Just obey it. That is why I agitate for Biafra. I have a right to agitate.

“I don’t recognize anything Binta Nyako. She has no jurisdiction to try me. She stands recused from my case and cannot try my case. There are things that are happening in this country that none of you do not know. It is my duty to make that very, very clear to all of you.

“Her son and her husband are facing corruption charges and they told them that if they convict me — this is what it’s like. Nobody wants the truth to come out. They sent her my case so they can smoothen the pathway for the husband and the son. They have violated the judicial oath, they have shown bias.”
