Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court Abuja, has been asked by Nnamdi Kanu to withdraw from his case as he has lost confidence in the court.
During his hearing, the leader of the indigenous people of Biafra noted that she has refused to obey orders of the Supreme Court.
Nnamdi Kanu spoke out at the open court while asking herself to withdraw herself from his trial.
Justice Binta Nyako replied him, saying that she would be happy to withdraw herself from the trial, and had no problem with his request.
She went ahead to say that she would be sending the case file back to the chief judge for reassignment and further necessary actions.
Kanu then aggressively asked his counsel, Alloy Ejimakor to sit down while he stood up from the dock to address Justice Nyako.
He based his remarks on the Supreme Court’s decision which questioned the jurisdiction of where the alleged broadcast that the federal court is charging him on was made.
The leader of the indigenous people of Biafra also read a part of the judgment of the Supreme Court, where alleged bias against Justice Nyako was raised.
Adegboyega Awomolo, the counsel for the Federal Government, had earlier told the court that he was ready for the commencement of the trial, but that it could not hold under the present circumstance.
