The Federal High Court in Abuja has adjourned proceedings in the trial of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, to June 28, 2022.
The trial judge, Justice Binta Nyako, had on May 18, adjourned the suit until May 26, after she rejected Kanu’s bail request.
But in a statement on Wednesday, one of the lawyers to the IPOB leader, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, announced the postponement of the case.
Ejiofor said, “Please be informed that we have just received communication from the Federal High Court’s Registrar, notifying us that the Court will no longer be sitting tomorrow, 26th May, 2022, on Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s case.
“According to the Registrar, this is because His lordship, Justice Binta Nyako is indisposed, and as such, the matter is now adjourned to the 28th day of June 2022 for Ruling/Hearing.”
He urged IPOB supporters to “maintain restraint, as you have always done.”
