Alloy Ejimakor, the legal representative of Nnamdi Kanu, the embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has reiterated his trust in the impartiality of Justice Binta Nyako in his client’s case, despite the Supreme Court’s differing opinion.
Speaking at the Federal High Court in Abuja, Ejimakor addressed the issue regarding Kanu, who faces charges of treasonable felony. He emphasized that he and his team did not want to complicate matters by mentioning the Supreme Court’s stance on revoking Kanu’s bail.
“We have never doubted your partiality, but the Supreme Court did… We don’t want to rub it on your face; we wanted the court to apply its fresh discretion, and that’s why we did not bring up the Apex Court’s position on the revoking of his bail,” Ejimakor stated to Justice Nyako.
In a related development, Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja has denied bail to Kanu during the latest hearing. The court, however, has ordered an expedited hearing of the case involving the IPOB leader.
