The
federal government through the DSS had accused Kanu treasonable felony,
mismanagement of an unlawful society and concealing of goods in a container. He is popularly called ‘Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu’ by his followers and admirers, who mostly are from South Eastern Nigeria.
Most times throughout his ongoing trial, he always appears in court looking
tired, defeated, dejected and stressed. But today, a different Kanu showed up
in court, he looked happy and energetic.
The Federal High court today,
September 26, ruled in favour of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra
Nnamdi Kanu. Justice John Tsoho in his
ruling disqualified himself from hearing the criminal case against Kanu. The
judge’s ruling came after Kanu in a petition to the National Judicial Council
called for an investigation of Justice Tsoho over two conflicting rulings he
made. He further announced that he will no
longer preside over the matter stating that the essence of justice is based on
confidence in the court by all parties involved.
“I have disqualified myself from sitting
over this case, thereby the case file shall be transferred to the office of the
chief justice of the Federal High Court. “This shall be the position of this
court even if the NJC decides otherwise, Justice Tsoho concluded.
