Have you read that Nnamdi Kanu has requested a 90 day extension to his trial? He is apparently enjoying his time in detention, because that keeps the flow of his “fundraising, he gives orders for”.
The court gave him seven days, but he said he wants 90 days. 90 days might translate into one year or more.
This motion is nothing short of ridiculous. It is part of the gambits of the Afara-Ukwu born “Biggest Destroyer of Igbo Land” to keep the trial endless. Believing against hope that maybe, Peter Obi would become President and order a termination of his trial and get him released, to walk away and dance on the graves of the thousands who lost their lives.
He brought a frivolous motion, listing officials of government, including, critical officers, whom he knows, do not have anything to do with him. These are people who worked on his matter, including the former AGF, who was his principal prosecutor.
Remember, every single one of these individuals he asked to be listed as his witnesses, are, or were officials of the Federal Government of Nigeria, hence, none of them has a case against Nnamdi Kanu, on personal basis, and everyone of them, by their official responsibilities, are part of the prosecution against Nnamdi Kanu.
Nnamdi Kanu knows that he does not have a defence for the thousands of deaths he caused in Igbo land, for the trillions of Naira worth of investments and properties, he incited their destruction, for the many grievous atrocities and terrorism for which he stands trial. But he is incorrigible.
Earlier, he had filed another motion seeking to disqualify Justice James Omotosho from continuing to preside over his trial. I know that this isn’t going to work. I do not need to be a lawyer to know that there should be limits to such mischiefs in the judiciary.
If he had the slightest humanity in him, he would have pleaded guilty and let this matter go to bed, but he would rather, the entire Southeast goes to blazes, and our entire population deceived into self-destruction than that he supports and action or idea that would bring an end to the distortion he brought upon our land.
Responsible lawyers have all walked away from the case because they do not want to allow themselves to be ridiculed and their professional reputation tarnished because one empty megalomaniac.
Nnamdi Kanu’s trial must be concluded and within the shortest possible time. His motions will be heard, argued and I expect them to be thrown away. The court cannot continue to allow one hooligan to hold her to ransom while sending his goons all over the place to blackmail the judiciary.
