Nnamdi Kanu and two others arrived at the court, accompanied by no-nonsense ready to kill Security Operatives, who wore Balaclava. As a normal court procedure, the court clerk asked him if he understood English, Nnamdi Kanu objected and instead, went ahead to say the following:
“Thank you very much my lordship, but my objection is that I will not receive a fair trial before this court. The information I got is that I will not receive a fair trial before this court.
“I will not sacrifice the due process of law because of speedy court process over the principle of natural process on the altar of speedy release. In other words, I would rather remain in detention than subject myself to a trial that I know amounts to perversion of justice.
“Your lordship, previous court rulings have been given by courts of competent jurisdiction in this country, Nigeria which were not carried out by the DSS.”
Reacting to his Objection, the prosecuting counsel, Mohammed Diri said “First, he objects trial by your lordship because he believes he is not going to get fair trail. Two, he said, the trial before your lordship will amount to perversion of justice.

After all justice is rooted on confidence. If any of the parties has no confidence in the court, he has the right to say so.” “I therefore remit this case file to the chief judge of this court to take necessary action.”
