    Federal High Court Dismisses Report of New Judge Stepping Down from Nnamdi Kanu’s Case

    The Federal High Court has dismissed reports that the newly assigned judge in the case of the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has stepped down.

    The FHC, in a statement signed by the Chief Registrar, Sulaiman Hassan, on Tuesday described the report as “false and misleading.”

    A publication circulating on social media had claimed that Justice John Tsoho, the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, was the new judge in Kanu’s case and had withdrawn, citing the illegality of his arrest.

    However, in the statement, the chief registrar said the claim was “entirely unfounded, fictitious, grossly mischievous, damaging in intent and should be disregarded in its entirety.”

    “The attention of Management of the Federal High Court has been drawn, with great concern, to an online reportage as above captioned.

    “The court unequivocally refutes the false and misleading report, alleging that the Honourable Chief Judge, Hon. Justice John T. Tsoho, OFR, has stepped down from Nnamdi Kanu’s case and made statements regarding the legality of his arrest,” the statement read.

    According to Hassan, the true position is that the Justice Tsoho, in his capacity as Chief Judge, has reassigned Nnamdi Kanu’s case from Justice Binta Nyako to another (‘new’) Judge.

    Hassan said, “The report referred to, is, therefore, totally spurious.

    “The defence team should hence prepare to receive instructions regarding the case, as may be issued by the new judge.

    “The Federal High Court strongly cautions against deliberate misinformation to mislead the public and erode confidence in the judicial system.

    “We urge the general public to be wary and rely only on verified information from official court sources.

    “The court remains steadfast in upholding justice through due process of the law.”

    Drum Africa reliably gathered, however, that the case between the Federal Government and Kanu had been reassigned to Justice James Omotosho, following Justice Nyako’s recusal (withdrawal).
