The Federal High Court in Abuja, on
Tuesday, banished Mrs Favour Kanu, wife of Prince Fineboy Kanu, the younger
brother to Nnamdi Kanu for streaming the proceedings of the court life on her
Facebook page.
Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People
of Biafra (IPOB), is being prosecuted by the Federal Government for alleged
terrorism charge.
Justice James Omotosho, who gave the order, after Mrs
Favour admitted engaging in the act and apologised to the court, held that Mrs
Favour would have been charged for contempt of court.
Although Kanu’s lawyer, Chief Kanu Agabi, SAN, also
apologised on her behalf, Justice Omotosho insisted that Mrs Favour would be
barred from three proceedings.
The judge expressed surprise that despite that Mrs
Favour’s phone was confiscated on the last adjourned date when she was caught
recording him, she still went ahead to post the video online.
” I want to hear from her. Were you not the one that I
took your phone?
“I did not give order to forfeit that phone. I don’t
know if she might be a wife to my brother (Nnamdi Kanu,” the judge said, but
Prince told the judge that she is his wife.
The judge, who cautioned against any act that could
cause delay in the trial, assured all parties in the case that justice would be
served.
