My Trial In Abuja Is A Sham; No Hope Of Favourable Judgment For Me —Nnamdi Kanu
Kanu, though his legal team led by his Special Counsel, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, said the way and manner by which the laws are applied to him are not in conformity with the written laws of Nigeria or the pertinent international laws.
Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has said that he has no hope of getting favourable judgment from any court in Abuja as his cases are not being decided in accordance with the rule of law but what he described as rule of dirty politics and deadly politics.
Kanu, though his legal team led by his Special Counsel, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, said the way and manner by which the laws are applied to him are not in conformity with the written laws of Nigeria or the pertinent international laws.
The detained IPOB leader insisted that his trial is a sham designed to destroy truth and justice.
Ejimakor in a statement issued on Friday after the legal team’s routine visit to Kanu at the custody of the Department of the State Services (DSS), said, “He asked us to inform the general public that he’s not expecting any favourable judgment from any courts in Abuja because his cases are not decided in accordance with the rules of law but the rules of politics – dirty and deadly politics.
“The way and manner the laws are applied to him are not in conformity with the written laws of Nigeria or the pertinent international laws.
“Those benefiting from insecurity are the ones deciding what negative decisions to deliver because if justice were to be done, the well-orchestrated and heavily funded attacks and demonisation of his person and his lofty mission would no longer resonate with the public.
“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu urged the public to read all court decisions and judgements pertaining to him and IPOB to understand that what the law says is not what is being done.
“He insists that his trial is a sham designed to destroy truth and justice.”
SaharaReporters had reported that Kanu requested that his cases be transferred from Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja to any court in the Southeastern or South South regions of Nigeria, insisting on Justice Nyako’s recusal from his cases.
