when the alleged crimes were committed

nandi KO said before the federal
3:38

3:50
Nigeria nandi K said looking at the
3:54
impartiality of the trial judge Justice
3:57
V inyu he cannot continue with the
4:00
shenanigans of the federal government

4:39
of justice and stop obeying barely the
4:41
ones that are against him while ignoring
4:43
the ones that favored
