Nnamdi Kanu: IPOB Writes Nigerian Chief Justice Ariwoola, Calls For State Of Emergency On Judiciary, Judges’ Retraining
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has expressed concern about the Nigerian judiciary’s state under Chief Justice Olukayode Ariwoola. IPOB calls for a state of emergency in the judicial system, citing issues in the trial of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
IPOB alleges a deliberate perversion of justice in Kanu’s case, criticizing the judiciary’s inability to interpret the constitution properly. They accuse some judges of being biased against Kanu, undermining the foundation of criminal law procedure in Nigeria.
The group urges the retraining of high court judges to ensure proper interpretation of judgments and decisions from superior courts. They highlight a disturbing incident where a judge openly declared disobedience to Supreme Court rulings, inviting judicial anarchy.
Referring to a Supreme Court judgment, IPOB emphasizes the unlawfulness of the military invasion of Kanu’s home and subsequent actions by the government. They call for urgent intervention to address this judicial crisis, suggesting a state of emergency declaration and comprehensive judicial retraining.
IPOB appeals to Chief Justice Ariwoola to salvage the judiciary’s integrity, emphasizing the importance of upholding the rule of law for present and future generations. They stress that justice must prevail, not just for Kanu but for millions who may face similar injustices.
In summary, IPOB is deeply concerned about the integrity of the Nigerian judiciary, particularly in the handling of Nnamdi Kanu’s case. They advocate for immediate action to rectify the perceived injustices and restore faith in the judicial system.
