Radio Biafra : New judge takes over Nnamdi Kanu Trial Case

The case of pro-Biafran leader, Nnamdi Kanu, has been assigned to another judge, his lawyer told IBTimes UK.
Mr Ifeanyi Ejiofo explained the case would now come before Justice John Tsoho of the Federal High Court in Maitama, Abuja.

“The case is now slated for arraignment and hearing of our pending application for his bail on January 18,” he said.

“The motion for his bail was today, January 13, served on the attorney general of the federation. They are yet to file any counter to the application. I and the defence team will now be leading the case.”

“They are yet to respond,” he said. “In the unlikely event that we won’t be able to see him before, we are going to see him in court on 18 January.”

Kanu is the director of Radio Biafra and leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (Ipob). He was arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS) in Lagos in October 2015 on conspiracy and terrorism charges that were later dropped.

However, a day after the Abuja High Court ruled he should be released, officials pressed new treasonable felony charges against him and two other defendants, Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi.
