The hearing was originally fixed for October 10, when the court was also expected to continue with his terrorism trial. However, Justice James Omotosho, who is presiding over the main case, will now first address the new application filed by Kanu’s legal team. Surprisingly, the Federal Government’s legal team, led by Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN), did not oppose the request. With the vacation of Federal High Court judges officially over, Justice Liman’s authority as a vacation judge had lapsed. Kanu’s main trial, where he faces terrorism-related charges, is still scheduled to resume on October 10.
