The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is requesting the removal of Justice Binta Nyako from the case of their leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
Gatekeepers News reports that according to IPOB’s spokesperson, Emma Powerful, the group believes that Justice Nyako has been “compromised” by the Federal Government, making it impossible for her to deliver a just verdict in the case.
Because of this, Biafrans worldwide are demanding that Justice Nyako step down from the case.
IPOB has alleged that Justice Nyako is under pressure from the Federal Government of Nigeria to imprison an innocent man to save her husband and son from the EFCC.
The statement said, “The global family of IPOB demands that Justice Binta Nyako step down from Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s case. Nyako is already compromised because the Federal Government of Nigeria is pointing a gun at her head to jail Kanu to free her husband and son from their EFCC case.
“IPOB will never allow the Federal Government to use our leade as bait to entice Nyako to carry out their ugly agenda. Kanu cannot be sacrificed to save the corrupt and treasury looters. Kanu has not committed any offence known to the law. His only offence is that he is championing Biafra’s self-determination movement.
“Justice Nyako must understand that Kanu belongs to every South Easterner and they don’t want to see anything ugly happen to him. The calamity that will befall the country will be better imagined. President Bola Tinubu and Nyako must save the country by releasing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.”
He, however, called on human rights advocates to interfere and ensure fairness in Nigeria’s judicial system.
“We urge all Western countries and human rights organisations like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Inter-Society organisations and other reputable human rights organisations to prevail on the Federal Government of Nigeria to save their judicial system in Nigeria.
“IPOB understands the precarious situation Justice Binta Nyako has found herself in. That is why we demand that she steps down from Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s case,” he stated.
