Justice Nyako Is Partisan, Must Step Down From Nnamdi Kanu’s Case – IPOB
“The
visibly angry Judge Nyako's threat proved that she was highly
compromised. She is being manipulated and controlled by the executive
branch of the Nigerian government via the Ministry of Justice.
“Justice Binta Nyako has made herself an interested party in Mazi
Nnamdi Kanu's case instead of being a non-partisan and unbiased judge.
“Justice Binta Nyako should redeem herself and recuse herself or step down from Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's case.”
He further said that “Since the kidnap and rendition of Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu in June 2021, and illegal arraignment before Justice Binta Nyako's
Court without legal representation, Justice Binta Nyako has not given
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu breathing space to express himself in order to allow
for a fair hearing.
“Even though the Supreme Court ruled that the Nigerian government
committed an international crime in bringing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu back to
Nigeria”, and “That the Nigerian military invasion of Mazi Kanu's
residence on 14th of September 2017 was responsible for him fleeing and
that Justice Binta Nyako should have not revoked his bail, Justice Binta
Nyako should have reinstated Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's bail and apologized to
him for tampering with his fundamental human rights.
“No. She never reinstated Mazi Kanu's bail. Instead, she refused Mazi
Kanu's fresh applications for bail or transfer from the DSS solitary
confinement to a Correctional Center because she has a hidden hatred and
agenda.
“The actions and antecedent of Binta Nyako indicated that she will rule against this innocent man for reason best known to her.”
Powerful alleged that “Justice Binta Nyako was handed an already scripted judgment, and she is under instructions to jail Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. That's why she rejected every application to grant Mazi Nnamdi Kanu bail or transfer him to the Correctional Center but insisted on accelerated hearing so she can deliver her agreed upon sentence with the federal government of Nigeria."
