Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Ifeanyi Ejiofor, lead counsel to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu has said all is set for the secessionist to reappear in court to continue his trial next week.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued on Friday, Ejiofor expressed optimism that the outcome of the next proceeding would be favourable to Kanu stressing that the secessionist is in high spirits to appear before Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court Abuja.<\/p>\n

The statement claimed Nnamdi Kanu\u2019s detractors will be comprehensively humbled and permanently put to shame after the next court session.<\/p>\n

It said, \u201cIn the course of the visit, our discussions focused primarily on our final preparations for the legal battle that would resume on the turf of the Federal High Court, Abuja Judicial Division, from next week and on subsequent adjourned dates, if any.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe coalesced the product of our individual reflections on the most potent legal strategies henceforth to be adopted, fine-tuned and harmonized them, and then distilled them into a single, conclusive, potent, workable formula.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are optimistic that the court outings of Onyendu would be impressive. Onyendu himself is in high spirit.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will all behold with your eyes an interesting dimension in the harmonized workable formula we have evolved.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe detractors of Onyendu will be comprehensively humbled and permanently put to shame. Further, Onyendu utilized the opportunity afforded by our visit to mandate us to admonish his teeming supporters and followers\u201d.<\/p>\n
