Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, has said that the federal government will allow the pan Igbo social-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo to fully witness and monitor the trial of self-acclaimed Biafran leader, Nnamdi Kanu, in the terrorism charges against him.<\/p>\n

Malami disclosed that the federal government has nothing to hide in the trial and as such will allow the law to take its course in the trial that will soon commence.<\/p>\n

The AGF made the position of the federal government public in a statement issued on Monday by his Special Assistant on media and public relations, Dr Jibrin Umar Gwandu.<\/p>\n

Fulani businessmen working with Igbo elders to infiltrate Nnamdi Kanu\u2019s legal team \u2013 Ohanaeze<\/p>\n

The statement read in part, \u201cThe Attorney General of the Federation welcomed the formation of Legal team by Ohanaeze Ndigbo to monitor the proceedings at the trial of the self-acclaimed IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu which is in line with the doctrine of the right of fair hearing rooted in Section 36 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria<\/p>\n

\u201cInherent in the position of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo on the matter was the demonstration of their recognition of belonging to Nigeria and succumbing to the rule of law while maintaining their stance that they were not averse to the trial of Nnamdi Kanu.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a similar vein, the group showed a mature departure from the mindset of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra when Ohanaeze said they \u201cdo not support the use of any form of violence\u201d while channeling concerns and presenting demands.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy urging the youths to be law-abiding and sheath their sword as well as asking them to try to obtain voter\u2019s card to enable them contribute to national development, the position of Ohanaeze becomes glaringly constitutional and commendable.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet it be made abundantly clear that President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government respects the rule of law and does not advocate for the breach of law.<\/p>\n

Buhari govt respects Nigerian constitution, rule of law \u2013 AGF Malami<\/p>\n

\u201cHence, with or without the so-called monitoring group, justice will be adequately served to Nnamdi Kanu in compliance with the enshrined provisions of the law.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is hoped that the unnecessary legal monitoring group will come with open-mind and be guided by nothing but the rule of law in the process so as to convey the judgment of the Court as may eventually be delivered to their people in various languages and dialects of the members of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo communities and the entire Nigerians,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
