Judge
Threatens To Adjourn Kanu’s Trial Indefinitely.
Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja
has threatened to adjourn indefinitely the trial of the leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra Nnamdi Kanu should he insist on further delaying
the commencement of the trial.
Earlier, Kanu’s lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor had stated some
conditions to be met by the court for his client to submit to trial.
Some of the conditions were that the bail earlier granted
him should be restored; he should be relocated from the custody of the
Department of State Services and he should be allowed free access to his
lawyers to enable him to prepare for his trial.
The prosecuting lawyer, Adegboyega Awomolo objected to
Ejimakor’s requests, describing them as frivolous vexatious irritating, and
unmeritorious.
Justice Nyako fixed the ruling on the requests by Kanu’s
lawyer for May 20 but insisted that progress must be made in the case on
Wednesday by allowing the prosecution to open its case by calling witnesses.
