Nnamdki Kanu: The 'Judicial Acrobatics' Unfolding in Abuja Court

 

Today the 25th of April 2017, the whole world is about to witness another Nigerian judicial acrobatics as Binta Nyako who doubles as the prosecutor and judge in the protracted case of Nnamdi Kanu unveils yet another gimmick.

It is a known fact that the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra and Director of Radio Biafra and Biafra Television London, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been illegally detained for close to two years without conviction of any kind.

The ailing president of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari on his part also vowed to disallow the rule of law to take its course in the case; distorting the course of justice by refusing to obey court orders passed by two different courts of competent jurisdiction. His human rights have been infringed upon and maliciously tampered with.

In the past two years of this case, no witnesses or a single piece of evidence of any kind have been ably presented by these lying prosecutors to justify the continued detention of the innocent man. Instead, the judge and the prosecutors, have tried every gimmick known to man by coming up with various concocted charges and counter charges in order to convict Nnamdi Kanu. From bringing masquerades to testify against him to Secret trial and finally, diving into Islamic sharia legal code in an attempt to forge a reason to pronounce him guilty. But all the efforts of the judge and the prosecutors have always met a brick wall as Nnamdi Kanu’s defence counsels have continued to prove that they are abreast of their malicious schemes and of course equal to the task.

It will be recalled that in December 2015, Nnamdi Kanu was granted bail and also discharged and acquitted unconditionally by two different judges of the Nigerian federal high court, but instead of adhering to the court verdict, the Nigerian government decided to disobey the court orders and continued keeping Mazi Nnamdi unduly in jail in abject rejection of the rule of law.
In a democracy, the legislature makes the law while the judiciary interprets it and enforce it too but in the Nigerian context, the executive makes, interprets and enforces her law.

It is fortunate that the world is watching with keen interest as these strange scenes unfold. The whole world is watching keenly and patiently waiting to see how this case is going to be driven from the common law and steered into sharia mode in a civil court of law, in a supposed secular state, by Justice Nyako. It’s really going to be a ground-breaking event as it is a system that is considered alien to Biafrans who are not conversant with Sharia trial and may be forced to witness such as Justice Binta has avowed. So the question herein is, will this glaring disorder and perversion of the judicial process be allowed to take precedence?

We are therefore waiting to see justice Binta Nyako reveal another revised and rehearsed version of the Nigerian judicial acrobatics. It would be recalled that earlier in her court, she had ruled against a secret trial and masquerade witnesses, but on the return of what looked like Muhammadu Buhari from London, she changed like a chameleon and varied her own ruling against the secret trial and masquerade witnesses.

Like fish that has swallowed the hook, she is stuck between the deep blue sea and the devil. The truth is like a lit candle and cannot be hidden under the bushel. Light must destroy darkness and rule over it, shining out for all to see. This is what is about to happen. We implore all and sundry to tenaciously observe the trend of events as we head to court again on the 25th of April 2017.

Nigeria and Biafra will lock horns as light shining from the East unseats the lies surrounding the seat of darkness, Nigeria. We have the right to self-determination, and our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has committed no offence seeking same. Justice is all we seek and justice we shall get. We are the wronged, detained, maimed and killed and as such deserve nothing less than freedom tomorrow.

We say no to a secret to trial for Nnamdi Kanu!
No to sharia trial!
No to masked witnesses!
