Nnamdi Kanu’s Demands: Change of Judge Before Trial Resumption
Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has rejected the Nigerian Federal Government’s request for the resumption of his trial. Kanu, who has been in detention since 2021 on charges related to his alleged activities for the secessionist group, insists on a change of judge before his trial continues.
He claims that the current judge is not impartial, and his legal team is demanding a new one before they will proceed with any legal proceedings.
The development comes amidst ongoing tensions surrounding Kanu’s detention and the broader political and security issues in Nigeria, particularly in the southeastern region where IPOB operates.
The request for a change of judge could further delay the trial, which has already been contentious and politically sensitive.
