The traders said Kanu’s trial is more important than whatever gains they would be making today.

Ifeanyi, one of the traders who spoke to THE WHISTLER, said they were unhappy with the trial.

” Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s trial will caused more harm to Nigeria economy than good,” he said.

Kanu, an indigene of the state, is standing trial on charges of treason, among others.
