Wetin dey happen? The Legal Aid Council don pack their load comot from representing Nnamdi Kanu, the IPOB oga. Dem talk say e dey try dictate how dem go handle im case, and dat one no be wetin dem fit gree follow.
For Abuja court, Justice James Omotosho don yan say dem no fit continue with Kanu’s application wey sabi move am from Sokoto Correctional Centre go one wey dey close to FCT. Legal Aid Council lawyer, Demdoo Asan, talk say dem try reach Kanu family, but dem no show face. Wetin you go expect from relatives wey no wan show for court, abi?
Asan no gree keep am quiet, e talk say Kanu wan turn am to puppeteer for court, dey control wetin im go talk. “Abeg, I no fit allow that; I no go make mockery of the court,” na wetin Demdoo yarn. Dem don agree say as client, Kanu no go fit dey control court matter while e dey inside cell.
As e dey play, Kanu don already collect life sentence for terrorism matter back on November 20, wey him family dey vex about, dem dey plan to appeal. Na so Kanu rush file for the court November 8, 2025, geway he wan shift his base, propose Suleja Correctional Centre or Keffi for his own comfort.
But when the matter reach court, Justice Omotosho no shake. Dem don strike out the whole application like say e no even exist. Omotosho dey reason say since dem no show any proof wey go confirm anybody don collect the notice, the matter no make sense at all. More wahala don land for Kanu as e don fire im legal team before, plus dey no wan join him for legal brawl.
When Kanu dey try represent himself during trial, na so wahala start; e don dey clash with the judge like say dem dey basket ball court. He dey shout, “You no sabi law!” while him dey clutch him papers, dey act like say na him dey gree everything. The judge dey plead make him find lawyer, tell am say, “This one no be economics na criminal case! Abeg, make you get sense, you need help.”
But Kanu no wan hear word, him dey too sharp for him own good. Now, wetin we fit gather be say, Oga Kanu dey face serious wahala and e don scatter him own defense, hoping sey go fit find way out of this gbege wey no fit finish anytime soon.
