We Too Have Lost Confidence In The Presiding Judge Of Kanu’s Case -Family

The family of detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has said they have equally lost confidence in the presiding judge handling the separatist leader’s case.

They have thus welcomed her decision to step down.

Kanu’s family stated this while reacting to the decision of the Presiding Judge, Justice Binta Nyako to hands off the case, accused her of bias against their son.

Prince Emmanuel Kanu who spoke for the family said the Judge’s final decision to recuse herself from the case as a step in the right direction.

“The reason Nnamdi Kanu requested the Presiding Judge to step down was because she refused to comply with the orders of the Supreme Court.

“As far as we are concerned, she was not willing or prepared to comply with any of the orders of the apex court. We also lost confidence in her because she was biased against our son.”

She refused to comply with the orders of the Supreme Court concerning the IPOB Leader, an action which the Supreme Court itself had faulted.

Having been abducted in Kenya, the family held that their son’s trial should be in Kenya, rather than Nigeria as was currently the case.

The family maintained that Nnamdi Kanu was abducted in Kenya and extradited to Nigeria against every known protocol and international law.

His extraordinary also constituted a violation of the law itself, hence, the federal government has lost the rights to prosecute him, they stated
