Aloy Ejimakor, the lead counsel for Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), announced that the legal team is prepared for the resumed trial set for Monday.
Kanu’s trial will take place at the Abuja Federal High Court. Ejimakor made this known via a post on X, stating:
“PUBLIC NOTICE: MAZI NNAMDI KANU’s case set for 20th May 2024 will hold. The Court shall convene at 12 noon. Ground zero: Federal High Court, Abuja. #MnkLegalTeam is primed & in battle array. #NoShaking.
“The #MNKLegalTeam & all conscientious people around the world appreciate the Supreme Court of Nigeria in the case of FGN v #MNK, when it held that: ‘Crime cannot be committed [by Nigerian Govt.] as a valid means of crime prevention & control.’
“When a Government [like Nigeria] established by LAW resorts to the commission of crimes [extraordinary rendition/kidnapping/criminal abduction] as a means of crime control and prevention, the RULE OF LAW becomes ENDANGERED.
“The question we ask then is: What becomes of justice, people & society when the sanctity of rule of law is destroyed by those employed to uphold it? It’s long overdue to do JUSTICE. #FreeMNK,” he asserted.
Kanu will continue his trial for terrorism at the Abuja Federal High Court following the Supreme Court’s judgment that overturned the ruling of the Appeal Court, which had discharged and acquitted him of terrorism charges.
