IPOB have noted with great shock that the same Binta Nyako that has been running from Justice on the cases involving the Indigenous People of Biafra was so fast and courageous to dismiss the charges against members of Boko Haram, the 4th most dangerous terrorist group in the world.
Realizing the courage displayed by Binta Murtala-Nyako, IPOB have charged her in like manner, to do justice to IPOB the same way she did to Boko Haram suspects.
The leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra who berated the Nigerian government for being sentimental on IPOB court cases, seriously frowned at the perversion of justice in the case between the Nigerian government and members of the Indigenous People of Biafra who have been illegally detained in Kuje prison.
The press statement signed by the IPOB media and publicity secretary read:
The Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) hereby wish to acknowledge Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako for the uncommon courage she demonstrated days ago in dismissing terrorism charges against two Boko Haram suspects on grounds of lack of diligent prosecution by the office of the Attorney General of the Federation.
We consider this a landmark decision that not only binds her court in all similar cases but should also serve as an example to other courts before whom such prosecutorial misconduct continues unabated, especially with regards to IPOB members (Benjamin Madubugwu, David Nwawusi, Bright Chimezie Ishinwa & Chidiebere Onwudiwe) languishing in detention since 2015 without trial.
More particularly, we expect the Honorable Justice before whom Charges have been pending against four of the above IPOB members, including our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, to do justice and likewise dismiss said Charges.
