The detained leader of Igbo separatist group, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has petitioned the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, over the refusal of the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Abuja, Justice John Tsoho, to reassign his case to another judge following the recusal of Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako.
In the petition filed on his behalf by his Special Counsel, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, Kanu demanded the reassignment of his case file to another judge since Nyako has already recused herself and wondered why Justice Tsoho has refused to give the case to another judge.
In the petition made available to journalists in Wednesday, Kanu noted that since Justice Nyako had withdrawn from the case, there was no reason for her to continue as she stands recused and any judgement delivered by her will be a nullity.
