Saturday, April 27, 2024 - The Indigenous People of Biafra has demanded the stepping down of Justice Binta Nyako from the case of its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
The pro-Biafran group in a statement on
Saturday by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, said Nyako has been “compromised” by
the Federal Government.
Powerful said that as a result, the judge
would not deliver any justice in the matter.
He insisted that Biafrans, both home and the
diaspora, demand that Jus He alleged that Nyako will not deliver a fair
judgment as she is under uncontrollable pressure from the Federal Government of
Nigeria to jail an innocent man to save her husband and son from EFCC.
The statement said, “The global family of
IPOB demands that Justice Binta Nyako step down from Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s case.
Nyako is already compromised because the Federal Government of Nigeria is
pointing a gun at her head to jail Kanu to free her husband and son from their
EFCC case.
“IPOB will never allow the Federal Government to use our
leader as bait to entice Nyako to carry out their ugly agenda. Kanu cannot be
sacrificed to save the corrupt and treasury looters. Kanu has not committed any
offence known to the law. His only offence is that he is championing Biafra’s
self-determination movement.
“Justice Nyako must understand that Kanu
belongs to every South Easterner and they don’t want to see anything ugly
happen to him. The calamity that will befall the country will be better
imagined. President Bola Tinubu and Nyako must save the country by releasing
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.”
He, however, called on human rights
advocates to interfere and ensure fairness in Nigeria’s judicial system.
“We urge all Western countries and human
rights organisations like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch,
Inter-Society organisations and other reputable human rights organisations to
prevail on the Federal Government of Nigeria to save their judicial system in
Nigeria.
“IPOB understands the precarious situation
Justice Binta Nyako has found herself in. That is why we demand that she steps
down from Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s case,” he stated.
This demand came 10 days after Nyakob threatened to adjourn sine die the trial of the Indigenous people of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu when his lawyer, Alloy Ejimakor, that his client’s rights to a fair trial were being disrespected.
