Bruce Fein, the lawyer for the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, in the United States, has written to the Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
He warned the group not to play the legal game, pointing out that Nigeria intends to imprison Kanu indefinitely without trial.
The letter, dated May 31, 2022, was addressed to George Obiozor, President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, and was made available to journalists on Tuesday by Kanu's Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor.
In the letter, Bruce Fein of the Bruce Fein Law Firms in Washington DC exposed alleged Federal Government plans to imprison Nnamdi Kanu indefinitely without a trial and pray for his death.
"It has become clear beyond a reasonable doubt that the Fulani zealots have no evidence against him." They intend to imprison Nnamdi Kanu indefinitely without trial, praying for his death or handing over his fraudulent prosecution to the next administration and washing their hands like Pontius Pilate," according to a portion of the statement.
"For nearly a year, Nnamdi Kanu has been punished by indefinite detention in solitary confinement and denied access to needed nutrition, medical care, and counsel of choice in violation of international human rights law and the Nigerian Constitution." (The Fulani government is notorious for honoring the Constitution in violation rather than in observance.) Nnamdi Kanu has also been denied his right to a public, prompt, and fair trial before an impartial judge.
“The Fulani have amended the charges against Nnamdi Kanu three times. They remain infinitely vague. They trespass on the universally recognized international law right of every people to self-determination exalted in Article 1 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and Article 3 of United Nations General Assembly Resolution 61/295, Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007). Notwithstanding armies of lawyers and investigators, the Fulani remain unprepared for trial after the elapse of more than 11 months since Nnamdi Kanu’s detention in Abuja. There still is no trial date.”
Fein, Nnamdi Kanu's international lawyer and spokesperson, also warned Ohanaeze to "face up to your legal and moral responsibilities as self-proclaimed Biafran leaders." When danger appears, do not show your heels.
“To whom much is given, much will be required. Luke 12:48. All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men and women to do nothing.
“Nnamdi Kanu is one of you – born on the same soil, raised on the same food, buoyed by the same music and dances, and nurtured by the same culture, inspired by the same flag. He has risked that last full measure of devotion (including dodging bullets of would-be assassins) to deliver the Biafran people from the cruel oppressions and genocide of the Fulani-controlled Government of Nigeria like Moses and Pharaoh in the Old Testament.”
On May 25, 2022, the prosecution reached a new low, according to Fein, who added, "A bail hearing had been set by Justice Binta Nyako for May 26. Bail was denied based on the absurd theory that Nnamdi Kanu previously jumped bail in September 2017 when he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt by exercising his inalienable right to self-preservation when Nigerian security forces riddled his residence with bullets, killing many others. Nnamdi Kanu was awarded 5 billion naira by an Abia High Court for that egregious and well-documented violation of fundamental rights.
“The day before the bail hearing, Justice Nyako announced through the court Registrar that she had become “indisposed” and had adjourned the case another month to June 28, 2022. Couldn’t the Justice concoct a better excuse, like affliction with Covid? “Indisposed” means a mild illness that passes in days. A more likely explanation is that Attorney General Abubakar Malami, acting on the instructions of President Muhammadu Buhari, ordered Nyako to again postpone the proceedings because the prosecution has no case.
“Depend upon it. Without public denunciation of Nnamdi Kanu’s continued political persecution thundering like a hammer on an anvil demanding his release and a dismissal of the manufactured charges with prejudice, the June 28 bail hearing will also be postponed ad infinitum. Nnamdi Kanu’s cruel punishment without trial will persist in notorious violation of the Nigerian Constitution and international law.
“You collectively, have a legal and moral duty to speak out publicly against this travesty of justice that daily inflicts great misery on the Biafran people. Do not become traitors to the noble cause. Risk a tiny fraction of what Nnamdi Kanu has risked to regain Biafran sovereignty. It was stolen by the British over a century ago and the Fulani have refused to restore it by resorting to genocide.
“Silence is not acceptable. Neutrality between the firefighter and the fire is not an option. You cannot escape the judgment of history. Show you are made of sterner stuff than quislings.”
Remember the criminal conspiracy involving Nigeria and Kenya, Nnamdi Kanu was kidnapped, tortured for several days, and extraordinary renditioned from Nairobi to Abuja in June 2021.
Fein advised, “The conspiracy was part of an ongoing Nigerian genocide of Biafrans prohibited by the Genocide Convention. The aim is to exterminate them through killings, rape, plunder, starvation, theft of real and personal property, and a collective denial of livelihood.” https://www.regencyreporters.com.ng/2022/06/US-Lawyer-Nigeria-Wants-To-Imprison-Nnamdi-Kanu-Without-Trial.htmlLalasticlala Mynd44 Ishilove Dominique
