Buhari Allegedly Ordered Justice Binta Nyako Letter Not To Order Kanu’s Release by ArabMopol(m): 6:21am On Nov 25, 2016 |
The Indigenous People of Biafra
has alleged that President
Muhammadu Buhari is working
tirelessly to influence Justice
Binta Nyako, IPOB said that he is
adamant that Nnamdi Kanu will be
bailed only when he wants or
orders”.
Biafra intelligence team wrote to
the media wing in their weekly
debriefing. To buttress their claim;
they further cited some actions
that have been taken so far by
Buhari. “We intercepted a letter
signed by Buhari himself and
delivered through the DSS; urging
Justice Binta Nyako to release
Nnamdi Kanu only when he wants,
claiming that the matter is beyond
the Court” they said and promised
to dig deeper.
“They have invited her on
numerous occasions and when
she declined; they went to her
home but she declined to open up
to them. She is denying them
access and they are angling for a
desperate measure to conform
her.
The letter was sent after she
declined all their advances, a
letter with presidential seal and we
were unable to get a copy for
documentation after much effort.
The Judge strongly feels that
there is no argument that can
continue to keep Nnmadi Kanu in
detention. The counter affidavit to
the Court only has national
security threat phrase, which was
merely said and cannot be
buttressed; that was evident that
Nnamd Kanu will be granted bail
and that is why the pressure is so
much and we fear she might not
stand it” the report further
disclosed.
“There is pressure on Justice
Binta Nyako; she has tried to fight
down and avoid some calls and
appointments, she has tried to be
unbiased but we cannot assure
anything. Buhari is trying
everything he could to make sure
Nnamdi Kanu’s case is influenced
and he seems to be getting his will
done.
The trial Judge blatantly refused
to caution the security forces who
forcefully stopped the public and
Biafran Journalists from coming
into the Court with devices to
capture what is going on in the
Court” the report said.
“The failure of the trial Judge to
stand her ground on ordinary
issue like that shows IPOB leader
might be in for another war
against corruption just as Tsoho
was fought. There might have
been a compromise; arresting and
harassing Journalists that came to
the Court without the Court
reacting to that is a bad omen. I
also heard reports about the
Judge; where she was unfair to
the counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, not
allowing them to land any time
they are on a high. It is a
disturbing thing; to me there is
nothing or reason to keep holding
Nnamdi Kanu in detention. He
should be released and this will
give room for political resolution;
the Court to allow Buhari to use it
is very disturbing” a practicing
lawyer who doesn’t want his name
in print said when approached by
this reporter.
Part of the efforts to influence the
trial of Nnamdi Kanu was to
ensure media blackout to give
Buhari the friendly platform to do
anything he wants. According to
an unconfirmed report; it was said
that Buhari has ordered Nigeria
press to ensure total media
blackout which was purportedly
adhered to.
Speaking over the phone on a live
radio program with the Deputy
leader of IPOB; the Biafran
Journalists that participated or
updated the Court case noted that
no Journalist from Nigerian media
was present in the Court like
before. They wondered why a case
that used to have Journalists from
almost all the Nigerian
mainstream media suddenly
stopped.
Meanwhile; the Biafra Journalists
have done immensely well by
giving the case the needed
publicity as the fight goes on. This
media blackout has not in any
way affected the presence of
foreign observers and interest.
The charges brought against
Nnamdi Kanu by Muhammed
Buhari according to investigation
so far cannot stand; Nnamdi Kanu
was accused of treasonable felony
but the prosecution came up again
with amended charges after much
criticism of their bogus charges.
Consistently reminded that one
man cannot commit treasonable
felony that needs conspiracy to be
achieved; the prosecution boringly
attached the name of other
defendants to make up for the
criticism; a move viewed as
childish and thoughtless. “There is
virtually no evidence before the
Court to buttress the charges
against Nnamdi Kanu, we have
assessed and this is why we are
disturbed that the Court allowed
such matter and yet find it hard to
grant us bail, we will oppose any
form of corruption, all we need is
justice and we must see it
dispensing” a lawyer who is
unofficially standing for Nnamdi
Kanu said.
It is believed that Buhari has lost
the case hence he has declined to
morally or ethically follow up the
matter; using the Court corruptly
became inevitable. Nnamdi Kanu
as a political prisoner or a
prisoner of conscience needs
judicial control to be achieved. It
is believed that Buhari will stop at
nothing but influence Justice
Binta Nyako to continue his illegal
detention of Nnamdi Kanu.
Speaking on the situation; Bruce
Don, a political analyst based in
Germany said “It is unfortunate
that in 21st Century; we are
talking about political prisoner,
more regrettable, it is happening
in a country believed to be the
most civilized of all African
Countries. Shouldn’t we hold the
Judiciary responsible? Watch
closely and you will see the
Judiciary was not prepared. When
Nigeria elected a past dictator
with much sentiment that he could
be a threat to democracy; the
Judiciary ought have brace up and
get ready; by virtue of this
lingering case; the Judiciary has
failed”
Buhari has refused to obey Court
orders that released Nnamdi Kanu
unconditionally; in his maiden
media chat; he unequivocally
noted that he would not obey or
release Nnamdi Kanu. This was an
affront to the Judiciary and with
the confidence such statement
was made; Buhari was certain that
he owns or rather controls the
Judiciary. The President has no
power to make such statement
and with the continued detention
of Nnamdi Kanu; it means that
separation of power is not quite
practiced.
The reasons upon which bail was
previously denied became open
that Buhari is corruptly engaging
the matter.
Bail granting was expected to
effect last two weeks when
Nnamdi Kanu appeared before
Justice Binta Nyako but there was
adjournment to 1st December.
This frustrating adjournments has
been viewed by many as a move
to get permission if she should
grant the bail or not. Buhari on the
order hand had sent Southeast
Senators to meet Nnamdi Kanu
and discuss on his possible bail
but bereft of unconditioned. It is
widely believed that the Judiciary
has lost the power to do justice to
the case but to some; there is
confidence in Justice Binta Nyako
comes 1st December.
While 1st December is expected to
mark the end of the shambolic
trial that has done more harm
than good to Nigerian State and
led to killing of hundreds of
peaceful and lawful Biafran
protesters who demonstrate for
justice to be done through
unconditional release of Nnamdi
Kanu, it is crucial to note that
there is hurdle against justice.
Justice Binta is under intense
pressure to deny bail application
even when there is no reason left
to continue to hold Nnamdi Kanu;
whether she succumbs or triumph
to the pressure will be seen on
1st December.
