A judge from the Federal High Court in Abuja, Justice Musa Liman, on Monday, sent back to the chief judge (CJ), a motion filed by the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, for reassignment.

According to NAN, the motion ex-parte is seeking an order of the court transferring him to Abuja National Hospital for urgent medical attention.

Justice Liman, in a short ruling, made the order transferring the case file back to the CJ, following an application by Kanu’s counsel, Uchenna Njoku, SAN, considering the fact that the annual vacation of the court would be ending today.

The Department of State Services (DSS)’s lawyer, Chief Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN, did not oppose Uchenna ‘s application.

Earlier upon resumed hearing in the case, the judge hinted that there was no time anymore for the vacation court to decide Kanu’s motion.

He said not less than 30 cases were listed for the day’s proceedings by the registrar and since the court would be unable to take all, the cases were proned down to six.

The judge said in line with Section 46(8) of the FHC Rules, any case that could not be completed within vacation period would have to be sent back to the CJ for reassignment.
