IPOB Asks Justice Nyako To Step Down From Kanu’s Case

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is requesting the removal of Justice Binta Nyako from the case of their leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Lifestyle Nigeria 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.”
