On March 21, 2025, Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB, the Indigenous People of Biafra, will stand before a new judge.
Kanu is scheduled to appear before Federal High Court Justice James Omotosho in Abuja, according to information obtained.
Aloy Ejimakor, Kanu’s principal counsel, told reporters that the legal team is prepared and ready.
However, Ejimakor said that the accusations that Kanu will be facing before Justice Omotosho have not yet been delivered to his legal team.
Kanu has been charged because of his efforts to bring Biafra to reality.
Kanu had asked Federal High Court Judge Binta Nyako of Abuja to step aside from his trial in September 2024.
The Chief Judge of the Abuja Federal High Court disregarded Justice Nyako’s decision to recuse herself after his call.
Justice Nyako postponed Kanu’s case indefinitely in December.
In light of this, Kanu promised that he would never go to court again unless a neutral arbiter was chosen to hear his case.
It is now definite that Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu would appear before a new judge on March 21, 2025, according to Ejimakor. We are prepared and ready for this milestone.
“He will appear before Justice James Omotosho of Federal High Court in court 7.
“The case will start new like it has never held before. Everything that was done from 2015 when he was arrested to the last time that he appeared before Justice Binta Nyako are gone including the appeals that are pending, they are gone out of the window.
“He would be rearraigned on charges that we have not seen, we can mention that we received a hearing notice but no charges have been sent to us.
“We really don’t know the charges we are facing on March 24. The government has a trick they always do, they will serve you a day before the hearing so that you don’t have time to study the charges.
“Sometimes they serve you will you are in court but the charges would have been in the court registry and we can’t start asking the court to give us copy.”
