Nnamdi Kanu’s trial has been adjourned indefinitely by a Federal High Court in Abuja, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Monday.
The decision to adjourn Nnamdi Kanu’s trial was made by Justice Binta Nyako after Kanu and his lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, argued that the judge no longer had the authority to oversee the case due to her previous recusal.

Justice Nyako had recused herself from the trial on September 24, 2024, following an oral request from the defense, which led to the case file being transferred to the chief judge.
However, the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice John Tsoho returned Kanu’s case file to Justice Nyako, stating that the defense must submit a formal application to solidify the recusal.
