The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu will appear before a new judge on March 21, 2025.
It was learnt that Kanu will appear before Justice James
Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Kanu’s lead Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, said the legal team is
primed and ready.
Ejimakor, however, disclosed that Kanu’s legal team has not
been served with the charges he would face before Justice Omotosho.
Kanu has been facing charges over his pursuit for the
actualization of Biafra.
In September 2024, Kanu had challenged Justice Binta Nyako
of the Federal High Court in Abuja to recuse herself from his trial.
Following his call, Justice Nyako recused herself but the
Chief Judge of the Abuja Federal High Court rejected her decision.
In December, Justice Nyako adjourned Kanu’s case
indefinitely.
Against this backdrop, Kanu vowed never to appear in court
until an impartial judge is appointed to preside over his case.
Ejimakor said: “It’s now official that Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu shall appear before a new Judge on 21st March 2025. It’s a milestone; and
we are primed & ready.
“He will appear before Justice James Omotosho of Federal
High Court in court 7.
“The case will start new like it has never held before.
Everything that was done from 2015 when he was arrested to the last time that
he appeared before Justice Binta Nyako are gone including the appeals that are
pending, they are gone out of the window.
“He would be rearraigned on charges that we have not seen,
we can mention that we received a hearing notice but no charges have been sent
to us.
“We really don’t know the charges we are facing on March 24.
The government has a trick they always do, they will serve you a day before the
hearing so that you don’t have time to study the charges.
“Sometimes they serve you will you are in court but the
charges would have been in the court registry and we can’t start asking the
court to give us copy.”
