The security agency filed terrorism charges against one Haruna Abbas and two others.

At the mentioning of the case Ademola announced that he would return the case file to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Ibrahim Auta, for reassignment.

“The matter was here last on June 13, and it involves the DSS; I don’t want to handle any of its matters anymore.

“In the interest of fair hearing, I think I will move the file to another court because it will not be fair to me and to DSS.

“So, I will return the file to the chief judge to reassign.

“The case file is hereby returned to the chief judge for reassignment to another judge on personal grounds,” he said.

However, the accused begged Ademola not to withdraw from the case, saying they would prefer to be tried by him.

This is the second time Ademola is withdrawing from a case involving the DSS.

On Oct. 18 he withdrew from a case brought against a former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, by the DSS.
