The Apex Socio-cultural Youth organization of Ndigbo, Ohanaeze Youth Council,OYC has extolled Mazi Nnamdi Kanu,the IPOB leader for educating Justice Binta Nyako and legal Counsel to the Federal Government, Mr Solomon Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN) on the rudiments of law concerning his trial.
Speaking to newsmen after the Federal High Court, Abuja unjustly denied Nnamdi Kanu bail yesterday ,Tuesday, May 21, the national President General,Ohanaeze Youth Council(OYC), Comrade Igboayaka O Igboayaka stated that the presiding Judge, Justice Binta Nyako is under the influence of the Federal Government led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“The facial expressions of Justice Binta Nyako in the court room when Nnamdi Kanu lambasted and educated her and Mr. Solomon Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN) on the fundamental rules of the law shows that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has given negative instructions to Justice Binta Nyako over the court case of Nnamdi Kanu”,he posited.
Comrade Igboayaka recounted that the Supreme Court was silent on granting bail to Kanu but was very vocal to condemn the ‘Operation Python Dance’ by Federal Government in 2017 that claimed the lives of over two hundred (200) armless innocent civilians, and the abduction of Nnamdi Kanu in Kenya.
Igboayaka also noted that the Supreme Court ruled that Kanu didn’t jump bail, but his flying away from Nigeria was as a result of an attack on his life by the Nigerian military.
“It’s unfortunate that Justice Binta Nyako is not making any references to the Judgement of the Apex Court, but believing and declaring that Nnamdi Kanu jumped bail is contrary to the legal provisions of the Supreme court judgement. It’s obvious that Justice Nyako relied on the alleged teleguided script of the Federal Government led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to decide to refuse the bail application of Nnamdi Kanu filed by the lead counsel, Barr. Aloy Ejimakor” ,Igboayaka stated.
Comrade Igboayaka commended Mazi Kanu’s bravery and doggedness in court for educating Justice Nyako and lead counsel to the Federal Government,Mr. Awomolo (SAN),stating that “the provision of Section 2, sub section 3(f) of Terrorism prevention and provision Act of Federal Republic of Nigeria implies that the attempt to try Kanu by Federal Government is purely commiting an act of terrorism” .
It’s crystal clear that Kanu was kidnapped in Kenya by Federal Government in conspiracy with Kenya Government breaching the international and local law, therefore he can’t be tried in any court of competent jurisdiction in Nigeria.
The way Nnamdi Kanu was abducted, smuggled to Nigeria, there’s no window of law to commence trial, for such trial by Justice Nyako,it will lead to legal somersault of Nigeria to the diplomatic treaty they signed with Kenya.
“This is why Justice Nyako has been instructed by President Bola Tinubu to keep delaying Nnamdi Kanu’s court case, the same delay tactics employed by President Muhammadu Buhari, but this delay is more dangerous to the existence of Nigeria than the fear they have about Nnamdi Kanu.
“It’s obvious that Kanu’s abduction in Kenya is similar to abduction of Umaru Dikko in Britain on July 5, 1984, but British government foiled that illegal arrest on July 6 citing the breach of Diplomatic law and stopped the move to bring Alhaji Umaru Dikko back to Nigeria. It’s therefore regrettable and a demonstration of illegality and mockery to the international law that even British and Kenya governments consented to agree
and abduct Nnamdi Kanu; because he is an Igbo man.
This is the empirical evidence that to be an Igbo man in Nigeria is a very herculean task and life threatening task, than to use legs to cross the Atlantic ocean” ,Comrade Igboayaka narrated.
The national PG Ohaneze Youths therefore urged President Tinubu to realise that Kanu court case has gotten to Its elasticity,and to stretch it further may lead Nigeria into Haiti nation’s present condition.
It’s therefore, a necessity that the Federal Government led by President Tinubu should discontinue from the executive rascality and impunity of the former President Muhammadu Buhari and speedy up the granting of political solution to Nnamdi Kanu’s case and grant him unconditional release.
This Igboayaka believes would be a viable means to National restoration of peace and stability in Nigeria.
