Once again, the Court of Appeal in Abuja has adjourned the appeal of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) till Thursday, May 5.
The court, on Monday, April 25 had to adjourn the said case because Kanu’s case file was not brought to court for the hearing.
Kanu is being tried alongside 2 others, David Nwawusi and Benjamin Madubugwu on charges bordering on treasonable felony, unlawful possession of firearms and and the management of an unlawful society.
Kanu’s counsel, Chuks Muoma had expressed to the court, his disappointment at finding out that the case was not due for hearing even though it was fixed for Monday, April 25, by the same court.
Kanu had approached the Appeal court for an order to direct the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Ibrahim Auta to take Justice Tosho off the trial and assign another judge.
Kanu accused Justice Tosho of bias after the judge ruled that witnesses in the trial would be allowed to testify behind a shield thereby hiding the witnesses’ identity from the members of the public.
