US Lawyer Threatens Sanctions Against Nigeria, Alleges Compromise

A United States of America-based lawyer and counsel to detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), NNAMDI KANU, BRUCE FEIN, has threatened to push for sanctions against Nigeria over alleged human rights abuses. 

FEIN, who spoke shortly after the trial of KANU was adjourned to Jan 19, 2022 by Justice BINTA NYAKO of the Federal High Court, alleged compromise in the trial of KANU Abuja.

He also threatened to take Nigeria to the international court over alleged human rights abuses.

The US lawyer added that when the attention of the court was drawn to the fact that they were outside the court protesting about what happened, the court, rather than calling attention of the lead counsel to find out what was going on, went ahead to discuss with KANU.

However, EJIOFOR speaking with journalists stated that KANU's lawyers did not walk out on the court but were prevented by security operatives from accessing the courtroom.
