Putin’s Assault On Ukraine Is Tea Party Compared To Buhari’s Treatment Of Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB US Lawyer, Bruce Fein – SaharaReporters.com

Bruce Fein, American lawyer to Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has said the Nigerian government ought to be the ones on trial, not Kanu.

Fein in a release obtained by SaharaReporters on Thursday stated that what the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, was doing with his troops in Ukraine was tea party compared to what the Muhammadu Buhari government is inflicting on the Biafran leader and Biafra.

The IPOB leader has been detained in the facility of Nigerias secret police, the Department of State Services, for over 10 months having been arrested since June 27, 2021.

He had been arraigned several times before the Federal High Court, Abuja over charges of treason, treasonable felony, terrorism, and illegal possession of firearms, among others, with the latest court sitting on Wednesday.

The court, on Wednesday, had declined to grant bail to the detained IPOB leader.

Justice Binta Nyako had held that Kanu must explain the reason why he breached the previous bail that was given to him before he could enjoy another favourable discretion from the court.

Reacting in a statement on Thursday, Fein said Kanu should not be the one facing trial; rather it should be the Nigerian government.

He said, The Fulani-controlled government of Nigeria should be on trial, not Nnamdi Kanu. The formers prosecution of the latter turns the law on its headfrom an instrument of justice to a weapon of oppression.

Judicial notice can be taken of the following: The Nigerian government attempted to assassinate Nnamdi Kanu in September 2017 for exercising his constitutional and international law right to self-determination by the people of Biafra.

The Abia High Court has awarded MNK N5billion in damages for the violation. The attempted assassination disqualifies the Nigerian government from prosecuting MNK for lack of impartiality required by due process and international law.

The Nigerian government continues to deny the people of Biafra their unalienable right to self-determination enshrined in jus cogens (mandatory) international law and Article 1 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

The Nigerian government conspired with the Government of Kenya to kidnap and torture Nnamdi Kanu in June 2021. The Nigerian government conspired with the Government of Kenya to subject Nnamdi Kanu to extraordinary rendition to Abuja, Nigeria, in violation of international law and relevant extradition treaties.

Since his criminal extraordinary rendition, Nnamdi Kanu has been denied access to counsel of his choice in violation of international human rights law and the Nigerian Constitutionincluding myself on multiple occasions.

The Nigerian government speaking through Chief Judge Tosho had authorised a secret trial of Nnamdi Kanu in hopes of concealing its planned criminal judicial murder of the defendant.

The Nigerian government has denied MNK a universally recognised presumption of innocence by punishing him with 11 months of cruel imprisonment without a crumb of admissible evidence of guilt submitted to a court of law. The Nigerian government has denied MNK a right to a trial within a reasonable time after detention despite its army of law enforcement resources by compounding delay upon delay for nearly a year and scampering away from a hard trial date.

To underscore the stupendous magnitude of the Buhari-Malami-Nyako triumvirates denial of MNKs international law and constitutional rights, a comparison with the due process received by Nazi leaders accused of the most unspeakable crimes in the history of mankind by the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg is instructive.

The Nazi leaders enjoyed access to counsel. MNK has not. The Nazi leaders enjoyed a presumption of innocence. MNK has not. The Nazi leaders received fair notice of the crimes alleged by the IMT prosecution team. The accusations against MNK are expressed at an infinite level of generality that confounds preparation of a defense.

The accused Nazi leaders (some of which were acquitted) were tried based upon volumes of authenticated evidence and testimony subject to cross-examination. The Nigerian government has failed to adduce a shred of authenticated evidence or testimony subject to cross-examinationthe greatest engine every invented for the discovery or truth.

The accused Nazi leaders were prosecuted within 8 months after the conclusion of World War II. MNK has yet to receive a trial after 11 months of agonizing detention.

Nigerias merciless lawlessness against MNK should thunder every day like a hammer on an anvil throughout world corridors of power until justice is done. What Russian President Putin is doing in Ukraine is a tea party compared to what the villainous Nigerian triumvirate is inflicting on the Biafran leader and Biafra. International ostracism and boycotts should be forthcoming accordingly.

Kandi Burruss and Andy Cohen React to Kenya Moores Tense Conversation with Ralph Pittman – Bravo

Weve been following Drew Sidora and husband Ralph Pittmans journey to sort out their marital issuesthis season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. And on the May 22 episode, Kenya Moore had something to say to the RHOAhusband.

When the subject of Ralph's assistant came up during the first dinner of the groups New York trip, he remarked to Drew that they should just agree to disagree. Why are we even recounting this anymore? Ralph asked Drew. Something occurs to you one way, occurs to me a different way, and its fine.

After pointing out the similarities between Ralph and her ex-husband, Marc Daly, Kenya called out Drews husband for the way he was speaking to his wife. If my husband said that to me, I would flip this table over because that is so disrespectful. You just said, basically, shes lying. How it happened is not how it happened, she said. That would piss me the f--k off if somebody said that to me to my face, especially if Im hurting. Do you not understand that? Youre tearing her down.

Drew appreciated Kenyasspeaking up on her behalf. Kenyas actually communicating exactly how I feel, she shared in an interview during the episode. I hope Ralph really hears he could be doing some of the same things she experienced with Marc, and you see where they ended up.

Kenya tweeted after the episode aired, I really hate this for [Drew] just breaks my heart. Sending you a big hug and prayers for your beautiful family.

Andy Cohensaid he also enjoyed seeing Kenya show her support for Drew on the May 22 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, which featured Kandi Burruss as a guest. She was really, you know, kind of really trying to help Drew out, which I liked seeing, Andy said.

Kandi agreed, sharing her reaction to Kenya and Ralphs conversation on WWHL. I loved the fact that she was trying to look out for Drew, Kandi said. But she did put the pressure on Ralph. It was a little tense.

Speaking of this seasons drama, Kandi was hoping to get some answers of her own about the tea that was spilled about her during Kenya's tea party for daughter Brooklyn's third birthday in the May 15 episode of RHOA. She told Andy she didnt know who wrote that bit of gossip about her and was still trying to figure it out.

I thought yall were gonna play it in the episode, Kandi said. You know, how sometimes things are revealed in the episode?

Andy,who is an executive producer of The Real Housewives, assured Kandi he would be getting to the bottom of this. Were gonna find out at the reunion, Ill tell you that much, he said, to which Kandi replied, Well, please. I would love to know.

After that piping-hot tea about Kandi was spilled at Brooklyns birthday party, the beef that had been brewing between Drew and Shere Whitfield really came to a head and has recently seeped over onto social media. OK, well, let me just say theyve been going in on Twitter, OK? Twitter has been on fire with Drew and Shere, Kandi said on WWHL (clip below). Im trying to stay out of that cause the shade has been lethal, OK?

However, Kandi did weigh in on their RHOA drama surrounding their mutual assistant and noted how it seemed both Drew and Shere were misdirecting their grievances. Love them both, but I just kind of felt like, at the birthday party, I just kind of felt like Drew got really upset, which I get it. Thats her husband. Shes supposed to take up for him. But it was based off of what the guy said, Kandi explained. So yall both are arguing about what this guy has said, so why are we going crazy on each other? Lets go crazy on the guy.
