Nnamdi Kanu: Secret Trial is Condemnable, Unprecedented in Nig History – Adeniyi
Comrade Adesoji Adeniyi, a social critic, has said that the secret trial of Nnamdi Kanu, the IPOB leader, by the federal government is not good enough for the growth of democracy.
Adeniyi said that such secret trial has never happened in the country before, adding that the trial process may be biased.
According to him, “even when the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo was being tried for treason during the First Republic, the witnesses were not masked. For witnesses to wear mask during trial may be dangerous for justice.”
Adeniyi called on the federal government to shy from such arrangement by ensuring that the IPOB leader gets fair hearing and trial before the nation’s court.
He explained that the trial process must be done through the normal processes so that the government would not be accused of being biased at the end.
