During the court session, Agabi publicly apologized on behalf of Kanu, acknowledging past outbursts and extending apologies to Justice Nyako, the prosecution team, and Kanu’s legal representatives.

The lawyer also expressed regret over remarks Kanu had directed at the Federal Government’s counsel, a highly respected legal figure.
Reacting to these developments, Uchechi Kanu stated that her husband agreed it was necessary for Agabi, as his new lead counsel, to address Justice James Omotosho on the previous courtroom tensions that had shaken the Nigerian judiciary.
“Chief Kanu Agabi, SAN—a highly respected figure—acted to smooth ruffled feathers within the bar and bench, particularly following my husband’s frustration-driven outbursts that led to Justice Binta Nyako’s recusal,” she said.
