Nnamdi Kanu has expressed fear over unfavourable judgement from Abuja courts.
NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the detained Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has expressed fear of getting an unfavourable judgment from any court in Abuja.
This was conveyed by his Lead Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, in a social media post after visiting Kanu at the Abuja headquarters of the Department of State Service, DSS, where he has been in confinement since June 2021 when he was abducted and extraordinary renditioned from Kenya.

According to Ejimakor, the IPOB leader expressed frustration over handling his cases, which he described as a flagrant disregard for due process and the rule of law.
According to him, those benefitting from insecurity in the Southeast decide what adverse decisions to make.
He wrote, “He asked us to inform the general public that he’s not expecting any favourable judgment from any courts in Abuja because his cases are not decided in accordance with the rules of law but the rules of politics – dirty and deadly politics.
“The way and manner the laws are applied to him are not in conformity with the written laws of Nigeria or the pertinent international laws.
“Those benefitting from insecurity are the ones deciding what negative decisions to deliver because if justice were to be done, the well-orchestrated and heavily funded attacks and demonisation of his person and his lofty mission would no longer resonate with the public.
“Onyendu MNK urged the public to read all court decisions and judgements pertaining to him and IPOB to understand that what the law says is not what is being done. He insists that his trial is a sham designed to destroy truth and justice.”
Recall that Justice Binta Nyako of the Abuja High Court had, mid-last year, recused herself from the matter, but the matter, after some time, was reassigned to her amidst protests by Kanu and his legal team.
