Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the lead counsel to the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu and Aloy Ejimakor, his Special Counsel has expressed frustration over how they were treated in the court by Justice Binta Nyako which made none of Kanu’s lawyers to be present in the court room when his case was adjourned.
Ejiofor who spoke to journalists, said the lawyers were forced to storm out of the court room when they learnt that operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS), were restricting their colleagues including Igbo traditional leaders.
The lawyers had stepped out of court to confront the DSS officials as justice Nyako Binta was yet to come into the court room. Unfortunately, Justice Binta met a court room without any of Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyers. She adjourned the case to January 19 and 20, 2022.
According to Kanu’s lawyers, they had rushed back to the court room when they learnt of the Judge’s presence but met the door locked by the DSS.
Collaborating Ejiofor’s story, Ejimakor said he’s not happy and the world shouldn’t be happy stressing that what the judge did amounts 5o “travesty of justice”.
“I’m not happy. The world should not be happy. The Judge LOCKED out Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyers & refused us entry into the courtroom.
“She then arbitrarily adjourned the case to January 19, 2022. This is a travesty of justice. We will surely take urgent & decisive measures,” he wrote via his twitter account
