Nnamdi Kanu’s Trial: IPOB Threatens To Shutdown Nigeria if…

The leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has threatened that the group would be crippling the Nigerian State if the federal government thinks that it would use Hon. Justice Binta Nyako to keep its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu perpetually in detention without trial.

IPOB in a statement issued by its spokesman, Comrade Emmma Powerful disclosed that the pro-Biafra group frowned at the way Justice Nyako was handling the case of Kanu, especially, the way that she handled Kanu’s case on Nov. 10, when she unilaterally postponed the case of Kanu till January 19 and 20, 2022.

According to IPOB, Justice Nyako by her action is engaging in judicial rascality and impunity at the behest of the federal government of Nigeria aimed at keeping Kanu in perpetual detention without trial, adding that Justice Nyako was simply playing the script handed over to her by the “Fulani caliphate of which she belongs to.”

IPOB, while also accusing Justice Nyako of working with the Department for State Service (DSS) said that locking out one of Kanu’s lawyers from the US; Bruce Fein, has exposed Justice Binta Nyako’s biased and prejudiced disposition to the Kanu’s case before her.

WE WILL CRIPPLE NIGERIA IF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THINKS IT CAN USE JUSTICE BINTA NNYAKO TO KEEP OUR LEADER IN PERPETUAL DETENTION WITHOUT TRIAL – IPOB

We the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) unequivocally condemn the attitude of justice Binta Nyako over the way she is handling the case of our Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu before her court.

We are most shocked at her obvious prejudice and bias during the last court proceedings which resulted in her whimsical adjournment of the case to January 19th and 20th 2022.

Justice Binta Nyako is engaging in judicial rascality and impunity at the behest of the federal government of Nigeria aimed at keeping our Leader in perpetual detention without trial.

This rascality only portrays that Binta Nyako is simply playing the script handed over to her by the Fulani caliphate of which she belongs to.

We wish to express our displeasure with Justice Binta Nyako’s handling of this case. How can a judge put a defendant on trial without legal representation.

Justice Binta Nyako has always wanted to conduct a secret trial of this high profile case which concerns the personal liberty and human rights of the accused.

Her constant long adjournments, her open bias and willingness to do the bidding of the DSS has seriously eroded the confidence of the accused on the neutrality of the Judge in handling this case.

Justice Binta Nnyako has given us sufficient reason and ground to doubt her ability to give justice and fair hearing to our Leader considering her antecedents and the manner and way the judge has been going about this case.

Locking out the legal Representatives including one of our Leader’s counsels from the US, Bruce Fein from the court room has only exposed Justice Binta Nyako’ biased and prejudiced disposition to this case before her.

We are aware that Justice Nnyako is working with DSS to humiliate our leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU but the world should hold her accountable for her actions.

But one thing the judge must understand is that we are determined in our irrevocable resolve to restore Biafra.

No amount of intimidation, persecution or prejudice by the oppressors or their agents can derail our match ti freedom and the ultimate restoration of the Sovereign State of Biafra.

It is impossible for the Fulani to dictate to IPOB and the present generation of  Biafrans. They may have done so to our fathers and elders but cannot dictate to the present generation of Biafrans.

Our elders, traditional rulers, religious leaders and political elite who are begging IPOB to soft pedal must take serious note of the travesty and shenanigans playing out in Justice Binta Nyako’s Court room. Our patience is not infinitely elastic.
