25 has again adjourned the appeal brought
before it by the leader of the Indigenous
People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu, and
his co-accused, David Nwawusi and
Benjamin Madubugwu.
The case was postponed till May 5 because
court reportedly didn’t bring Kanu’s case file
to court.
Chuks Muoma expressed his disappointment
by telling the presiding Justice Moore he
was surprised to hear that the case is not
due for hearing after it was fixed for today.
The IPOB leader and his two co-defendants
are being prosecuted on six counts of
treasonable felony, unlawful possession of
firearms and other crimes bordering on
supposed agitation for secession of the
Republic of Biafra from Nigeria.
They had approached the Abuja Division of
the Court of Appeal asking for an order to
compel the Chief Judge of the Federal High
Court, Justice Ibrahim Auta, to withdraw the
case from Justice Tsoho and re-assign it to
another judge.
The defendants blamed Justice Tsoho for
bias following the judge’s ruling, which
would permit prosecution witnesses to
testify behind a ‘shield’ in order to hide the
witnesses’ identities from the members of
the public present in court.
