Bruce Fein, An American Lawyer representing Nnamdi Kanu in the United States has threatened to file a petition before the international Criminal Court over violation of Human rights by Nigerian Government.
Fein who has been denied access to see his client in the court room on Wednesday, November 10 to Monitor the Trial of Nnamdi Kanu, says this is the fifth time he is being denied access to his client.
The American Lawyer lamented that this is in violation of Court order as the court demanded his client should pick Three persons of his choice to visit him.
He threatened that he is going to the US Congress, that sanctions will be considered against the Nigerian Government.
Fein said;
“Today was the fifth time I was told I could not enter the courtroom despite the court’s previous order that Nnamdi could have access to any three persons he wants to.
“I had the chance to talk briefly to him on my way to the courtroom. It is clear that I am the target in particular. That’s the reason why this proceeding did not transpire today.
“And I’m here to tell Nigerians and the international community that I’m taking this to international tribunals. It is clear that the Nigerian tribunals are compromised.
“I will petition the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention in Geneva, the International Court of Justice in the Hague, the ICC in the Hague and I’ll be going to the United States Congress and urging that sanctions be considered against Nigeria for gross violations of fundamental human rights”.
“I’m here not to be an irritant but there are huge international law issues that are present in Nnamdi Kanu’s case. I’m here because I’m an international expert to provide more enlightenment on what legal issues are present here.”
