Buhari appointed his sister to try Kanu's case - IPOB
- IPOB rejected the appointment of Justice Binta F.M Nyako
- The pro-Biafra group insisted that Kanu would not get fair trial with the appointment of the judge

The Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) has raised alarm over what it described as plans by President Muhammadu Buhari to destroy Nnamdi Kanu by appointing Justice Binta F.M Nyako to decide his case.
Justice John Tsoho who was hearing Kanu’s case had resigned after he was accused of Bias by the lawyer of the director of Radio Biafra.
Daily Post reports that in a statement signed by Comrade Emma Powerful who is the spokesperson of the group, IPOB claimed the judge was Buhari’s sister and would therefore be bias in her judgement.

He said: “The IPOB raises alarm over the assignment of the new trial judge for Nnamdi Kanu. The appointment of Justice Hajiya Binta F.M Nyako as the trial judge for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s case was masterminded by the government President Muhammadu Buhari.
“The appointment came after the harassment and the intimidation of the judges who were working tirelessly to address the country’s injustice, perpetrated by the government of the day in Nigeria.”
“Justice Hajiya Binta F.M Nyako was born on 14th day of May 1959; she is a sister to the president of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari; her state of origin is Katsina and her local government is Rimi. She became a judge on the 28 day of July 2000, and married to a man from Taraba state.
“The government of Nigeria assigned the case to her to make sure she jails Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, who committed no crime against anybody in Nigeria.
“We are calling on international community and other wonderful men and women across the globe to mount their watch on the new trial judge assigned to be handling the case concerning the leader of the indigenous people of Biafra, IPOB.
