IPOB Lawyer, Ejimakor Rejects FG's Move To Set Date For Resumption Of Nnamdi Kanu's Trial | Daily Report Nigeria

  • Aloy Ejimakor, the lead counsel for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has rejected the move by the Nigerian government to set a date for the resumption of Kanu’s trial.

  • Ejimakor based his rejection on the fact that Justice Binta Nyako of the Abuja Federal High Court entered and enrolled an order recusing herself from Kanu’s trial on September 24, 2024.

  • Kanu has remained incarcerated since June 2021, when he was rearrested in Kenya and subjected to extraordinary rendition to Nigeria.

Aloy Ejimakor, the lead counsel for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has rejected the move by the Nigerian government to set a date for the resumption of the trial of the embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

Ejimakor based his rejection on the fact that Justice Binta Nyako of the Abuja Federal High Court entered and enrolled an order recusing herself from Kanu’s trial on September 24, 2024.

Recall that Kanu had requested Justice Nyako to step down from his trial due to a lack of confidence in her handling of the matter.

Following his request, the judge returned Kanu’s case file to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice John Tsoho.

However, Justice Tsoho sent the case file back to Justice Nyako for the continuation of the trial. Despite this, the prosecuting counsel for the Nigerian government, Adegboyega Awomolo, requested a date to continue Kanu’s trial.

In a letter addressed to the Deputy Chief Registrar of the Federal High Court and dated December 5, 2024, Awomolo wrote: “We write as prosecuting counsel in the above-named criminal case pending before the Federal High Court, No. 2.

“We were informed that the Hon. Chief Judge had returned the case file for the continuation of trial before His Lordship, the Honourable Justice Binta Nyako.

“Grateful, may we ask for a date for the continuation of hearing of the criminal charges against the defendant.”
