The federal high court has refuted reports alleging that the new judge assigned to preside over the case of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has stepped down.
John Tsoho, chief judge of the federal high court, reassigned Kanu’s case to another judge after the IPOB leader repeatedly asked Binta Nyako to recuse herself from his case.
On February 10, Nyako adjourned the case indefinitely following Kanu’s insistence that she could no longer preside over it due to her earlier recusal.
