Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has condemned the prolonged detention of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and the postponing of his trial indefinitely.
Sani said it’s unfair to keep Kanu in a prolonged detention.
Posting on X, the former Kaduna lawmaker said injustice is not the way to justice.
According to Sani: “Keeping a man in prolong detention and postponing his case indefinitely is totally unfair.
“I know there are sentiments and fears but injustice is not the way to justice.
“A problem can’t be solved by stopping the clock. I have been in prolong prison to know the pains and anguish of isolation.
“Until you experience the cell you will never know the cell. Just my personal view.”
This comes as Justice Binta Nyako of the Abuja Federal High Court adjourned Kanu’s trial “sin die” yesterday.
Last year, Justice Nyako had recused herself from Kanu’s trial after the IPOB leader demanded that she should step down from his case.
But the Chief Justice of the Federal High Court, John Tsoho had refused to reassign Kanu’s case to another judge, while ordering Nyako to continue with the trial.
Kanu is facing terrorism charges leveled against him by the Nigerian government over his push for the actualization of Biafra.
