We are most shocked at her obvious (alleged) prejudice and bias during the last court proceedings which resulted in her whimsical adjournment of the case to January 19 and 20, 2022.<\/p>\n<p class=\"amp-wp-7d27179\" data-amp-original-style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cJustice Binta Nyako is engaging in judicial rascality and impunity at the behest of the Federal Government of Nigeria aimed at keeping our leader in perpetual detention without trial. This rascality only portrays that Binta Nyako is simply playing the script handed over to her by the Fulani caliphate of which she belongs to.<\/p>\n<p class=\"amp-wp-7d27179\" data-amp-original-style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe wish to express our displeasure with Justice Binta Nyako\u2019s handling of this case. How can a defendant be on trial without legal representation? Justice Binta Nyako has always wanted to conduct a secret trial of this high-profile case which concerns the personal liberty and human rights of the accused.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"amp-wp-7d27179\" data-amp-original-style=\"text-align: justify;\">The group alleged that the long adjournments and what seemed like open bias and doing the bidding of the DSS had eroded the confidence of the accused in the neutrality of the judge handling the case.<\/p>\n<p data-amp-original-style=\"text-align: justify;\">It added, \u201cJustice Binta Nyako has given us sufficient reasons and grounds to doubt her ability to give justice and fair hearing to our leader considering the manner the judge has been going about this case.<\/p>\n<p class=\"amp-wp-7d27179\" data-amp-original-style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cLocking out the legal representatives including one of our leader\u2019s counsels from the United States, Bruce Fein, from the courtroom has only exposed Justice Binta Nyako\u2019s biased and prejudiced disposition to this case before her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"amp-wp-7d27179\" data-amp-original-style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cOne thing the judge must understand is that we are determined in our irrevocable resolve to actualise Biafra. No amount of intimidation, persecution or prejudice by the oppressors or their agents can derail our match to freedom and the ultimate restoration of the Sovereign State of Biafra.<\/p>\n<p class=\"amp-wp-7d27179\" data-amp-original-style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cOur elders, traditional rulers, religious leaders and political elite who are begging IPOB to soft-pedal must take serious note of the travesty and shenanigans playing out in Justice Binta Nyako\u2019s Courtroom.
