During Tuesday’s proceedings, a mild drama played out in the Abuja Federal High Court.
Kanu jumped up from the dock and ordered Ejimakor to sit down for him to address the court.
The IPOB leader challenged the trial judge, Justice Binta Nyako to recuse herself from his trial, saying he has no confidence in her judgement.
The Federal Government’s lawyer, Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN, objected to Kanu’s request.
But Justice Nyako bowed to Kanu’s demand and recused herself from the trial.
She ordered Kanu’s case file to be returned to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice John Tsoho, for reassignment to another judge.
