The detained leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra {IPOB},Nnamdi Kanu on Wednesday begs the Federal Government of Nigeria saying,I am willing to Negotiate.
Nnamdi Kanu took the position on Wednesday, at the resumed proceeding on the seven-count terrorism and treasonable felony charge the F.G entered against him before the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja.
Kanu’ s team of lawyers sought to explore;led by Mr. Alloy Ejimakor, notified the court of the decision of his team to explore the option, after he moved two applications that were filed by his client.
According to Kanu’s lawyer, he would be left with no option but to activate section 17 of the FHC Act, should the court dismiss the two applications he moved on behalf of his client.
“Section 17 of Federal High Court Rules, states that in any proceedings, the court may consider reconciliation and settlement,” Ejimakor said.
The Federal Government Counsel led by Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN, said he had earlier informed the defendant that he lacked the powers to embark on such negotiation since it was not part of the Fiat that was issued to him by the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice.
According to Awomolo SAN,only the Attorny General of the Federation has the powers to negotiate or take further steps in relation to the matter, noting that the case borders on alleged terrorism.
“If he is interested in negotiating, he knows the right place, the Attorney General of the Federation’s office,” Adegboyega, SAN, stated.
Justice Binta Nyako while reacting to the development said, the duty of the court was to hear the matter that was brought before it and not to act as a solicitor for any of the parties.
He said it was left for the parties to agree on the way they want the matter to go.
“If you want to discuss with the AGF, no problem at all,” Justice Nyako added.
Since Kanu’s re-arrest in Kenya on June 19, 2021 and extraordinarily renditioned back to the country by security agents on June 27, 2021,he has been in the DSS Custody till date.
