Lagos lawyer, Chief Goddy Uwazurike, has declared that the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and Director of Radio Biafra, is no longer judicial but political.

Uwazurike, immediate past President of Igbo think tank Aka Ikenga, made the declaration while reacting to Tuesday’s judgement by an Abuja court approving that those to testify in Kanu’s case should have their faces covered to protect their identity.

“The trial of the Radio Biafra director has lost all pretence of judicial trial. It is now a political trial in all its ramifications,” the seasoned lawyer said.

He noted that “Nnamdi is the first person to be tried in secret since 1999,” asking: “Is this a fallout of the raid on Judges?”

Uwazurike warned that “History is never kind to those who try to murder Justice!”
