The trio of Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu, Mazi Benjamin Madubugwu and James Nwawuisi has for long being standing
trail on six counts of treasonable felony charges. The leader of Indigenous
people of Biafra, Mazi Namdi Kanu had been arrested Oct 2015 following the
drive to seek for the independence of Biafra.
Chuks Muoma is the lead counsel representing the trio
.During the hearing today the 20th of Jun at the federal High Court
of Abuja, Chuks said that a new layer in the person of Amobi Nzelo had been introduced
to represent Madubugwu without his knowledge. This he described as an affront
to him declaring that my appearance in this case will be conditional’’
according to Daily Post. He told the court to adjourn the trail so as to allow
the new layer to study the documents relating to the ongoing trail.
The presiding Judge, adjourned the trail to 26th September
which has not been the very first time the trail had been adjourned. Judge John
Tsoho had faced serious criticism from Biafrans for failing to uphold the
judiciary process which had resulted in massive worldwide demonstration. It was
also reported Mazi Nandi Kanu appeared in court in a shocking attire where he
wore a bracelet inscribed ‘I Love Biafra.This not his first time of appearing
in attires that are customized with different Biafra emblem.
Biafrans all over the world had demonstrated previously
demanding for the republic of Biafra which was forcibly annexed to Nigeria in
1914.Although it was re-annexed in 1970 after a bitter war that left millions
dead, Biafrans has always been demanding for their republic inspite of the
means/medium used by the Nigerian gov’t to keep the country as one.
