The Federal High Court (FHC) has dismissed reports that the newly assigned judge in Nnamdi Kanu’s case has stepped down.
In a statement signed by Chief Registrar Sulaiman Hassan, the court described the viral claims as “false and misleading.”
The misinformation, widely circulated on social media, alleged that Justice John Tsoho, the Chief Judge of the FHC, had quit the case due to concerns over Kanu’s alleged illegal extradition. However, the court clarified that Justice Tsoho never presided over the matter but simply reassigned the case from Justice Binta Nyako to Justice James Omotosho.
The FHC cautioned against spreading false information that could undermine public trust in the judiciary and urged the public to rely on verified court sources for updates.
