Nnamdi Kanu’s wife reacts to husband apology in court

Uchechi Kanu, the wife of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, has revealed reasons behind her husband’s apology in court on Friday.

In a statement signed by her and obtained by our correspondent on Saturday, Mrs. Kanu explained that the presence of her husband’s new legal counsel, Chief Kanu Agabi, played a crucial role in addressing the courtroom developments before Justice Binta Nyako.

“In court today, my husband, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, acknowledged the necessity for Chief Kanu Agabi, SAN, the new lead counsel, to address the court of Justice James Omotosho regarding what transpired at Binta Nyako’s court, which shook the foundations of the Nigerian judiciary,” the statement read.

She further emphasized that Chief Agabi, a former Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, stepped in to smooth over tensions that had arisen from Kanu’s past courtroom outbursts.

“Chief Agabi, stepping into Onyendu’s brief, acted to smooth over the ruffled feathers in certain segments of the bar and bench, caused by Onyendu’s legitimate, anger-fueled outbursts against Justice Binta Nyako’s court, which led to her recusal,” she stated.

Mrs. Kanu also highlighted that Justice Omotosho, who presided over the matter, acknowledged the delays in Kanu’s case and apologized for the prolonged legal ordeal he had endured.
