Did the Newly Appointed Judge Abandon Biafra Kanu's Case Again?

The Director of Radio Biafra, Mr Kanu was supposed to appear at the Federal High Court Abuja, yesterday, but the much awaited case was adjourned due to the absence of the judge.

The adjournment came as a shock to IPOB members who gathered at the court premises and its environs early yesterday morning waiting to see their leader, but were sadly shocked when it was announced that the case had been postponed indefinitely.

No formal communication was made to the lawyers of the detained Biafran activist and no reason was given as to why the judge was absent from the court.

The case was assigned to a new judge, Hon. Justice John Tsoho, after many weeks of searching for a judge.

It is also not yet clear whether Justice John Tsoho abandoned this case as his colleague, Justice A Mohammed did sometime in the past.

The case has been adjourned to January 21st 2016, amidst speculation that another judge might be appointed for the controversial trial.

The members and sympathizers of the leader of IPOB were gathered eagerly waiting to get a glance of the leader, but were shocked when it was announced that the court date had been adjourned.


The action of the judge appeared to confirm the speculation that no judge would want to get involved in this case as their judgment may not be respected by the Department of State Services, DSS, and the Federal Government.
