Nnamdi Kanu apologises over attacks on judge and others

Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), on Friday, March 21, tendered an apology over his recent verbal attacks on the Federal High Court and Justice Binta Nyako.

Kanu, through his new counsel and former Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Chief Kanu Agabi, SAN, also apologised to the Federal Government’s lawyer, Chief Awomolo, SAN.

The IPOB leader equally apologised to his team of lawyers earlier led by Aloy Ejimakor for also attacking them while before Justice Nyako. Kanu tendered the apology through his lead counsel, Chief Agabi, before Justice James Omotosho, the new trial judge.

Upon resumed trial, Agabi sought the court’s permission to deliver a message on Kanu’s behalf. He said he had already discussed the development with the lawyer to the prosecution and Justice Omotosho granted the application.

Justice Omotosho had fixed March 21 for the trial of Kanu. The judge fixed the date after the case file was transferred to him.
