Sam Amadi, Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, stated on Tuesday that the legal charges against Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, lack substantial legal basis.
This comment followed an announcement by Justice Binta Nyako, who expressed her intention to withdraw from Kanu’s trial.
Amadi also revealed that Justice Nyako had mentioned something similar to him two years earlier, suggesting that proving the charges against Kanu would be challenging.
“The charges against Nnamdi Kanu do not make much sense legally speaking, and in my opinion, difficult to prove.
“Justice Binta said something close to that to me two years ago. Not surprised she backed down.
It is a political trial in the guise of a legal trial. End it,” he posted on X on Tuesday.
The IPOB leader reportedly stated that he has lost confidence in the court and called for the trial judge to recuse herself from his case.
