Chief Maxwell Opara Ph. D, provides an update after visiting Mazi Nnamdi Kanu at the Medium Correctional Centre in Sokoto.
He wrote…
“Despite the challenges posed by his present circumstances, he remains confident that GOD ALMIGHTY is with him and will continue to support him. He is also acutely aware that the struggle for freedom often involves intimidation, arbitrary court orders, attacks from adversaries of freedom, hatred, and envy.
He has instructed all supporters, enthusiasts, Lovers of Freedom, dedicated lawyers and consultants, as well as the Igbo community at large, to stay focused and not be distracted by social media posts and analyses—often sponsored by his opponents—who interpret a case they have neither participated in nor reviewed thoroughly, thus neglecting the judicial misconduct committed by the judge.
May I advise everyone to relax, as since Thursday, when the embarrassing judgment was delivered together with his subsequent transfer to Sokoto, we have not settled down to give full details of what happened. We are still busy with some other pressing tasks and in no distant period, we shall package the full analysis of all that transpired in the trial with the full certified record of proceedings of the trial, the names of all exhibits tendered which the Judge refused to evaluate and ignored in his funny judgment, the motions filed together with the exhibits which the judge refuses to take but turned around to make reference to them during his judgment.
After the analysis with facts and documents, you will now be the judge, yourself. Before you read or share anything written by anyone in this matter ask the person if he has seen the record of proceedings of the matter! The full record of proceedings will certainly show you how a judge left the case presented before him and the testimony of the prosecution witness, and be talking about another issue of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu represented himself, I may not go into that in public I can say that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu never sacked Chief Kanu Agambi led legal team rather they left an understanding reached with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and he has instructed that no one should comment on that issue.
Finally, I want to assure you that the Court of Appeal will definitely set aside the judgment that was predicated on anger and hatred, and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will be set free”.
