Federal High Court, Abuja has slated Friday, the 26th of September, 2025 for the determination of application filed by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on the no-case submission in his case with the federal government.
The ruling was previously scheduled for October 10.
One of the Kanu’s lawyers, Aloy Ejimakor, made this known in a post on his X handle on Monday.
“The scheduled ruling on Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s no-case submission has been abridged from 10th October 2025 toFriday, 26th September 2025,” he wrote.

The IPOB leader is currently facing trial for terrorism due to his push for the actualization of Biafra.
The Eastern Updates sighted a court notification about the slated hearing stating that if either party desires to postpone the hearing he must apply to the Court as soon as possible for that purpose.
It, however, added that such application if based on any matter of fact, must be backed up with proof of facts.
In other news, Justice Musa Liman of the Federal High Court, Abuja, has declined hearing of a motion filed by Biafra nation agitator, Nnamdi Kanu, seeking an order transferring him from the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) to the National Hospital in Abuja for urgent medical attention.
The judge declined hearing on the ground that his fiat to sit as a vacation judge ends today and therefore he lacked jurisdiction to open such a new matter for hearing.
Justice Liman instead ordered that the case file be returned to the registry for the Chief Judge to reassign it to another judge.
At Monday’s proceedings, Asiwaju Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN, appeared for the Federal Government while Uchenna Njoku, SAN, stood for the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
When the matter was called, Kanu’s lawyer informed the judge that the motion by Kanu was filed on September 1, while a counter-affidavit of 37 paragraphs opposing the transfer request was served on him by government in the open court.
The senior lawyer said that he had not read the counter-affidavit for him to respond.
