The Federal High Court has unequivocally refuted the false and misleading report, alleging that the Honourable Chief Judge, Justice John T. Tsoho, has stepped down from Nnamdi Kanu’s case and made statements regarding the legality of his arrest.
According to a press release on Tuesday, 11th March 2025, signed by the This claim is entirely unfounded, fictitious, grossly mischievous, damaging in intent and should be disregarded in its entirety.
“The true position is that The Honourable Justice Tsoho, in his capacity as Chief Judge, has reassigned Nnamdi Kanu’s case from Honourable Justice Binta Nyako to another (‘new’) judge. The report referred to, is, therefore, totally spurious.
“The defence team should hence prepare to receive instructions regarding the case, as may be issued by the new judge.
“The Federal High Court strongly cautions against deliberate misinformation to mislead the public and erode confidence in the judicial system.
“We urge the general public to be wary and rely only on verified information from official court sources.
“The Court remains steadfast in upholding justice through due the process of the law.
“Any further inquiries should be directed to the Court’s Information Department, the statement concluded.
