In some parts of South-Eastern Nigeria, there exists a tradition that encourages the families of young girls who get unwantedly pregnant to force them into marrying older men or women.
Igboho’s trial proceeded on federal government’s extradition case against him from the neighbouring country.
When Kanu’s matter was called, prosecution counsel, Mohammed Abubakar informed the court of Kanu’s absence for the day’s proceeding, citing logistical reasons.

But the presiding judge, Justice Binta Nyako declined the application, insisting on the physical presence of Kanu before she could proceed on the matter.
