LABARAN, JUSTICE BINTA NYAKO ON THE RUN.
The proceeding ran thus at exactly 12:24 pm immediately after the appearance of honorary.Justice Binta Nyako{Mrs},by a flow of introduction of the case bordering the whereabouts of the leader of the indigenous people of Biafra, citizen Nnamdi Kanu{POC}followed by introduction of both councils as led by S.M Labaran who is appearing for the State, Barr.Ifeanyi Ejiofor and co, appearing for the defendants and of course, the council appearing for the sureties. Also representing is Barr.Ibrahim appearing for the Chief of Amy staff,Turkur Buratai.On the commencement of the proceeding,Barr.Ifeanyi Ejiofor who is defense council, stood up and let the court know that the sureties are in the court ready to narrate their ordeal leading to the whereabouts of Nnamdi Kanu. Going further, one of the council appearing for the sureties, prayed with some quotations of the law,praying that the court should please allow the sureties to speak before the court on why Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has not been in the court since he was granted bail.Barr.Labaran on his adumbration decided to divert the proceeding,stated that the court should as a matter of justice, initiate an order for the first defendant whom according to him is setting the processings backward to appear before the court to enable the fast commencement of his tria with every possible means known by law. In a more dramatic manner, Barr.Ifeanyi Ejiofor,the led council of the indigenous people of Biafra, rose before the court and challenge the praying made by Barr.Labaran who as matter of his praying, are diverting the purpose of the business of day. While he was proceeding,it came as a surprise when Labaran stood up to say he was not aware about what today's proceedings is all about. He further said that he was not served while Barr.Ejiofor insisted that he was served properly on time.While the fight is going on,the presiding Judge, hon.Justice Binta Nyako angrily says that she can't allow such drama to continue in his court. She therefore urge the two councils to settle within themselves for it seems like they are not yet ready for the case.Funny enough, before the blinking of an eye,the prosecutor as represented by Barr.Labaran Shaibu who is suppose to stay back for the commencement of the bail applications tabled before the court disappeared followed by the judge. It came as a shock to Barr.Ejiofor who were jotting down the date of the adjournment only to raise his face and see both the prosecutor and Justice Binta Nyako no more.
Very unfortunate that the case bordering the bail applications of innocent Biafrans who has been in detention facilities for the period of three years recording can no longer be heard,due to the dramatic disappearance of both the prosecuting council and the judge.Most alarming is that, the life of Benjamin Mmadubugwu who have been seriously ill are in danger languishing in prison custody without either trial, granted bail nor applying any form of medical attention.As the ugly drama unfolds, it is now more clearer to humanity that there is a conspiracy between Nigeria government and of course, her totally compromised judicial system to eliminate our brothers in their custody.Nigeria Judiciary is indeed an International Disgrace. Nigeria has a total failed Judiciary system, that can only be fixed by total Disintegration of Nigeria.Binta Nyako absconded from Court and refused to hear the Bail Application, on a bailable charge, where the Applicants have been detained for Three Years without justice.Are you surprised a Judge absconded from court, while trial was still ongoing, without giving a proper date for adjournment? It happens in Nigeria Judiciary system.The lead counsel Barrister Ejiofor after showing his disbelief over the illicit act of the Judge and Prosecutor, was able to secure 13th April 2018 with the Court Clerk, for hearing of Bail Application.How on earth can a Legal Representative stain the white cloth of justice, by repeatedly playing the Sharia script handed over to her by Fulani Islamic cabals, which is against even the Nigeria constitution?
Self Determination is accordance with the charter of United Nations, which Nigeria is a signatory to. Why then will Biafran activists be detained for Three Years on bailable charges, without Bail and frequent lengthy adjournments.Indeed Biafrans are loosing their patience and the structure might not be able to, calm their nerves.
The International Criminal Court must take note of the illegality act of the Nigeria Judiciary, against The Indigenous People Of Biafra and accord Hope to the Common Man.

IPOB Trial: “DSS has copy of my gun license,” Benjamin Madubugwu thunders as court declines to hear bail applications
•Says I’m being prosecuted because of my Biafran identity
ABUJA— There was a heated outburst today inside the courtroom of the Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja, by the four IPOB defendants as the court ended its proceedings without calling up their bail applications for hearing.The court had earlier slated today to adopt the bail applications of the four defendants namely, Bright Chimezie, Benjamin Madubugwu, David Nwawuisi and Chidiebere Onwudiwe whose charges were amended at the previous session.Visibly angered about the development, the second defendant, Benjamin Madubugwu, said he believes the case is no longer between the Federal Government of Nigeria and IPOB members but between the Fulanis and IPOB, adding that his application was deliberately delayed becausr he is a Biafran.“I know why this is happening to me because I am an Igbo man, a Biafran, that is why it’s like this.“All these herdsmen killing people everywhere in Nigeria, how many have been arrested? Am in prison, I’ve not seen them in prison.“Why would someone put me in prison for 3 years without telling me my crime? How can they charge me for unlawful possession of firearms when I have license? It was duly licensed. You(DSS) have a copy of the license. Go and ask the DSS when they invaded my house, they took the copy of my gun’s license and they know, yet, they’re still keeping me hostage,” he lamented.
Madubugwu added that for over three years he has been detained without trial, the international community remained silent in his plight even as his health condition deterioriates in prison custody.He asked, “Why is the world keeping quiet? Nobody wants to hear me out. Nobody wants to help me. Is it because we’re Biafrans? Why are we being neglected? What is my crime for Christ’s sake? I have been keeping quiet for long and I would no longer keep quiet. This is pure injustice.”However, as they(defendants) refused to return to prison custody pending when a new date to consider their application is fixed, it took the intervention of thr defense lawyers led by Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor to calm down the restiveness and charged atmosphere created by the aggrieved defendants.The court, however, finally slated April 13, 2018, to adopt their bail applications.
