Nnamdi Kanu’s wife explains why her husband apologized in court

Mrs. Uchechi Kanu, wife of Nnamdi Kanu the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has explained the reasons behind her husband’s apology regarding the events that transpired in Justice Binta Nyako’s court.

Mrs. Kanu took to X (formerly Twitter) to give her explanation. According to her, Kanu’s new counsel, Chief Kanu Agabi, demanded that he address the court regarding the events at Justice Binta Nyako’s court, which she said shook the foundations of the Nigerian judiciary.

“In court today, my husband, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, acknowledged the necessity for Chief Kanu Agabi, SAN, the new lead counsel, to address the court of Justice James Omotosho regarding what transpired at Binta Nyako’s court, which shook the foundations of the Nigerian judiciary.”

She said these clarifications were duly delivered by Chief Kanu Agabi, SAN a towering figure, twice Attorney-General, twice Minister of Justice, and a former Senator.

According to her Chief Agabi, stepping into Onyendu’s brief, acted to smoothen over the ruffled feathers in certain segments of the bar and bench, caused by Onyendu’s legitimate, ang3r outbursts against Justice Binta Nyako’s court, which led to her recusal.

Mrs. Kanu added that Chief Kanu Agabi’s stature made it necessary; he could not represent Onyendu without restoring the decorum expected of the Abuja bench and the judiciary as a whole.

Also, Justice James Omotosho, who presided over the matter, also apologized to Onyendu for the prolonged delays and mishandling of his trial over the years, acknowledging his ordeal at the hands of the Federal High Court in Abuja.

”Chief Agabi spoke in his own personal capacity, and his vision for an amicable resolution (dialogue) and peaceful co-existence. It is not rocket science.” She said

Recall that Kanu busted out in anger in Justice Binta Nyako’s court over his prolonged case and also apologized for it.
