More troubles seem to be ahead for IPOB Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as John Tsoho, the chief judge of the federal high court (FHC), has reassigned his case back to Binta Nyako.

Didactic Information Hut recalls that Justice Nyako had on September 24, recused herself from the case after an oral application made by Kanu.

“I hereby recuse myself and remit the case file back to the chief judge,” Nyako had said.

But, NAN reports that Tsoho has reverted the file to Nyako on the ground that Kanu’s application must be brought formally before the court through a motion on notice.

It is expected that the application must also be served on the prosecution (attorney-general of the federation).

At the last court session, Kanu had directly told Nyako that he no longer had confidence in her handling of his trial.

Facing the judge, Kanu had said: “My lord, I have no confidence in this court anymore and I ask you to recuse yourself because you did not abide by the decision of the supreme court.”

“I can understand it if the Department of State Services (DSS) refuses to obey a court order, but for this court to refuse to obey an order of the supreme court is regrettable.

“I am asking you to recuse yourself from this case.”

Although the prosecution urged the court to proceed with the trial, Nyako said she would go with extricating herself from the case.

Nyako then said she would be sending the case file back to the chief judge for reassignment and further necessary actions.
