The leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, on Tuesday, requested that Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court Abuja recuse herself from his case.

He said this was because he no longer had confidence in her court.

Kanu, who made the request at the resumed hearing of his case, added that the judge has decided not to obey orders of the Supreme Court.

In response, Justice Nyako said she would be happy to recuse herself from the trial, and had no problem with his request.

According to her, the case file will be sent back to the chief judge for it to be reassigned as well as further necessary actions.

More details shortly.
