Business Day also noted the development.

Kanu, in the motion ex parte, is seeking an order of the court transferring him to the National Hospital, Abuja, for urgent medical attention.

In a ruling, Justice Liman ordered the transfer of the case file back to the federal high court's CJ, Uchenna Njoku (SAN), following an application by Kanu’s counsel, Uchenna Njoku (SAN). This is considering the fact that the annual vacation of the court will end today, Monday, September 15.
