Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja has adjourned the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, “sine die.”

Kanu’s trial was stalled after Nyako of the Abuja Federal High Court entered a recusal order on September 24, 2024.

The judge issued the recusal order after Kanu asked her to step down from his trial because he lacked confidence in her ability.

Following her decision, Justice Nyako returned Kanu’s case file to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, John Tsoho.

However, Tsoho was said to have returned the file to Nyako to continue the trial.

Kanu is currently facing charges of terrorism leveled against him by the Federal Government.

The IPOB leader has been in detention since he was rearrested in Kenya and subjected to extraordinary rendition back to Nigeria in 2021.

Gospel singer Paul Nwokocha has confirmed that his second marriage has hit the rocks.

Paul Nwokocha married a woman named Goodness in September 2023 just one month after his marriage to his first wife, Alice, ended.

At the time he married Goodness, he extolled her virtues with songs on their wedding day and stated that she was from his hometown, so his fans concluded this meant he knew her well.

He also explained at the time that he “decided to marry my new wife, Goodness, one month after my ex wife packed out of our matrimonial home because the Holy Bible said Paul Nwokocha should not be alone.”

Sadly, the second marriage ended after just one year.

Addressing his second failed marriage in a video, Paul Nwokocha claimed his wife Goodness was caught taking nud£ photos of herself and sending to men.
