 And also special counsel to Namdi Kanu, a lawyer, Jim Ako on Monday told the administration of President Muhammad Buhari that dialogue is amicable, trial is not. Kanu was accused of various offenses, including treasonable felony and terrorism, offenses he alleged committed in the cause of his separatist campaigns. He had pleaded not guilty to all the 15 amended charges. The court struck out eight. On behalf of Kanu, Haneze Ndebo had made a similar request, as Jim Ako asking President Buhari to use his prerogative of mercy on the pro-Biafra group leader.
