A lawyer from Abuja named Christopher Chidera thinks the recent court appearance of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu opens a fresh page for justice in Nigerian courts. He felt happy about how everyone stayed calm during the session last Friday. The court meeting happened without any anger, favoritism, or fighting between sides. Chidera believes this marks the end of ongoing fights between Kanu and the Federal Government, which accused him of terrorism.
The lawyer sees this event as a turning point where both sides start to make peace. He praised Justice James Omotosho for keeping things smooth at the Federal High Court in Abuja. Chidera also liked how former Attorney General Chief Kanu Agabi started this new approach. He thanked attorney Adegboyega Awomolo for not trying to block the process. These two senior lawyers represented opposite sides - Agabi for Kanu and Awomolo for the government.
Instead of yelling at each other as expected, something surprising happened. Agabi, speaking for his client, said sorry many times to the Federal High Court, the justice system, Judge Binta Nyako, the government lawyers, and even his team. He apologized for Kanu losing his temper during earlier court sessions last year. Kanu himself asked people to forgive him and requested that everyone use peaceful ways to fix problems.
Chidera called this a key moment for fixing relationships and starting fresh with justice. He explained that Agabi showed deep respect for courts when he apologized, which helped clear away past problems before Judge Omotosho. The judge also said courts serve as temples of justice where God's work happens. Then Judge Omotosho did something unexpected—he apologized back to Kanu as a way to rebuild trust. Chidera thinks lawyer groups can learn from this fresh start, which proves Nigerian courts can handle tough cases fairly.
