Embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, is ready to challenge any court that violates the rule of law in his ongoing trial.
This was made known by his legal team on Wednesday.
On Monday, Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja, indefinitely adjourned Nnamdi Kanu’s trial.
The judge made the decision following Kanu’s insistence that she could not preside over his case, citing her previous recusal.
But in a statement issued on Wednesday, the leader of Kanu’s legal team, Aloy Ejimakor, said:
“Kanu had directed them to announce to the world that “the era of institutional bias against him by Abuja courts is over in his case.”
“During our visitation today, Nnamdi Kanu instructed us to convey to the civilised world his resolve to take his trial, insofar as it comports with the tenets of the law.
“He stands ready to challenge any court that fails to align its decisions with the rule of law.
“He maintains that, with the obvious exception of one, the rest of the decisions taken in his cases in Abuja have been riddled with blatant unconstitutionality in contravention of Section 36 of the Nigerian Constitution, which mandates courts to be ‘independent’ and ‘impartial.”
