Justice Binta Nyako of a federal high court sitting in Abuja has adjourned the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), indefinitely.
The judge adjourned the suit on Monday following Kanu’s insistence that the judge cannot preside over his case since she had recused herself.
The detained IPOB leader challenged the jurisdiction of his alleged terrorism case when he re-appeared before Justice Binta Nyako for the resumed hearing of his protracted case.
Despite Kanu’s insistence that Justice Nyako has no jurisdiction over his case, the judge adjourned the matter indefinitely.
Kanu was brought into Nigeria in June 2021 and has since been detained and tried for alleged terrorism. His trial was stalled after Justice Nyako recused herself from the case following an oral application by the defendant on September 24, 2024.
The IPOB leader had directly told the judge that he no longer had confidence in her handling of his trial.
