AMERICAN VETERANS CALL FOR RELEASE OF NNAMDI KANU

American Military Veterans of Igbo descent have called for the prompt release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

The group expressed dismay over the continuous incarceration of Kanu, despite being freed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

This comes after a delegation from American Military Veterans of Igbo Descent visited the U.S. State Department on Friday, stating that the Nigerian judiciary has ignored rulings from competent courts, international courts, and United Nations opinions supporting Kanu’s release.

Aloy Ejimakor, the legal adviser to Kanu, said the visit has shown solidarity with the Igbo community and a call to action for the State Department to intervene in Kanu’s case.The veterans’ advocacy efforts aim to raise awareness about Kanu’s plight and push for his freedom, citing human rights concerns and the need for justice.

    I APOLOGIZE FOR MY MISCONDUCT IN COURT – NNAMDI KANU The leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has formally apologised to the Federal High Court, Justice Binta Nyako, and Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN, over his misconduct at the last proceedings of his trial on terrorism charges. He pleaded passionately for forgiveness and promised to be of good conduct throughout the duration of his trial. Kanu’s apology was contained in a lengthy prepared speech delivered by his lead counsel and former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Kanu Agabi. In the emotion-laden speech, Kanu specifically begged Justice Nyako and Awomolo to forgive and forget his outburst and attacks against them in open court. Agabi said that Kanu had cause to be angry but ought not to have spoken when anger overwhelmed him. “In expressing his anger, he attacked the Federal High Court, he attacked Justice Binta Nyako, he attacked the prosecutor, and he attacked his own lawyers. “I hereby apologise to Justice Binta Nyako. She did not deserve the unjust attack. I apologise to Chief Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN. He deserves the highest respect. He was castigated without reservations. “I appeal for forgiveness. Kanu is a good man, but all of us cannot be of one mind. He is not perfect but is defending the cause of the Igbo people, who are resilient, fearless, and use their God-given talents to give a good account of themselves. “We may have misgivings, but we must seek forgiveness. In resolving our differences, let us employ peace and not violence,” he pleaded. In a brief remark, Awomolo, SAN, said he was moved by the plea and has forgiven Kanu for all he said against him. The senior lawyer said he was not a persecutor but a prosecutor and that they work to ensure the quick resolution of the charges.

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) employed the services of Kanu Agabi, a former Attorney General of the Federal and Minister of Justice and Uchenna Njoku, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN). A two-time AGF and Minister of Justice, Agabi alongside Njoku would be joining the legal team of the detained leader of the IPOB. The team, currently led by Aloy Ejimakaor also has Maxwell Opara and Nnaemeka Ejiofor as members. Sources close to the matter said the IPOB leader who has also retained his existing team is hopeful for his court appearance on Friday, March 21. Recall that Kanu’s case had been transferred from the tables of Justice Binta Nyako to Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court 7. The IPOB leader’s case was transferred by the chief judge of the FHC, John Tsoho after he (Kanu) accused Justice Nyako of bias in his trial. Nyako, on the other hand also returned the case file to the Justice Tsoho after announcing that she would be recusing herself from the matter The application by both parties was first denied by the CJ, however, sources said that a letter to the Chief Justice of Nigeria by Ejimakor could have led to a change of decision by the leadership of the FHC who later assigned the matter to Justice Omotosho.
