Kanu is demanding the release of his personal
belongings allegedly seized during his arrest and a
monetary compensation of 800 million dollars for
alleged violation of his liberties.
He is also asking the court to compel the federal
government and their agents to respect, protect and
promote his human rights.
Hearing in the case has been fixed for November 8,
2016.
Kanu alongside his co-accused, Benjamin
Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi are facing a six-
count charge of treasonable felony, brought against
them by the Nigerian government.
A Federal High Court judge in Abuja had in September
withdrawn from the case .
Mr Kanu had filed a petition against Justice Tsoho
before the National Judicial Council over alleged
judicial rascality.
Justice James Tsoho said that he had no personal
interest in Kanu’s trial and would return the case
file to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court,
Justice Ibrahim Auta for reassignment.
