When judges trade justice for power, the gavel itself becomes guilty. Supreme leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has petitioned the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, to sanction Justices Binta Nyako, Haruna Tsammani, and Garba Lawal for alleged gross judicial misconduct.

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) outlined the alleged offences committed by the judicial officers against him. He called on the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), which is currently meeting in Enugu, to investigate these allegations and take appropriate action.

Kanu also urged the NBA to publish a report condemning the use of civil procedures to undermine criminal law and to address the reintroduction of repealed statutes.
