Kanu’s US Lawyer Threatens To Boycott Future Trials

Bruce Fein, the United States-based lawyer to the embattled leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has hinted at boycotting all future trials if the Nigerian government refuses to hold a free and fair trial.

Fein, in a tweet on Friday, made his position known by criticizing the presiding judge, Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja,  after she denied the IPOB leader bail.

He insisted that Nyako’s handling of the case was fraudulent.

He said: “MNK’s illegal solitary imprisonment for more than one year with no trial and without a crumb of incriminating evidence adduced shows judicial proceedings are a complete fraud.”

“Time to boycott Judge Nyako until the open trial is forthcoming to expose the government’s crimes against MNK.”

Kanu had been in the detention facility of the Directorate of State Service (DSS) since June 2021 after he was arrested by Nigerian security operatives in Kenya and extradited to Nigeria where a plethora of reasonable felony charges was filed against him.
