Kanu’s lawyer protests over alleged lock-out of legal team
Ejimakor in a media chat alleged that the court locked out Kanu’s lawyer and commenced a trial of their client without their presence.
He described the action as a travesty of justice and judicial rascality vowing that the legal team will take counter legal actions to seek redress.
His words:” It didn’t go well. We were locked outside the courtroom. The judge simply didn’t want to allow us to go inside because he has a problem with the number of Mazi’s lawyers.
“But that is wrong because it shouldn’t be a problem. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has a right to Counsel because the constitution didn’t say he has a right to only one counsel.
” It is a complicated case and he has the right to as many counsels as he can afford and the courtroom perimeter can accommodate.
” The court locked us out, and while we were locked outside the court commenced proceedings without our presence, and adjourned till January next year.
“This is a travesty of justice and a flagrant violation of section 36 of the Nigeria constitution. We will consider many counter legal actions”
