Invoking its powers under Section 17 of the Federal High Court, Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako yesterday directed the Attorney-General of the Federation and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to explore the prospects of reconciliation or political solution in the ongoing trial of Nnamdi Kanu.
Section 17 of the Federal High Court Act provides that “In any proceedings in the Court, the Court may promote reconciliation among the parties thereto and encourage and facilitate the amicable settlement thereof”.
Responding, the private prosecutor representing the Federal government, Ademoyega Awomolo (SAN), told the Court that he has no objection to political settlement or solution of the case, but Kanu’s lawyers should discuss it directly with the Attorney-General.
In the same vein, Kanu’s Lead, Counsel Aloy Ejimakor, expressed no objection to political settlement.
The case was then adjourned for further hearing to 24th September 2024. /PLEASE SHARE
