Nnamdi Kanu’s wife reacts to husband’s apology to Justice Nyako, gives detailed explanation

Uchechi Kanu, the wife to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has explained why her husband apologised to Justice Binta Nyako over his outburst during his trial.
The IPOB leader’s wife said the status of Kanu Agabi, the new counsel for Kanu demanded that some of the events that took place during the trial under Justice Nyako be addressed.
According to Uchechi, her husband’s encounter with Nyako and his subsequent reaction shook the foundations of Nigeria’s judiciary.
Her words, “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.”
She stated that there was need for the new counsel, Kanu Agabi (SAN) to address these issue to ease off tension over the already ruffled feathers.
“These clarifications were duly delivered by Chief Kanu Agabi, SAN—a towering figure, twice Attorney-General, twice Minister of Justice, and a former Senator.
“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 added.
Uchechi added that the new lead counsel made it clear that he could not represent Kanu effectively without restoring decorum in the court.
In addition to Agabi’s apology on behalf of the IPOB leader, the newly appointed judge, Justice James Omotosho also apologised for the prolonged delays in his trial.
“Chief Agabi’s intervention was strategic, balancing Onyendu’s fury with the dignity of the court,” Uchechi said.
