Transfer my case to Igboland – Nnamdi Kanu to Chief Judge

As it is entering the 4th year he has been held in police custody in Abuja, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu still remains defiant in demanding what he wants.
Recall that Kanu rejected Justice Binta Nyako, the trial judge in his case, and demanded that she recused herself on September 24, 2024. He accused her of lack of confidence.

Nyako obliged and handed over Kanu’s files to Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, John Tsoho. But Tsoho insisted that Nyako must continue as the trial judge.
However, a statement released yesterday by Kanu’s lead counsel Aloy Ejimakor, showed the leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) still wanted Nyako to stay off his case. If there are no more judge in Abuja, then the case should be transferred to Southeast, Kanu said.
“Due to its constitutional implications, Onyendu [Mazi Nnamdi Kanu] instructed the legal team to take certain prompt steps to ensure that his case is not handled by the same Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako who had withdrawn from the case by virtue of the order of recusal entered on 24th September 2024.
“The point was stressed that should the case still lie with Justice Murtala-Nyako, it would mean that the same court is disobeying an order that it made.
“We are therefore looking forward to going to court as long as another Judge of the Federal High Court is assigned to the case.
“If no other judge in Abuja is willing to handle the case, the Chief Judge is free to transfer the case to Umuahia, Awka, Enugu, Asaba, Port Harcourt or any other Federal High Court within the former Eastern Nigeria where the offenses were alleged to have happened or allegedly had impact,” the statement read.
