Benjamin Madubugwu.

The case was postponed till May 5 because court official reportedly
didn’t bring Kanu’s case file to court. Chuks Muoma expressed his
disappointment by telling the presiding Justice Moore he was surprised
to hear that the case is not due for hearing after it was fixed for
today.
The IPOB leader and his two co-defendants are being prosecuted on
six counts of treasonable felony, unlawful possession of firearms and
other crimes bordering on supposed agitation for secession of the
Republic of Biafra from Nigeria.
They had approached the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal asking for an order to compel the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Ibrahim Auta, to withdraw the case from Justice Tsoho and re-assign it to another judge.

The defendants blamed Justice Tsoho for bias following the judge’s
ruling, which would permit prosecution witnesses to testify behind a
‘shield’ in order to hide the witnesses’ identities from the members of
the public present in court.
