A Nigerian journalist, Agba Jalingo, who is facing treason charges for allegedly criticising a Nigerian governor, is demanding that his case should be transferred to a new judge.
Mr Jalingo’s demand, according to a letter he wrote on November 27 to the chief judge of the Federal High Court, is based on the publication of leaked audio where the trial judge allegedly said the journalist would be treated like Ken Saro-Wiwa, the environmental activist and Ogoni leader, who was executed by Sani Abacha-led military administration on November 10, 1995.
Mr Jalingo in the letter told the chief judge, “I see no chance of a fair trial for me in my case” before Justice Amobeda.
