Leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu has apologized for his outburst and verbal attack on Justice Binta Nyako.

Kanu protested the return of his case file to Justice Nyako on grounds that the judge had earlier recused herself from the matter during the last sitting.

A new judge, Justice James Omotosho, with former Attorney General of the Federation Kanu Agabi has taken over Kanu’s defence.

Speaking through his lawyer, Kanu said he was sorry for his actions which was borne out of anger and frustration, a plea that was welcomed by the prosecution team led by Adegboyega Awomolo.
