The trial judge, Justice Musa Liman of the Federal High Court, Abuja, handling the motion filed by the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, on Monday, referred the case file back to the Chief Judge for reassignment.
Justice Liman, in a short ruling, ordered the transfer of the case file to the Chief Judge following an application by Kanu’s counsel, Uchenna Njoku (SAN), on the grounds that the court’s annual vacation would end on September 15.
Kanu, in his motion ex parte, is seeking an order directing his transfer to the National Hospital, Abuja, for urgent medical attention.
The Federal Government’s lawyer, Chief Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN), did not oppose Kanu’s application.
At the previous sitting, Justice Liman had fixed Monday to hear the motion filed by Kanu’s counsel during the vacation period.
In the motion, with charge number FHC/ABJ/CR/383/2015, Kanu’s counsel, Chief Kanu Agabi, SAN, sought leave for the application dated September 3, 2025, to be heard before the vacation judge.
He also prayed that the court consider it urgently due to the deteriorating health of Kanu. Punch
