The last may have not been heard of the legal tricks and delay gimmicks employed by the Federal government of Nigeria as another showdown of game of shame in the Nigerian judiciary is in the offing.
Just when he is getting out of the euphoria of Justice John Tsoho’s dance of shame which led to his withdrawal from the case, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra cum Radio Biafra Boss, Nnamdi Kanu, may be in for another round of judicial quagmire as another judge of the Federal High Court Abuja division, has finally taken up his case file. We sincerely hope this will not be the case but the chances are high and irresistible.
Information reaching the news desk of BIAFRA WRITERS, has it that Justice Binta F.M Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja has been assigned by the CJN to preside over the case of the detained leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu and has fixed the date for hearing to hold on November 8, 2016, the same date Kanu’s legal team and the federal government would be slugging it out at the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice in Abuja, the latter having failed to appear in the initial scheduled date of 26th September, 2016.

The assigning of Kanu’s case file to another judge in itself is not a problem but what appears deeply worrisome is its assigning of the case to a Northern judge from the same home state as the President himself who is the Chief Prosecutor in this case even as she has already took off in a troublesome style by fixing the date of the proceeding, the same day meant for the ECOWAS court hearing.
More worrisome and disturbing is the news flying on social media that Justice Hajiya Binta Nyako who was appointed judge on 28th July, 2000 would have been among those judges that were recently arrested, over the sum of 2 million US Dollar bribe she allegedly collected from Jide Omokore to grant a scandalous and unmerited bail to the oil magnate who stole over 6 billion US Dollars from Nigeria on the 8 of July 2016, but was spared on the condition of her convicting and putting behind bars the IPOB leader for life and that she has already started by fixing the date for her hearing of the case, the same as that of the ECOWAS court.
