Shockwaves in Abuja as Justice James Omotosho Steps Down From Nnamdi Kanu’s Case

In a dramatic turn of events, Justice James Omotosho has officially withdrawn from presiding over Nnamdi Kanu’s trial — and his reason has stunned many.

According to him, judges from around the world reportedly warned him about handling a case involving a man alleged to have been abducted through extraordinary rendition.

His words were blunt:
👉 “One wrong move could stain my reputation and this court forever.”

Describing the entire matter as “too politically toxic”, he said Kanu’s extraordinary rendition has created a situation where a fair and credible trial is almost impossible within Nigeria’s current system.
