The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has formally apologized to the Federal High Court, Justice Binta Nyako, and Chief Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN, for his misconduct during the last proceedings of his trial on terrorism charges brought by the Federal Government.

Kanu’s apology was delivered in a prepared speech by his lead counsel and former Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Mr. Kanu Agabi, SAN. The IPOB leader expressed regret for his outburst and attacks against the court, Justice Nyako, and the prosecution team, pleading for forgiveness and promising to maintain good conduct throughout the trial.

In the emotional address, Kanu acknowledged that while he had reasons to be angry, he should not have allowed his emotions to dictate his actions. “In expressing his anger, he attacked the Federal High Court, Justice Binta Nyako, the prosecutor, and even his own lawyers. I hereby apologize to Justice Binta Nyako. She did not deserve the unjust attack. I also apologize to Chief Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN. He deserves the highest respect and was castigated without reservations,” Agabi stated.

He further emphasized the importance of resolving differences through peaceful means, urging all parties to seek forgiveness and avoid violence.

In response, Chief Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN, expressed his forgiveness, stating that he was moved by Kanu’s plea. He clarified that his role was not to persecute but to prosecute, and he pledged to work towards a swift resolution of the case.

Meanwhile, during his re-arraignment on Friday, Kanu pleaded not guilty to the seven-count terrorism charges, which include allegations of threatening Nigeria’s corporate existence and operating an illegal radio station to broadcast pro-Biafra messages. The proceedings took place under tight security provided by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS).

The trial, now before Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja, continues as Kanu seeks to clear his name while maintaining a commitment to peaceful conduct.
