The Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu has rejected the request by the Federal Government for the resumption of his trial.
The lead counsel of the IPOB’s leader, Aloy Ejimakor, made this revelation in a post via his official X handle on Tuesday.
He said his client had opposed the Federal Government’s bid to reopen the trial and insisted that the trial judge, Justice Binta Nyako, must recuse herself from the case.
Ejimakor argued that Justice Nyako’s decision to recuse herself was still valid and binding.
“Our position is based on the fact that Justice Nyako entered and enrolled an order recusing herself on September 24, 2024, and to date, that order remains extant and subsisting. It has not been set aside by any competent court,” Ejimakor stated.
Ejimakor further accused the prosecution of attempting to mislead the court, insisting that Kanu no longer has a case before Justice Nyako
