The team of lawyers representing the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, on Friday, said they would not oppose the adoption of a political solution to resolve the protracted case between the Federal Government and their client.
The lawyers, led by Kanu’s special counsel, Mr. Alloy Ejimakor, stressed that section 17 of the Federal High Court Act, empowered the trial judge to recommend reconciliation, otherwise referred to as “political solution” for the resolution of such matters.
“The provision of that section is not limited to civil matters alone. So, anyone that puts the issue on the table, we will consider it. Political solution makes better sense than prosecution.
“However, it is for the government to put it on the table, then we will consider it. Having said that, our duty first is to defend him and not to play politics. Right now, what is on our table is to fight for his defence.
