Nnamdi Kanu: IPOB Sends Message To Judge, Gives Reason To Release Him In Next Trial

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB has given reasons why Justice Binta Nyako of an Abuja Federal High Court should acquit and discharge their leader, Nnamdi Kanu in the next court hearing.

IPOB stated that discharging Kanu in the next trial date which is on April 8, 2022, would prove that the judge is not biased and has not been compromised.

IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, said this on Sunday in a statement.

He maintained that the 15-count charge against Kanu were ludicrous and empty with no substance.

According to him: “The global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU wish to raise concern over the continuous detention of our great leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU in the Nigeria DSS custody.

“Only a judge that is manifestly compromised and biased will even contemplate not acquitting our leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU come 8th day of April 2022. Justice Binta Nyako must be firm in upholding justice without fear and favour otherwise she will ridicule herself amongst judicial colleagues both internally and within the International community.

“This position is based on the fact that the 15 counts amended charges upon which his case is predicated are empty and has no iota of substance whatsoever. The emptiness of these laughable charges has been well marshalled out/comprehensively discussed in the 46-page objection filed by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s erudite legal team.

“Mazi Nnamdi KANU has never committed any crime and this position is very obvious going by the frivolous 15 count amended Charges which has nothing attached to it as evidence.

“The Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami completely agreed with the foregoing position in which his erudite and compelling Article was published in our penultimate press statement. You can’t turn the law upside down and as such, no court in Nigeria has the jurisdictional competency to try Mazi Nnamdi KANU.

“What is expected to happen on 8th Day of April 2022, is total acquittal and discharge of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, and nothing more.”
