Public Enlightenment Series - #1

EXPLAINING THE CHARGES BROUGHT AGAINST MAZI NNAMDI KANU BY BUHARI’S DSS


The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the leadership of Nnamdi Kanu deemed it necessary to explain to the public, the frivolous charges brought against Nnamdi Kanu by the Department of State Services (DSS), an agency that Retired Major-General Muhammadu Buhari has unconstitutionally used to replace the Nigeria Police Force.


This enlightenment series is set to achieve the following objectives:

1) Give accurate information on the number of charges brought against Nnamdi Kanu,

2) Disintinguish between what is being reported and what is exactly on the charge sheet,

3) Provide the public with relevant information on the laws cited by the DSS on the charge sheet and how relevant they are to the charges brought against Nnamdi Kanu.


On the 20th of January 2016, the DSS arraigned Mazi Nnamdi Kanu along with two other Biafrans. The IPOB leader was arraigned on three charges and not six charges as being erroneously reported by most Nigeria’s news media. In addition, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was never charged with treason as wrongly peddled by Nigerian brown-envelope journalists. In real terms, it was Muhammadu Buhari who actually committed treason on December 31, 1983 when he overthrew a democratically elected government headed by Alhaji Aliyu Usman Shehu Shagari.


In this first part of the enlighten series, we shall dwell on the first charge which reads as follows:

“That you, Nnamdi Kanu and other unknown persons, now at large, at London, United Kingdom, between 2014 and September, 2015 with intention to levy war against Nigeria in order to force the President to change his measures of being the President of the Federation, Head of State and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federation as defined in Section 3 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) by doing an act to wit: Broadcast on Radio Biafra your preparations for the states in the South- East geo-political zone, South-South geo-political zone, the Igala Community of Kogi State and the Idoma/Igede Community of Benue State to secede from the Federal Republic of Nigeria and form themselves into a Republic of Biafra, and thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 41(C) of the Criminal Code Act, CAP C38 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004.“


To further enlighten the public, we hereby publish verbatim, the entire Section 41 of CAP C38 LFN 2004 including the accompanying punishment if conviction is achieved:

41. Treasonable felonies.
Any person who forms an intention to effect any of the following purposes, that is to
say-

(a) to remove during his term of office otherwise than by constitutional means the President as Head of State of the Federation and Commander-in-Chief of
the armed forces thereof; or

(b) to likewise remove during his term of office the Governor of a State; or

(c) to levy war against Nigeria in order by force or constraint to compel the President to change his measures or counsels, or in order to put any force or constraint upon, or in order to intimidate or overawe any House of the National Assembly or any other Legislature or legislative authority; or
(d) to instigate any foreigner to make any armed invasion of Nigeria of any or the territories thereof, and manifests such intention by an overt act,

is guilty of a felony and is liable to imprisonment for life.


We hereby breakdown this first charge as follows:

1) That Nnamdi Kanu and an indeterminate number of persons whom the DSS don’t even know have formed an intention to levy war against Nigeria. In addition, the DSS are asserting that both Nnamdi Kanu and these “unknown persons“ committed the treasonable felony act in London—United Kingdom.

2) That the period within which Nnamdi Kanu and these indeterminate number of “unknown persons“ performed this act was from 2014 (no specific date and month in 2014) to September 2015 (no specific date in the month of September).

3) That the method in which they committed the treasonable felony as defined by 41-C was by broadcasting on Radio Biafra. And that what they did by broadcasting on Radio Biafra was their preparation of the states in South-East and South-South geo-political zones to secede from Nigeria to form Republic of Biafra. That Igala Community in Kogi state and Idoma/Igede Community in Benue state were also part of the areas that will form the Republic Biafra which will secede from Nigeria.

4) That the action explained above qualifies for the condition specified in 41-C for treasonable felony of which the punishment upon conviction is life imprisonment for Nnamdi Kanu and those indeterminate number of “unknown persons“.


Having broken down the charges, we will now raise some pertinent questions in the next edition of this enlightenment series.

If this the No. 1 charge on the charge sheet, it obviously means that the charges are waterless.

No wonder the dullard from Daura is personally driving the hands of the zoo corrupt judges on how to handle his case.

No wonder the the Zoo's clueless DSS is asking for a secret trial.

No wonder even Dusuki can't be brough to court. This government's cluelessness is beyond redemption.

What makes me laugh are those who say "Nnamdi Kanu was caught on video soliciting arms in America to fight Nigeria and he made inciting statements on his Radio" . It's almost like saying that 50 cents should be jailed for all the people he said he would shoot and all the inciting lyrics he uses in his songs.

It may not be a crime saying that in America

It's a treason here

In my opinion, i hope Nnamdi is collecting as much evidence as he can to sue the crap out of Nigeria.

The charges are baseless.....evidence 1.
You got bailed twice and the nation held you against your will..... evidence 2.
You stayed in jail for almost a year without the prosector even providing any physical evidence to support the case against you...evidence 3
Your accuser are masquerades so you can't even cross them to defend yourself...evidence 4
the only "evidence" they have against you in all this is words of mouth and zero action...evidence 5
In addition, the people that accuse you said similar word of mouth thing you said...evidence 6

A government of a nation violated the crap out of your human rights...automatic chin chin

Literally Buhari is the dumbest person on the planet. He forgets that he won't be president forever..hell there is a a high chance he won't even get a second chance unless APC rigs.

When Nnamdi gets out, it's safe to conclude he'll clean the shit out that government's bank. I'm not a lawyer and even I know this is a biggest, easiest, case to win. Like any international court he sues that government in is an easy win. The funny thing about it all, nnamdi kanu himself is a freaking lawyer so obviously he already planning ahead hence that Nigga stay smiling throughout images and videos we see him at.

That's why I laugh at those mock the dude and support buhari. Karma ain't done with Nigeria from what I can see. I'm just laughing.

If that is the case, then every Nigerian has commited treason because there is no adult Nigerian who has not at one time or the other said that there should be a revolution in Nigeria, and the leaders should be removed or killed, either against one regime or the other. So start by handing your self in to the police.

The Government of Buhari wants to nail Kanu at all costs, it will be an international embrrassment for them if they don't. So they need their 'masquerades' to come and testify. How can someone, who could be anybody, come to court to wear mask and testify?

I laugh. The earlier Kanu and his supporters know that the guy is in serious trouble, the better for the region. Nobody pledges to take up arms and destroy a country and expects to get away with it. The guy is a security risk to Nigeria and the FG has taken the right steps to protect the country and its citizens from him and his army of followers. Kudos to our security agents.
