In a dramatic turn of events, Nnamdi Kanu, the embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has called for Justice Binta Nyako to recuse herself from his ongoing trial.
Kanu, facing charges of treason and terrorism, argues that Justice Nyako's impartiality is compromised, raising concerns about her ability to deliver a fair judgment.
The request has added a fresh layer of tension to the already highly charged case, which has drawn international attention due to Kanu's high-profile activism and push for Biafran independence.
Sources close to Kanu’s legal team claim that they believe the judge’s past rulings show a pattern of bias against their client, and are pressing for her withdrawal to ensure a fair trial.
As the court prepares to respond, many are watching closely to see whether this move will further complicate an already contentious legal battle.
This development may have significant implications for the trajectory of the case and the broader push for justice by IPOB supporters.
More updates to follow as the story unfolds.
