IPOB: Group Demands Justice Nyako’s Resignation Over Secret Trial of Kanu

Irked by Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako’s rul­ing on Wednesday that embattled leader of In­digenous Peoples of Bia­fra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu be put on secret trial, the members of the group have called for her immediate res­ignation
IPOB which described the ruling as “a disgrace to the Judiciary and the course of justice” said it had lost confidence in Justice Nya­ko, hence the need for her to hands off from the matter.

This position was con­tained in a press statement issued yesterday by IPOB Spokesperson, Clifford Iroanya, and Emma Nmezu.
“We no longer have con­fidence in her adjudication on the matter concerning Nnamdi Kanu and the oth­er Biafrans. She should hon­ourably resign”, the state­ment stated.
IPOB also alleged that the refusal of Justice Nyako to grant bail to Kanu who had never taken up arms against Nigeria was only a confir­mation that she was acting a script by the Federal Gov­ernment.
The pro- Biafra group fur­ther alleged that the Presi­dency had instructed Nya­ko to ensure Kanu was tried and jailed before the inaugu­ration of the US President- elect, Donald Trump on Jan­uary 20.
