00:00:00,360 –> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Just as winter in Yako of Federal High Court setting

2
00:00:03,240 –> 00:00:05,599
in Abuja has withdrawn from the case of the ten

3
00:00:05,719 –> 00:00:09,599
Biafra leader, Nambe Cano after the trial could not commence

4
00:00:09,679 –> 00:00:13,240
on Tuesday following the Biafra leader’s personal confrontation with the

5
00:00:13,320 –> 00:00:17,160
judge for the second time this year. In Namdiknu cited

6
00:00:17,280 –> 00:00:20,960
Nigeria Supreme Court rulings and sections of the Nigeria laws

7
00:00:21,000 –> 00:00:23,920
to insist that the West Africa country lacked the legal

8
00:00:23,960 –> 00:00:28,199
statles to prosecute him for offenses he allegedly committed in England,

9
00:00:28,640 –> 00:00:33,640
United Kingdom. According to Unambi Canu, the nine count charges

10
00:00:33,679 –> 00:00:36,799
were offenses he allegedly committed while he was in the

11
00:00:36,920 –> 00:00:40,399
United Kingdom, but the Federal Government of Nigeria has been

12
00:00:40,439 –> 00:00:43,200
playing smart with the case by thus always switching the

13
00:00:43,240 –> 00:00:47,240
locations he was when they alleged crimes were committed in,

14
00:00:47,359 –> 00:00:51,799
Nadikanu said. Before the federal government said he committed the

15
00:00:51,880 –> 00:00:55,079
offenses when he was in England, but after presenting his

16
00:00:55,159 –> 00:00:58,399
defense in line with previous Supreme Court rulings and some

17
00:00:58,640 –> 00:01:02,479
sections of the Nigeria laws, the government changed the location

18
00:01:02,640 –> 00:01:08,079
to Nigeria, Naldiknu said, looking at the impatality of the trial.

19
00:01:08,159 –> 00:01:12,319
George Justice Winter in Yako, he cannot continue with the

20
00:01:12,319 –> 00:01:16,680
shenanigans of the federal government and the court, insisting it

21
00:01:16,760 –> 00:01:19,439
is Nigerian law that says the court can’t try him

22
00:01:19,439 –> 00:01:22,640
because the alleged offenses were not committed when he was

23
00:01:22,680 –> 00:01:26,599
in Nigeria. In Naldi, Canu said he has already spent

24
00:01:26,760 –> 00:01:29,760
four years in the detention facility of the Department of

25
00:01:29,799 –> 00:01:34,000
State Services the SAS, and if he spent another one

26
00:01:34,079 –> 00:01:36,560
year in the tension will not kill him. Waiting for

27
00:01:36,640 –> 00:01:40,120
the Chief Judge of the Federal Capital Territory f City

28
00:01:40,239 –> 00:01:45,040
to reassign the case to another George insisting what matters

29
00:01:45,120 –> 00:01:48,280
is justice and the law court must obeient all the

30
00:01:48,319 –> 00:01:51,799
decisions of the Nigeria Supreme Court of Justice and stop

31
00:01:51,879 –> 00:01:55,040
obeying burning the ones that are against him while ignoring

32
00:01:55,079 –> 00:01:59,200
the ones that favoled him. In Naldiknu said the persecution

33
00:01:59,359 –> 00:02:03,000
of Ingo Pi Poo will stop with him, adding he

34
00:02:03,120 –> 00:02:07,000
is a freedom fighter only fighting against the continuous persecution

35
00:02:07,159 –> 00:02:11,360
of his people. Details of the court proceedings as reported

36
00:02:11,400 –> 00:02:15,080
by pont newspaperdes Does as the resumed hearing in the

37
00:02:15,120 –> 00:02:18,120
trial of the leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra

38
00:02:18,680 –> 00:02:22,599
in Nambekani at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday,

39
00:02:23,199 –> 00:02:26,240
Justice winter In Yaku said she was going to refuse

40
00:02:26,280 –> 00:02:30,439
herself from the trial. Recused, as defined by the Lord

41
00:02:30,439 –> 00:02:33,960
Dot’s con Dictionary, means to refuse to be a judge,

42
00:02:34,280 –> 00:02:36,719
or for a judge to agree to a request by

43
00:02:36,840 –> 00:02:39,719
one of the parties to step aside in a lawsuit

44
00:02:39,879 –> 00:02:42,960
or appeal because of a conflict of interest or other

45
00:02:43,080 –> 00:02:47,439
good reason acquaintanceship with one of the parties, for example.

46
00:02:48,240 –> 00:02:52,000
It also applies to a judge or prosecutor being removed.

47
00:02:52,400 –> 00:02:55,800
In Yako’s response to refuse herself from the trial followed

48
00:02:55,840 –> 00:02:58,680
Canyon’s request in the open court that the trial judge

49
00:02:58,719 –> 00:03:01,840
refuals herself from his trial since she has refused to

50
00:03:01,879 –> 00:03:05,439
obey the orders of the Supreme Court. Calo is being

51
00:03:05,520 –> 00:03:09,199
prosecuted by the Federal government on a cevil count bordering

52
00:03:09,280 –> 00:03:13,479
on terrorism. Calus stated that he had lost confidence in

53
00:03:13,520 –> 00:03:16,400
the court and that the trial judge should refuse herself

54
00:03:16,439 –> 00:03:21,240
from his trial. Meanwhile, Justice Ijako replied that she will

55
00:03:21,319 –> 00:03:24,560
be happy to do just that. She added that she

56
00:03:24,599 –> 00:03:27,479
would be sending Klu’s case file back to the Chief

57
00:03:27,560 –> 00:03:31,680
Judge for it to be reassigned. Meanwhile, Cano ordered his

58
00:03:31,840 –> 00:03:35,680
counsel allowyer J. Mcle to sit down. While he was

59
00:03:35,759 –> 00:03:38,759
trying to persuade the court to suspend the trial on

60
00:03:38,800 –> 00:03:41,919
the basis that his client was delayed the opportunity to

61
00:03:41,960 –> 00:03:46,400
prepare his defense. Calu referred to the Supreme Court judgment

62
00:03:46,439 –> 00:03:50,719
where alleged by us against the judge was raised. Sit down,

63
00:03:51,080 –> 00:03:54,319
I say you should sit down, Calo had yelled at

64
00:03:54,360 –> 00:03:59,080
his lawyer. Speaking further, he said, my lord, I have

65
00:03:59,240 –> 00:04:02,680
no confidence in this court any more and I ask

66
00:04:02,759 –> 00:04:05,639
you to refuse yourself because you did not abide by

67
00:04:05,680 –> 00:04:09,879
the decision of the Supreme Court. I can understand it

68
00:04:10,400 –> 00:04:13,360
if the d SS refuses to obey a court order,

69
00:04:13,759 –> 00:04:16,360
but for this court to refuse to obey an order

70
00:04:16,360 –> 00:04:20,000
of the Supreme Court is regrettable. I am asking you

71
00:04:20,040 –> 00:04:25,240
to refuse yourself from this case. The prosecution Council Adebuyega

72
00:04:25,279 –> 00:04:30,519
Awamulu San however, tried to urnt Justice in Yaku to

73
00:04:30,600 –> 00:04:34,079
proceed with the trial, but she responded that she had

74
00:04:34,120 –> 00:04:37,920
been minded to refuse herself from the case. I hereby

75
00:04:38,000 –> 00:04:41,000
recuse myself and remain the case file back to the

76
00:04:41,079 –> 00:04:45,160
Chief George. She declared, we had reported and made this

77
00:04:45,319 –> 00:04:48,199
year that in a rare case in the history of

78
00:04:48,319 –> 00:04:52,120
legal proceedings in the world. In nam Dekani, the the

79
00:04:52,240 –> 00:04:55,759
ten leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra i pomp

80
00:04:55,800 –> 00:04:58,800
helped himself at the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja

81
00:04:58,839 –> 00:05:00,959
on Monday and played the role of a lawyer with

82
00:05:01,040 –> 00:05:04,600
full energy and violgrant command of words with fairless loud voice,

83
00:05:04,639 –> 00:05:08,399
defended himself with first to first confrontation with the trial George,

84
00:05:08,800 –> 00:05:12,439
Justice vinter In Yako and the Federal Government Prosecution Council

85
00:05:12,800 –> 00:05:18,079
Ade Muyega Alamolu. Namdi Kanu Wine confronting the George, asked

86
00:05:18,279 –> 00:05:21,079
Justice vinter In Yako ye colde she be conducted his

87
00:05:21,199 –> 00:05:24,439
trial contrary to the provisions of the laws of Nigeria

88
00:05:24,519 –> 00:05:29,360
and international treaties which Nigeria is signatory to. A voice

89
00:05:29,360 –> 00:05:32,000
of Justice vinter In Yako code be held in the

90
00:05:32,079 –> 00:05:35,680
video posted online trying to respond to Unamdi Knu quaries.

91
00:05:35,720 –> 00:05:39,079
Both the commanding voice and continuous marshaling of words with

92
00:05:39,279 –> 00:05:42,600
historical citation of facts and sections of the laws by

93
00:05:42,720 –> 00:05:46,639
Unambdi Canu suppressed the voice of the George. The video

94
00:05:46,720 –> 00:05:49,720
shows in Namdi Canu speaking at a corridor in front

95
00:05:49,759 –> 00:05:52,519
of a mini office inside the court room, where Justice

96
00:05:52,680 –> 00:05:55,920
nter In Yako was inside listening and tried to respond

97
00:05:55,959 –> 00:05:59,639
to the de ten BAREFRA leaders confrontations and allegations of

98
00:05:59,720 –> 00:06:06,680
injice and intimidation. Namdiknu, according to BBC, also confronted the

99
00:06:06,680 –> 00:06:12,000
Federal Government prosecution lawyer Adebuyega Alamolo and called him a terrorist.

100
00:06:12,839 –> 00:06:17,000
Karo pointed at f G lawyer Adebuyega Alamolo and said

101
00:06:17,079 –> 00:06:20,920
in court, does you are a terrorist? You know gets

102
00:06:21,040 –> 00:06:25,120
power to try me? Nande Cano actions and reactions began

103
00:06:25,240 –> 00:06:28,600
when the trial George, just as mentor in Yako denied

104
00:06:28,639 –> 00:06:32,279
him well or refused to grant him house arrests. The

105
00:06:32,360 –> 00:06:35,519
court ruling forced Namdi Canu to raise his hand and

106
00:06:35,639 –> 00:06:40,279
insisted of addressing the court himself. Nalde Cano on Monday,

107
00:06:40,360 –> 00:06:43,480
after the Federal High Court setting in Abuja dismissed his

108
00:06:43,600 –> 00:06:46,199
French bal application for him to be removed from the

109
00:06:46,279 –> 00:06:51,000
Department of State Service DSS, while speaking with news reporters,

110
00:06:51,360 –> 00:06:54,399
said that Nigerian court seeking to try him is committing

111
00:06:54,439 –> 00:06:59,800
an art of terrorism. Naldikanu condemned Nigerian government for allegedly

112
00:07:00,040 –> 00:07:04,199
relating the provisions of Terrorism Prevention and Prohibition up by

113
00:07:04,240 –> 00:07:08,120
seeking to try him. Justice Mentor in Yako had on

114
00:07:08,199 –> 00:07:12,040
Monday dismissed Canon’s fresh applications seeking the restoration of his

115
00:07:12,160 –> 00:07:15,439
revoked bell and his removal from the DCEs custody to

116
00:07:15,560 –> 00:07:20,560
a house arrest or prison custody. Justice in Yako dessed

117
00:07:20,600 –> 00:07:24,160
the application for lacking in merit and wrote that Kanu

118
00:07:24,279 –> 00:07:28,319
had brought the same application before the court. Reacted to

119
00:07:28,360 –> 00:07:31,439
the claim that the Supreme Courts ruling in twenty twenty

120
00:07:31,519 –> 00:07:35,120
three indicating that Canon did not jump well, Justice in

121
00:07:35,199 –> 00:07:38,360
Yako said that she found as a fact that the

122
00:07:38,439 –> 00:07:41,920
appolider jumps the bell granted to him earlier and that

123
00:07:42,079 –> 00:07:46,040
he escaped out of Nigeria. Justice in Yako, in her

124
00:07:46,120 –> 00:07:48,759
ruling said that the shots who stood for Canoe in

125
00:07:48,800 –> 00:07:52,639
the earlier girl had applied to be discharged and had

126
00:07:52,680 –> 00:07:55,519
been discharged on the ground that the courd not locate

127
00:07:55,600 –> 00:07:59,639
Canu and did not know his whereabouts. Justice Mentor in

128
00:07:59,759 –> 00:08:02,800
Yako stated further that the only option left for Canu

129
00:08:02,959 –> 00:08:05,000
was to go to the Court of Appeal and should

130
00:08:05,000 –> 00:08:08,519
proceed to the Appellate Court to exercise his right of appeal.

131
00:08:09,279 –> 00:08:11,720
The Judge of a roll the claim of Canus led

132
00:08:11,800 –> 00:08:15,240
Council that the Supreme Court held that the earlier bell

133
00:08:15,360 –> 00:08:20,120
granted him out not to have been revoked. According to

134
00:08:20,160 –> 00:08:24,000
the judge, she has ferules the Supreme Court judgment copy

135
00:08:24,399 –> 00:08:28,000
and did not see the claim by Canu’s lawyer. Helped

136
00:08:28,040 –> 00:08:31,879
by the ruling, Calus said that section two three f

137
00:08:32,279 –> 00:08:36,399
of Terrorism Prevention and Prohibition Act provided that any court

138
00:08:36,480 –> 00:08:39,960
seeking to try him was committing an act of terrorism.

139
00:08:40,399 –> 00:08:43,840
Carlo insisted that he did not jump bill earlier granted

140
00:08:43,879 –> 00:08:47,159
to him and that no Nigerian court could try him.

141
00:08:47,600 –> 00:08:51,919
Terrorism Prohibition Act says, I cannot be tried in Nigeria.

142
00:08:52,120 –> 00:08:54,720
I can never be tried in any court of law

143
00:08:54,799 –> 00:08:59,360
in Nigeria. That is what the law says. Anybody coming

144
00:08:59,440 –> 00:09:02,399
to try me is a terrorist. That is what the

145
00:09:02,480 –> 00:09:07,240
law says. Section two three EARTH of Terrorism Prevention and

146
00:09:07,360 –> 00:09:10,519
Prohibition Act says that any curt trying to try me

147
00:09:10,679 –> 00:09:14,240
is committing an art of terrorism. You cannot be a

148
00:09:14,320 –> 00:09:17,200
lent a treaty that Nigeria and turned into and come

149
00:09:17,279 –> 00:09:20,799
to try that person. It is not done anywhere in

150
00:09:20,879 –> 00:09:25,000
the world. That is why there is all these ridiculous delays.

151
00:09:25,240 –> 00:09:28,240
The Supreme Court said that I did not jump, well,

152
00:09:28,759 –> 00:09:31,759
my home was embedded. They came to kill me and

153
00:09:31,879 –> 00:09:35,799
I survived. They came to Kenya to kidnap me, brought

154
00:09:35,840 –> 00:09:38,440
me back to this country and seeking to try me,

155
00:09:38,960 –> 00:09:42,600
which the law says cannot happen. You cannot be lent

156
00:09:42,720 –> 00:09:45,480
a treaty that Nigeria and turned into and hope to

157
00:09:45,559 –> 00:09:49,279
stand on that illegality to conduct a trial. It is

158
00:09:49,320 –> 00:09:53,960
not done anywhere in the world, no exception whatsoever. Section

159
00:09:54,120 –> 00:09:58,759
twelve of the Constitution Nigeria says that any treaty ratified

160
00:09:58,799 –> 00:10:03,000
by Nigeria becomes the law. You cannot change it. It

161
00:10:03,000 –> 00:10:06,799
doesn’t matter what they’ll do. All these shenanigans is just

162
00:10:07,000 –> 00:10:11,600
feel rubbish. I believe in finance and justice. Can you

163
00:10:11,639 –> 00:10:12,440
state it in.

164
00:10:16,039 –> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 2: It won’t happen. It doesn’t happen that way at all.

165
00:10:21,679 –> 00:10:24,279
These are the things that the public must understand. Most

166
00:10:24,320 –> 00:10:27,200
of you journalists, the legal correspondence, you don’t take time

167
00:10:27,240 –> 00:10:31,799
to actually study, so this wilings and judgment, go and study.

168
00:10:31,840 –> 00:10:40,879
In fact, I’ll give you I’ll do that because I

169
00:10:40,879 –> 00:10:46,440
think she’s a bit judgment from she can. I want

170
00:10:46,480 –> 00:10:50,120
to let the whole world understand something very very clear

171
00:10:50,960 –> 00:10:53,120
in all this, This is judgment of the Supreme Court.

172
00:10:53,840 –> 00:10:56,799
It’s made it very clear. But even that, the impartiality

173
00:10:57,480 –> 00:11:04,279
of the George is question on ever, and it’s here

174
00:11:05,919 –> 00:11:08,480
there is a please do bear with me. It says

175
00:11:08,480 –> 00:11:11,639
it here. What is it that against? Where?

176
00:11:11,759 –> 00:11:13,639
Speaker 1: Where? Where? Where?

177
00:11:13,679 –> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 2: It says all these things are online. This is an

178
00:11:17,000 –> 00:11:19,919
objecting all these things are online. So I suggest that

179
00:11:19,919 –> 00:11:22,399
the journalists in this country actually take out time to

180
00:11:22,519 –> 00:11:25,000
do some basic research. It’s not difficult.

181
00:11:25,120 –> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: Just minor research.

182
00:11:26,600 –> 00:11:30,159
Speaker 2: You will understand the vacuousness, the emptiness of all the

183
00:11:30,200 –> 00:11:35,000
chadges against me. They kept, they kept switching the charges.

184
00:11:36,159 –> 00:11:39,080
They said, I committed this crime in England, isn’t it?

185
00:11:39,679 –> 00:11:44,279
I made breakers in England and in nine charges leveled

186
00:11:44,320 –> 00:11:48,879
against me. This place where I committed this crime was London,

187
00:11:48,919 –> 00:11:52,080
in the United Kingdom. When my lawyers came to see me,

188
00:11:52,919 –> 00:11:56,279
I had a discussion with them about how I’m going

189
00:11:56,279 –> 00:11:59,879
to defend myself. I told them that no court in

190
00:12:00,080 –> 00:12:04,480
Nigeria has this diction to try me because because since

191
00:12:04,480 –> 00:12:07,240
this affairs was committed in England. So that said, there’s

192
00:12:07,320 –> 00:12:09,440
only a UK court that can give an I gurnant

193
00:12:09,440 –> 00:12:13,240
court to the authority to proceed. Isn’t it based on that?

194
00:12:13,480 –> 00:12:16,320
There now amended the charge again? Have you moved from

195
00:12:16,360 –> 00:12:20,559
the location of the location of the broadcast? Fans worried

196
00:12:20,639 –> 00:12:26,000
to section one one seventy four of the caros in

197
00:12:26,080 –> 00:12:30,200
prevention in violation of their own laws, in violation of

198
00:12:30,200 –> 00:12:31,919
their own loss. And you want me to stand trial

199
00:12:32,000 –> 00:12:34,600
under circumstance? Is that possible? And I’m the kind to

200
00:12:34,600 –> 00:12:37,480
stand trial where these managines are going on, It’s not possible.

201
00:12:38,360 –> 00:12:41,039
Speaker 1: You’ve asked Justice been Tutu recuse herself. Do you have

202
00:12:41,200 –> 00:12:44,240
a ten million hands for the case to go to

203
00:12:44,279 –> 00:12:47,159
the CJ for experience center another judge?

204
00:12:47,559 –> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 2: As long as justice be done at the end of

205
00:12:49,200 –> 00:12:55,080
the justice to I cannot be tried in violation of

206
00:12:55,080 –> 00:12:58,639
the key provision of the Constitution of Nigeria, Section thirty six.

207
00:12:59,000 –> 00:12:59,799
That’s impologize.

208
00:13:00,399 –> 00:13:03,759
Speaker 1: But she’s saying the part making reference to was it

209
00:13:03,840 –> 00:13:06,440
contributor to st thing that one of the justices.

210
00:13:07,600 –> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: The Concession of Nigeria says any determination made by the

211
00:13:11,039 –> 00:13:14,399
Supreme Court is binding on a lower court. So I

212
00:13:14,399 –> 00:13:19,279
was actually surprised that a high court have refused to

213
00:13:19,399 –> 00:13:22,960
obey or abide by the determination of the Supreme God

214
00:13:23,000 –> 00:13:26,759
judgments and then take me only a part that is

215
00:13:26,840 –> 00:13:31,919
again and then refused to apply it. This charity thing

216
00:13:32,240 –> 00:13:35,519
of what was contained in the Supreme Court judgment is

217
00:13:35,519 –> 00:13:38,440
what I’m against. It should be implemented holistically.

218
00:13:38,840 –> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: I’m not.

219
00:13:42,159 –> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 2: Against me, but there cannot be any trial when key

220
00:13:45,799 –> 00:13:49,720
sections of the Constitution and a key Supreme Court judgment

221
00:13:49,919 –> 00:13:51,720
has been valided by a court of law.

222
00:13:52,679 –> 00:13:55,279
Speaker 1: So you’ll be patient for the case to go back

223
00:13:55,320 –> 00:13:55,960
and come.

224
00:13:55,759 –> 00:13:58,519
Speaker 2: Back to This is my fourth way in solitary compartments

225
00:13:58,559 –> 00:14:01,000
and attention. If they will not killing me?

226
00:14:01,639 –> 00:14:04,519
Speaker 1: Sorry, what it is? Many of that? The last one

227
00:14:04,519 –> 00:14:06,799
that’s question, the one as question reference to what she

228
00:14:06,879 –> 00:14:09,840
has asked to carry and justice Winter Madive know that

229
00:14:10,000 –> 00:14:13,200
she’s one of the senior judges in this court.

230
00:14:13,639 –> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 2: What is and I have respect and love for her.

231
00:14:16,000 –> 00:14:18,039
Speaker 1: You know what if this case comes back to her

232
00:14:18,080 –> 00:14:18,480
because she.

233
00:14:18,440 –> 00:14:26,039
Speaker 2: Said this, this persecution of the evil people, this orchestrated

234
00:14:26,639 –> 00:14:30,240
almost global persecution of the people, stops with me. It

235
00:14:30,240 –> 00:14:33,039
cannot happen. It can never happen. That is why we

236
00:14:33,080 –> 00:14:34,639
do what we do. That is why I do what

237
00:14:34,720 –> 00:14:37,360
I do. I am compelling for the freedom of my

238
00:14:37,440 –> 00:14:40,159
people because of the persecution of the pers that’s not

239
00:14:40,399 –> 00:14:47,279
of that, nothing more, nothing less,
