Kanu’s lead counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, spoke with newsmen and said it is now official that Kanu will appear before a new Judge, Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja, on 21st March 2025, in court 7, adding that the legal team is primed and ready.
Ejimakor, however, disclosed that Kanu’s legal team has not been served with the charges he would face before Justice Omotosho.
Kanu has been facing charges over his pursuit for the actualization of Biafra.

In September 2024, Kanu had challenged Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja to recuse herself from his trial.
Following his call, Justice Nyako recused herself but the Chief Judge of the Abuja Federal High Court rejected her decision.
In December, Justice Nyako adjourned Kanu’s case indefinitely.
Against this backdrop, Kanu vowed never to appear in court until an impartial judge is appointed to preside over his case.
