Nnamdi Kanu Vs Binta Nyako: Details Of What Transpired In Court (22173 Views)

(1) Go Down)

KEVIND: 1:45pm On Feb 10
BACKGROUND
On September 24, Nyako recused herself from Kanu’s case after an oral application by the defendant

“I hereby recuse myself and remit the case file back to the chief judge,” she had said.
Kanu directly told Nyako that he no longer had confidence in her handling of his trial.
However, John Tsoho, chief judge of the federal high court, returned the file to Nyako on the ground that Kanu’s application must be formally brought before the court through a motion on notice.

Consequently, in a letter dated December 5, 2024, and addressed to the deputy chief registrar, Adegboyega Awomolo, the prosecution counsel, asked the court to fix a date for the commencement of trial.

Opposing the request for a trial date, Aloy Ejimakor, Kanu’s counsel, in a letter dated December 9, 2024 said the ruling of the judge recusing herself remains valid.
Subsequently, Ejimakor asked that the case be transferred to a federal high court in the south-east if no judge in Abuja is willing to preside over it.

ROWDY COURT SESSION
At the resumed session on February 10, Awomolo told the court that the prosecution counsels have filed and served all necessary processes in the suit and that they were ready to proceed with trial.

However, Ejimakor insisted that was not the issue before the court.
Nyako explained that although she does not want to preside over the case, the chief judge has refused her recusal and directed the defendant to file a formal motion asking for a reassignment of the case to another judge.

While the lawyers in the suit argued over whether a formal motion was required, Kanu interjected: “I want to speak”, he hollered.
Asked by the judge if he wanted to take over from his lawyer, the defendant said: “Yes, I want to take over.”

The separatist said he was only in court because of the respect he had for the court, but that Nyako no longer had the jurisdiction to preside over his case following her recusal in September.
Raging at the prosecution counsel, Kanu said: “A grown-up man like you who should be in the village and who should be making sure that things are done properly is here subverting the law.”

Addressing the judge, he bellowed: “I don’t recognise the authority of this court to preside over my case. Everything you said here is meaningless to me.
“Why is it that when it comes to my case, everything is turned upside-down?”

He said the memo sent by the chief judge returning the case file to Nyako cannot override the enrolled order of the court made on September 24.

Told by the judge that he was at liberty to appeal the directive of the chief judge, Kanu said: “If the chief judge disagrees, he should appeal the decision.

“You cannot preside over this case, not now, not today, not ever. You stand recused and you must leave my case. I don’t need you in my case. You are biased. Tell the chief judge that Nnamdi Kanu said so.
“This is not a court of law, this is a shrine to injustice and I will not subject myself to it.”
In his submission, Awomolo asked the court to fix a date for trial.

“In view of the fact that the defendant has indicated that he would not make a formal application, I apply that your lordship gives us a definite date for trial,” Awomolo prayed.

“Because of money they are paying you from the AGF’s office, a grown-up man like you is here ing evil. The rule of law says you should go on appeal,” Kanu replied.

“The same chief justice writing this stupid memo, I have recused him before. He sat on appeal, I took him to NJC and recused him. Why is he insisting on this one? He wants to embarrass your lordship by asking her to sit on this case.”

In her ruling, Nyako said: “The only decision I can make right now is that in the light of what is happening now in court, I am going to adjourn this case sine die (indefinitely).”

“You have no jurisdiction to adjourn anything. None whatsoever. You cannot make an order without jurisdiction. The memo from the chief judge cannot confer jurisdiction upon you,” Kanu barked at the judge.

KANU Nnmadi has now turned into a dog, barking in court. Whatever his strategies, he must still obey the court authority, and the case has been adjourned indefinitely.


And, again, perhaps DSS provided him with a comfortable place to stay during his detention....so he can still.Keep blabbing and ranting in court.

If this happened in Russia, I trust Putin. By now, he may regret his existence.

We are watching this case in 3-D...I believe.

I'm not Lawyer, but if a defendant no longer has confidence in the judge trying him, he can ask that another judge take over the case

Why are they insisting that Justice Nyako must be the one to try this case?

God bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu a prince that love his people and sacrificed his position because of his love for his people.




He could have been enjoying his life in London or even in Nigeria as a prince.


Some pray to Leave Nigeria and enter London, even if nah to dey wash plates they're good.
But a honourable Prince sacrificed everything.






If Nigeria is a better country or will be a better country, there won't be Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in this scenario.

That miscreant and his horde of useless partners are truly disappointed that today's proceedings took this turn.

It's now Obvious that Nnamdi Kanu doesn't even give a darn about his freedom and he believes truly in fighting for BIAFRA that he believes in!!

I am earnestly proud of being an IGBO person and I will boast about his resilience and fortitude even in the midst of bloody cunt faced vastards like APC miscreants from SW..and their affiltae partners from other states

Nnamdi Kanu has shown TENACITY and GUTs!!

My GUY in the State Department here in USA was the person that forwarded the videos to me .

People in TRUMPs cabinet were actually looking at this Case and now Nnamdi Kanu has exposed NIGERIA again.

Just imagine..they had to PUT OFF THE LIGHT, while he was addressing the Press Corp!!

That country NIGERIA..is a disgrace..

BIAFRA is obviously gaining traction that is why all these hurried arrangements are being packaged

Anyway..we are doing our bit here and I do hope others will do theirs..

BIAFRA is a MUST...the ZOO must drown!!!

Upon all the gragra in the court, the judge still aded the case indefinitely; the terrorist should adjourn the case to next week by himself if he is sure. The terrorists will eat enough beans in the prison.

Our people said, "Nkita chi ya choro Igbu, o mee ya anughi isi nsi". The gods want to punish Nnamdi Kanu, and I am happy with what is going on.
I am hoping that the court make an example of him for disruptive behavior. If everyone continues to shout on judges in court, then our judicial system will be destroyed. The court is a place where everyone must show humility. President Tinubu had stool trial, Buhari went to testify in court 2 weeks ago. They didn't disrupt proceeding, nor accused the court of illegality. There is an appeal court and Supreme court stages available for Kanu to exercise his right, but in his over bloated ego and characteristics mannerlessness which he has employed to set up IPOB-ESN terrorist organization, he has continued to toe the line of self destruction.

I feel very sorry for Nnamdi Kanu's lawyer, imagine trying to make your client look sympathetic while that client is screaming at the judge even telling those begging on his behalf not to beg.

It screams lack of rehabilitation, proof that he will surely repeat the madness all over again.

His legal team are seriously trying.

This goes to also show that the Politicians that deceived Nnamdi Kanu's brother and stage managed all the statements ing his release didn't even have the blessings of Nnamdi Kanu himself.

What matters now is that he has once again exposed the NIGERIAN STATE and it's beautiful that the internet has showcased the fact that NIGERIA is a complete farce of a Nation and a ZOO.

I love how he said that He doesn't Need TINUBUs pardon and that everything should go through the COURT system because he knows that NIGERIA already erred in arresting him illegally.

As for the Yoruba and their sidekicks from uhrobo . itsekiri..Auchi .ughelli..and even Northerners .Nnamdi Kanu has shown the resilience of an IGBO man

We ain't shaking..from now henceforth NIGERIA will understand..

We Move!!

His freedom is not in your worthless TINUBUs hand.

TINUBU has just set Sunday IGBOHO up indirectly.

You shallow brained nuisances don't even know what will become of you after TINUBU.

I thank God that he has cleared that useless notion of begging for his FREEDOM!!!

He is not begging for his right...

Bloody COWARD

Don't cry, fulani is no one citizens in Nigeria while iPob are 2nd class citizens in Nigerian, so fulani are the superiority to anybody in alaigbo region.

For your information, the Sharia court has come to stay in South West and if you are not satisfied, you can follow Nnamdi Kanu to eat beans in prison
