Kanu ordered his lawyers to ensure that Justice Nyako stays off his case following her recusal.
Following the call, the trial judge stepped down from Kanu’s case and transferred his case file to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, John Tsoho.
However, during his routine meeting with his legal team led by lead counsel Aloy Ejimakor at the Department of State Services, DSS, facility in Abuja, Kanu said Justice Nyako would be disobeying her own order by restarting the case.
This was contained in a statement issued by Ejimakor on Wednesday.
According to the statement, Kanu’s case should be transferred to the Southeast if no judge in Abuja is willing to take up his trial.
Ejimakor said: “The routine visitation to Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu continues unabated, as the legal team just concluded a crucial visitation today.
“The central issue arising at today’s visitation is the upcoming court date for the continuation of MNK’s case.
“Due to its constitutional implications, Onyendu instructed the legal team to take certain prompt steps to ensure that his case is not handled by the same Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako who had withdrawn from the case by virtue of the order of recusal entered on 24th September 2024.
“The point was stressed that should the case still lie with Justice Murtala-Nyako, it would mean that the same court is disobeying an order that it made.
“We are therefore looking forward to going to court as long as another Judge of the Federal High Court is assigned to the case.
“If no other judge in Abuja is willing to handle the case, the Chief Judge is free to transfer the case to Umuahia, Awka, Enugu, Asaba, Port Harcourt or any other Federal High Court within the former Eastern Nigeria where the offenses were alleged to have happened or allegedly had impact.”

Delusion of high level grandeur
ReplyDeleteWhy are judges afraid of handling this case? Must it be Binta Nyako who had initially recused herself? Are there no more judges in Nigeria? I'm beginning to believe what was allegedly said that Justice Binta Nyako is being blackmailed to do a dirty job for the Federal government in exchange of her husband and son freedom who are currently facing corruption charges in Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteJudges are afraid of handling the case cos it's crystal clear that the accused has been discharged and acquitted by a superior court(Appellate court) so why going back to a high court on a case an appellate court had overruled? Do you see how Nigeria is making a fool of itself. Can a case settled in a higher court be reassign to a lower court? Only in Nigeria precedence like this are set.
One day we will wake up to see that a judgment of a supreme court will be overturned by a high court or even a magistrate court😂
Nigerian lawyers should hide their head in shame keeping quiet over this desecration of justice
The jokes write themselves in this country. What a crying shame.
