Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has petitioned the Nigerian Chief Judge to transfer his trial to Southeast Nigeria, arguing that the alleged offenses occurred within the region.
Kanu, who has been in detention under the Nigerian government, previously requested that Justice Binta Nyako recuse herself from the case, citing a lack of confidence in her handling of the matter.
This latest plea aims to secure a fair trial closer to the region linked to the charges. The request has added another layer to the ongoing legal and political tensions surrounding his case.
