Justice Binta Nyako Suspends Secret Trial Of Pro-Biafra Leader Nnamdi Kanu
Hon
Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the lead counsel of the defendants after his
introduction, told the court that the accusations leveled on his
clients lacks merit and basic proof. According to Hon Ejiofor, "Nnamdi
Kanu (the first defendant) is only exercising his right to self
determination."
He
also noted that that the defendants started their agitations even
before the emergence of Muhammadu Buhari as the president of Nigeria;
hence do not pose any threat to the incumbent Buhari's government...
The Federal High Court presided by Justice Binta Nyako after hearing, suspended the
secret trial of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu and co-defendants till further
notice following a prima facie suit filed by the defendants against the
Nigerian government challenging the veracity of the charges leveled
against them, which is currently being entertained by the court.
