Referencing section 17 of the Federal High Court Act, Mr Ejimakor said, “In any proceeding, the court may promote reconciliation among parties thereto and encourage and facilitate the amicable settlement thereof.” Mr Awomolo acknowledged that Mr Kanu’s lawyer earlier communicated his desire to seek an out-of-court settlement regarding the charges.

Like Mr Awomolo, the judge urged Mr Kanu to approach the AGF, who is the proper person to negotiate with.In a ruling, Mrs Nyako dismissed a fresh application by Mr Kanu challenging the validity of counts 1,2,3,4,5,8 and 15. Mrs Nyako ordered the prosecution to file and serve its proof of evidence on the defendant and the defendant to file his defence before the next hearing.

He added that the SSS had refused to provide Mr Kanu with a “safe room” to meet with his lawyers as directed by the court.Reacting to the issue of the Form 49 application filed by Mr Kanu, the judge said the filing had yet to reach her file.
