The legal team of the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra , Nnamdi Kanu, on Wednesday, walked out on Binta Nyako, the judge of the Abuja division of the Federal High Court handling the separatist’s trial.
Mr Kanu, who is being prosecuted on a seven-count charge bordering on terrorism, had before Wednesday’s proceedings, engaged the spy police agents in a shouting-match inside the courtroom when he observed the absence of his legal team. In his response, Mr Kanu said his lawyers were protesting the denial of access to Mr Fein, the IPOB lawyer in the United States, who was on the Federal High Court premises to observe the day’s session.As a result of the development, the prosecuting lawyer, Mr Abubakar, urged the court to dismiss all the pending applications that were filed by Mr Kanu’s legal team.
Mrs Nyako noted that individuals seeking to attend Mr Kanu’s trial must write her court for consideration., who was in the courtroom to watch proceedings, said she had written the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, seeking his consent to attend Wednesday’s sitting, a procedure Mrs Nyako said was wrong.
Similarly, Mr Ejimakor described the development as “strange” wondering why the judge sat on the matter behind their back.It will be recalled that the SSS barred journalists and lawyers from the court on October 21, when the trial last held. While the trial of the rest of the defendants has made some progress, Mr Kanu’s has been stalled since 2017.
Its now clear that he will celebrate Xmas in custody... Orí okere koko lawo.........
