How Buhari blackmailed Justice Murtala-Nyako to jail Nnamdi Kanu

Facts have emerged how Hon. Justice Binta Fatimat Murtala-Nyako was blackmailed by President Muhammadu Buhari to jam the padlock behind the leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra [IPOB], Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

The disclosure was made by IPOB in a statement signed by its spokespersons, Barrister Emma Nmezu        and Dr. Clifford Chukwuemeka Iroanya.

In a statement titled “JUSTICE BINTA FATIMAT MURTALA-NYAKO IS A DISGRACE TO THE JUDICIARY AND COURSE OF JUSTICE”, the IPOB spokespersons narrated in acrid details how President Buhari pull off the stunt.

According to the report, President Buhari “has written four letters to Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako concerning Nnamdi Kanu. 

“In one of the recent letters, Buhari reminded Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako that her eldest son was implicated in a fraud involving her husband. 

“The letter which was personally signed by Buhari stated that probe would commence into the activities of her son unless she jails Nnamdi Kanu before Mr. Donald Trump’s inauguration on the 20th of January 2017.”

IPOB also revealed that on the night of the same day of her gaffe, the judge had a dinner at the Presidential Villa with Buhari. 

It could be recalled that different judges have washed off their hands of the case with at least three of them granting bail or discharging and acquitting him unconditionally.

IPOB, therefore, was non-committal when it lamented the fact that Justice Murtala-Nyako denied bail for Nnamdi Kanu.

The group also decried the Justice’s statement that Buhari’s prejudicial statement on Nnamdi Kanu’s case during his Presidential media chat of December 30, 2015, was a mere comment from a private citizen which he (Buhari) is entitled to as part of his fundamental human right. 

It wondered how a president of a nation could be referred to as “a private citizen” even though he is the primary agent of the constitution.

IPOB, therefore, put the world on notice “that this female Judge lacks basic understanding of her job as well as the capability to differentiate between a private citizen and a public servant at the level of the President of a country.”

IPOB asserts: “It does not come to us as a surprise that on December 13, 2016, Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako was blackmailed into delivering the ruling for the secret trial of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.”

The pro-Biafrans then went ahead to elaborate on highly suspicious matters that bares the evil in Justice Murtala-Nyako:

1. that Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako is one of the four wives of Mr. Murtala Hamman-Yero Nyako, a retired Naval officer and an impeached governor of Adamawa state who is currently being prosecuted along with his son (Abdul-Aziz Nyako) for stealing over 29 billion naira.  

2. that Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako is the wife of a terrorist in the person of Mr. Murtala Hamman-Yero Nyako who harboured no fewer than five hundred Fulani mercenaries trained in Sudan and imported into the state at the border village of Typsen in Toungo Local Government Area of Adamawa State.

3. that Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako is being fingered on the mysterious death of Justice Evoh Chukwu of Federal High Court Abuja who was initially presiding over the case of fraud and stealing against her husband and her son. 

“She should confess her culpability in the death of Justice Evoh Chukwu whose life she terminated in order to save her terrorist husband and thieving son,” they alleged.

4. that Murtala Hamman-Yero Nyako had in October 2012 sent the name of his wife, Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako of the Federal High Court, to the National Judicial Commission (NJC) as his nominee for state Chief Judge but the request was thrown out by the NJC. 

IPOB reckons that “It smacks of hypocrisy that Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako’s husband who is a known terrorist and big thief was granted bail but she refused to grant bail to non-violent persons such as Nnamdi Kanu and other Biafrans.”

It concludes: “With all these affronts on ethics and the Constitution, Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako has the temerity to continue to serve as a Judge in a Nigerian Court!
