Justice Nyako To Step Down From Nnamdi Kanu's Trial
A Justice of the Federal High Court Abuja, Justice Binta Nyako has recused herself from the trial of the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu in the terrorism charges brought against him by the federal government.
Justice Nyako made the statement after Kanu asked her to rescue herself from his case since she had refused to obey the Supreme Court’s order, adding that he had lost confidence in the court.
He spoke out at the open court during the resumption of his trial today.
Justice Nyako then replied that she would be happy to recuse herself from the trial, and had no problem with his request.
She said she would be sending the case file back to the chief judge for reassignment and further necessary actions.
He based his remarks on the Supreme Court’s decision which questioned the jurisdiction of where the alleged broadcast that the federal court is charging him on was made.
