The IPOB leader has been detained in DSS custody since June 2021, after he was arrested in Kenya. Since his arrest, he has been facing terrorism-related charges levelled against him by the government.
