Her husband and son are facing corruption charges, and the government has assured her that if she convicts me, they will help them,” Kanu claimed. Why Kanu Insists on Nyakos Recusal”Theres a breach of judicial oath. The court has shown bias, according to the Supreme Court,” he said. “The Supreme Court already ruled that my bail should be restored. The Nigerian government went to Kenya and kidnapped me. These facts are well known. Why then are they insisting on trying me?” Kanu asked. “A court order was issued stating clearly that she is no longer to try me. Why are they forcing her to continue? It is because they have no case against me and they know it,” he said.Criticizing the Judiciary’s Handling of the Case”The prosecution and the court dont understand the law. This is part of the problem in Nigeriapoor knowledge of the law is damaging the country,” he said. “This is a federal gazette law that states the Chief Judge of Nigeria cannot dictate Justice Binta Nyakos actions. It is right here in the lawjust follow it,” he insisted. Kanu rejects Nyako’s authority”She has recused herself and cannot preside over my case anymore. I only came here today out of courtesy and respect,” he said. Soludo reacts to opposing Nnamdi Kanus release
