Nnamdi Kanu Gets a New Judge: Trial to Begin on March 21st
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

After a very eventful break in legal proceedings, Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), is finally going to appear before a new judge, Justice James Omotosho, on March 21, 2025. This development comes after months of legal wrangling, protests, and intense courtroom drama.

Why the Change in Judge?

Back in September 2024, Kanu and his legal team had openly questioned the impartiality of Justice Binta Nyako, demanding that she step down from the case. While she initially recused herself, the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court rejected her decision, creating uncertainty about how the trial would proceed. Eventually, in December 2024, Justice Nyako indefinitely adjourned the case, leaving Kanu’s fate hanging in the balance.

A Legal Rollercoaster

Throughout this process, Kanu remained defiant, vowing not to participate in the trial unless a new judge was appointed. His persistence seems to have paid off, as the case has now been reassigned to Justice James Omotosho. With this change, the trial is set to start from scratch, wiping out everything that transpired from Kanu’s initial arrest in 2015 up until his last appearance before Justice Nyako.

However, there’s a twist, Kanu’s legal team, led by Aloy Ejimakor, has not yet been served with the specific charges he will face. Ejimakor has raised concerns that the government may delay serving the charges until the last moment, a tactic he claims is designed to limit their preparation time.

What Happens Next?

With the trial set to begin anew, all eyes will be on Justice Omotosho and how he handles the highly charged case. Will this fresh start bring about a fairer trial for Kanu? Or will it be another drawn-out legal battle?

The Bottom Line

This latest development in Kanu’s case marks a critical moment in his long legal fight. His supporters see this as a chance for justice, while the Nigerian government remains firm on its stance against IPOB’s activities. As March 21 approaches, one thing is certain, Nigerians will be watching the progress of the IPOB leader’s unending case.
