Do you believe NK is dead or in NA's custody?

Really should you be asking me that? Was I among the army that invaded his house? Anything would have happened to him during the unlawful army invasion. He might have been killed or captured by the army, hence his lawyer is asking the army to produce him. So you should be asking the army that invaded his house this question not me. If the army invade your house and started started shooting and killed some people and thereafter, you started looking for your brother who would you ask about the whereabouts of your brother? Your answer to this question may give you a clue of the answer to your question.

RoyalUc:


Do you believe NK is dead or in NA's custody?

the real answer is that every answer for now is an hypothesis..
no body know for sure where where kanu is now because before the soldiers came to aba, kanu was seen in public..even that day the army killed 3 people on sunday sept 11..

but seeing that the army invaded his fathers compound and killed even his dog, evidence suggest that he may av been taken by the army either killed or imprisoned..

the army said that they didnt evade their compound, but we av seen pictures and videos that suggest otherwise...so we know the army is lieing about the invasion..

also the army said that they are not with kanu...but seeing that they lied in the first case, its hard believing them now..

so in all, there is a 50% chance that the army is with kanu..

Daboomb:


The Lawyer has actually done something ILLEGAL.

Let me explain it to you:

As a member of the Bench under the Nigerian constitution, as a Member of the NIGERIAN Bar Association, Emeka Ejiofor has no right to use the Letter head of the NBA, to write a Petition against the Nigerian Govt, on behalf of a Private Client of his.

He can use his own personal letter Headed paper since the client is a private client of his but to use the leter head of a"Coordinating Organisation of ALL LAWYERS IN NIGERIA", which is what the Nigerian bar Association is, to another international organisation, on behalf of a private Client, he has breached the ethics of his profession because what he did was to grant an "official stamp" to an organisation that is proscribed in the country.

The NBA first needs to "be-BAR" him and withdraw his legal license (as the U.S did to Barr. Egionwu or what is his name) after which, the Fed Govt needs to them prosecute him for FRAUD.

Interesting didn't know he did that but the lawyers in the article didn't catch that either. It seems like your better at this than they are. They should go be detective and bounty hunters like I said. Unethical practices and fraud not same argument as being member of proscribed group. You should email this to Nigerian Bar association and Ministery of Justice. This tip may help in their case whether or not Kanu found.

Again, here is evidence that Nigerians go to school and acquire theories of Law but we lack application.

Pertinent question: If Kanu the leader of IPOB is presented in court on 17th, would the court permit a practicing lawyer to represent this terrorist?

If the answer is yes, then Ejiofor has not done anything wrong by advocating for Kanu. It matters not if IPOB is terrorist or not, in the eye of the law, he must have representation.

LAWCON need to get their act right and stop bulldozing us with inconsequential noise.

NK terrorist or not has a right for representation. But that is not what ejiofor has been doing. The lawyers gave their reason for calling for his arrest. Being NK lawyer is not any of the reason. Cool down and carefully read the story again

CALL TO ARREST KANU'S LAWYER
I am not sure that those calling for the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu's lawyer are real lawyers per se.
1. Does Nigerian law works retroactively. In every sane world, laws are not meant to operate retroactively. Even though, IPO is viral in other countries where they are still recognized, have the so called lawyers seen or heard Kanu propagating the cause of IPOB after the proscription
2. Is there any law(s) in Nigeria prohibiting Kanu's lawyer from defending him. In fact even under the Nigerian laws, courts are enjoined to provide lawyers for criminals who cannot afford same.
3. Does Rules of Professional Conduct preclude Kanu's lawyer from defending him, the answer is No. The law is trite in all these.

You know this how? Even the military and police lost track of him. Give up law become detectives and bounty hunters instead.



Intersting but who cares. His lawyer has to prove the soldiers broke in and killed people. He will be relying on circumstantial evidence. Other than that I don't feel he's dead, captured or escaped anywhere.

Soon, they will ask DSS to come after you for supporting the solicitor to the IPOB leader

Has Nk's brother openly declared his brother might be dead or missing?

Most of the things you wrote are true but you are clearly missed the argument!
Are you aware that Ibori's Lawyer was also JAILED along with Ibori, in the U.K?
So Lawyers, despite representing their Clients, can still commit Jailable offences in the process, Kanu's Lawyer will not exception.

If Kanu's lawyer is found to have committed PERJURY (Lying to the Court under Oath) or found to be misleading the court with false evidence or even perverting Justice on behalf of his Client (the las two being what l think the article is about), he could be arrested, tried and jailed.

Rules of Professional Conduct precludes kanu's lawyer from using the Letter Head of a federal body, the Body of Lawyers (Nigerian Bar Association) in writting a Petition to the United Nations, on behalf of his client.
In doing so, he has criminally and mischeiviously presented his "privately-briefed" petition as if it was written and sanctioned by the Whole Bar (Body of Lawyers) in Nigeria, which is cleary false.

I have a copy of that Petition and you can alos Google it for confirmation.

gidgiddy:


I dont think you get the real crux of the matter here. The issue here is, are the Army constitutionally empowered to invade anyones home? Does the Army have the right,under the law to go and look for Kanu? Let me ask it in another way, does the Nigerian Airforce have a right to invade Kanu's residence?

This is not even about what happend during or after the invasion of Kanu's house but wether the invasion its self is even legal in the first place.

The Army's position is that they never came anywhere near Kanu's house yet there are videos on youtube of them amassing next to Kanu's house.

What the Nigerian government wants us all to believe is that Kanu dressed up some men in military uniforms, gave them machine guns abd sent them to shoot up his community, his house, his cousin, his dog and kill several people all in a bid to avoid court where half of his charges have already been thrown out and hearing on the other half of the case is even yet to begin.

I think that people should start asking important questions because if the federal government cannot abide by its own laws then Nigerians have a much bigger problem than Nnamdi Kanu

There's nothing like constitution when it comes to the issues of national security..

It's just like saying security should wait before they storm kidnappers, criminals or terrorists hide outs

It's funny

DJperdurabo:
The hall mark of a true and valiant leader or crusader is the ability to stand and fight the supposed "enemy" without running away; look the devil in the face and spit in his eyes if it calls for it!

From religious icons (Jesus, Mohammad [peace be unto him]), to change agents such as Ghandi, MLK, Malcolm X, Mandela, Alexander etc, one thing ran the gamut with their crusades; they willingly surrendered themselves to the enemy, fighting on the front line, believeing that though they die, their ideology will live on to achieve that they sacrificed all for and you know what? History has bore them out as every single person here mentioned got what they sacrificed all for.

non of those people you mentioned walked into these own death- MLK was shot, gandhi was shot, malcom was shot, mandela ran from police for a very long time before he was eventually arrested. kanu got shot and missed [par se] what if he hibernates and comes back stronger?

Has Nk's brother openly declared his brother might be dead or missing?

As quoted in the article, Kanu's brother (Emmanuel Kanu a.k.a. Emma Powerful ) was actually quoted some days after the alleged invasion, to have said "We have ferried our leader to safety".

What does that tell these ignorant people who cant decipher statements?


It means Nnamdi Kanu was not arrested nor killed during the operation.

Another Governor of the S/East also said. fater the Army operation that they have spoken with Nnamdi Kanu on phone and that he left the country via Cameroun, to France and then U.K.
Again, showing that Kanu was alive, hale and hearty after the Army operation.

If Nigerian Govt makes a formal request, U.K Border Agency can and will confirm that kanu has entered the U.K borders, illegally since the Govt of Nigeria has his Nigerian passport or otherwise since he also posses a U.K passport.

Eitherway, it is obvious that Ejiofor is playing a dangerous game, accusing the Army of holding Kanu when he knows (if we trace his Telephone calls, it would show he has spoken with kanu, after the operation) that the man has eloped and the whole scam is designed to make it look like it was the Army that is making him Jump-bail when he actually planned and executed it himself.
Ejiofor though a Lawyer, is setting himself up for various charges inlcuding Conspiracy, aiding and abetting a fugitive to evade Justice, perjury, False and malicious accusations (to the Army), Accesory to crime, e.t.c.
He should know better than letting his emotional feelings (tribal affiliation) becloud his sense of professional conduct.

Nigerian govt should put Kanu on Interpol wanted list and the U.K will be requested to repatriate him.
But if he still refuses tocome, it just makes his case worse, by the day.

.... Most IPOB supporters posting here, are pretending like they can remember the sequence of events, over the last few months.


- They pretend like they dont know that it was "ordinary words" (like Kill all those cockroaches) that set-off the rwandan genocide were almost a million lives were snuffed! Something Nnamdi Kanu has done over and over again!
- They claim BSS was not carrying guns
- they claimed snatching the Rifle of a Military officer during an agitation is not enough
- They claimed burning a Police stattion and killing Police officer is not enough
- They calimed giving military trainig to an illegal group (BSS) while threatening to burn down a soverign country is not enough
- The claimed threatening to behead the President of a country ...


..are all not enough to bring in the Army and declare the group and its leader doing all those things as a terrorist group.

I just laugh at their selective amnesia.
Because somethig sooths you and your interest does not make it right or decriminalize it.

All those people never lived the kind of ostentatious, hero-worship life that Kanu is craving and getting.
Kanu is more interested in staying alive and enjoying the benefits of being worshippe, compared to all those freedom fighters who have no interest in the vanities of life but are ready to sacrifice their life (and proved it by doing so), for the course they pursue.

Nnamdi Kanu is a SCAM and that is why he siezed the first opportunity to run-away when the Govt turned up the heat.
He is not even bold enough to show-face from exile (afterall, he has dual citizenship) and continue to fight the cause.
He just went into hiding, like a mouse.

Not true. There has to be a clear threat to national security before the constitution is breached in the name of national security.

But look the reasons the Army gave for invading Kanu's residence:

Illegal roadblock and extortion of money

Use of stones, sticks and molotov cocktail

Formation of BSS (how can an unarmed BSS be a threat?)

Attempt to snatch a rifle.


None of the above contitute a threat to national security even if they are true, infact, none of them requires the presense of the military in the first place


Infact, the law does not allow the Army to act as a crime prevention outfit, that is not the duty of the Military.

Then why do military have road blocks and check points?

You can them unarmed?

All what you mentioned above can never happen in a developed country and they will fold their arms

But since you want to go unto constitutional arguments I will give you my honest opinion. 

So please read

If someone, a civilian for that matter, maintains and parades an organized people (wearing a military uniform), it can be misconstrued to be anything on the negative by the sovereign power of that country vis a vis Nigeria in this case. I highlighted this issue in my former opinion yesterday, you should not expect the government to roll in with police officers and patrol vans; you should reasonably expect army tanks. When you look at this organized IPOB armies, they are frustrated with what they perceived the system has done to them, so if you ever weaponize them, they will respond to that perceived injustice with murderous nihilism. They become non-state actors (Remember that we have rogue nations and people who will be willing today to give them weapons? Yes, believe me) so even when they were not armed, the Army took advantage of their sins to punish them with such force (not fair at all IMHO)

Now let's take it a little further, under International law and Pursuant to the 1949 Geneva Conventions Article 3, your status changes once you start wearing an army uniform, for you become an enemy combatant and will be treated as such: A recognized army (the Nigerian Army, in this case) can use force to neutralize you and your fellow militants. That is exactly what the Nigerian State and Army did. (The law cares less about your emotions so you don't go around breaking it)

In the Nigerian constitution, the offense of Treason is a capital offense which is defined by section 37(1) of the Criminal Code Act
as follows;

a. Any person who levies war against the state, in order to
intimidate or overawe the president or the governor of a state is guilty of treason and is liable to the punishment of death.

b. Any person conspiring with any person, either within or without Nigeria, to levy war against the state with the intent to cause such leving of war as would be treason if committed by a citizen of Nigeria, is guilty of treason and is liable to punishment of death.

You can clearly see why we advised our brother Nnamdi Kanu to refrain from some utterances or activities that could be misconstrued against him by the government, and anyone who advised a fellow countryman to be wise and careful is not an enemy or efulefu as the crazy thugs will like to call those of us with differing opinion, we just don't want to see our own go down. 

Remember that all his internet utterances were more or like dismissed by the Court because if the court had considered it treasonous, Kanu wouldn't have been released at the first place because there is no bail for the crime of treason.

Let's consider some of NNAMDI KANU'S SPEECHES:
"Nigeria is a zoo and everybody living in that God forsaken zoo deserves to die."
There will be no election in Anambra and I Dare Buhari to arrest me or send soldiers to arrest me in Biafra land and see if any of them will return alive
I will be coming to Abuja on 21st and I will come with 1millions biafrans and if anybody Dare arrest me, Burn down the zoo and Nigeria will seize to exist
I just launched Biafra secret security to Dealt with zoo
Nobody can arrest me and if they do , zoo will seize to exist and Biafra will be achieve fast
"Kumuyi should be stoned and dealt with thoroughly if he comes to Aba for his planned crusade."
"By the time we finish dealing with the animals in the zoo, there'll be none left to tell the story."
"We are assembling weapons and we need some more money to thoroughly equip our military to enable us unleash mayhem on Nigeria."
"Niger Deltans are cowards; we know what to do to them. Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta, Rivers, Edo and Cross Rivers State are our territory and anybody who tries to oppose us will be crushed."
"No Ibo man should attend any Church where the pastor is a Yoruba man, they are criminals and fools."
"Nigeria should prepare for war, we are coming to annihilate you, my secret service are already studying the zoo and strategising."
.... .

It is sad, I don't believe that people in their senses will support IPoB.

Kanu has a death wish and he is ready to drag fools along with him, some are dead and buried already whilst others are living corpses.

Another thing that is sad here is that grown people who live in Nigeria are calling the country a zoo, this is funny really. If Nigeria is a zoo, lol who are the animals?

Secession is unconstitutional, Igbos can't have it because they fought against constitutionalizing it. You cannot eat your cake and have it, live with that.

Nigeria will stand at the end, Kanu will keep running(he can't even stand to fight for his people, how does he want to lead them?), the world will see him for the terrorist he is.

Some people claim there are videos of NA surrounding Kanu's house on youtube. It's laughable because there are videos of Kanu threatening the country, innocent lives, requesting for guns and much more not on Youtube alone, but all over the world.

Give yourself a break, enjoy the 'zoo' you think you live in and let's REVOLT together against this corrupt government.

I'm sad to break the news, but there is nothing as Biafra, if you cannot fight for a better Nigeria, then you are free to die for Biafra but at the end, Nigeria will stand.

So, about Kanu's lawyer. I leave that for LAWCON. Come and beat me, I'm in a meeting with the Lions in our ZOO

But as per "if the army invade your house and started started shooting and killed some people and thereafter, you started looking for your brother who would you ask about the whereabouts of your brother?"

That's what I am saying. Shouldn't it be NK's immediate family's place to mourn or ask for the whereabouts of their son?

Has Nk's brother openly declared his brother might be dead or missing?

I answered your question and also gave you an insight into what your question looks like. Having said that, I will like to let you know that Nnamdi kanu's lawyer is a person of interest in this matter, so he has every right to ask of the whereabouts of his client. Remember he is his lawyer and they are due to appear in court by 17th of this month. Who do you think the judge will ask about Nnamdi kanu's absence in the court if he fails to show up? His brother? His lawyer? Again your answer to this question will also tell you if the lawyer has right or not to ask about him.
Ps: Nnamdi kanu's brother has said he doesn't know about his brother's whereabouts.

prevailer247:
non of those people you mentioned walked into these own death- MLK was shot, gandhi was shot, malcom was shot, mandela ran from police for a very long time before he was eventually arrested. kanu got shot and missed [par se] what if he hibernates and comes back stronger?

The folks I mentioned NEVER ran away from the enemy save Mandela in his EARLY years and you must know his was terrorism. That they were assassinated is even a testimony to the fact that they never cowered or his themselves from the "enemy".

The man has repeatedly said he's not afraid to die. Its about time he puts his money where his mouth is.

Let me tell you something about " ideology" and the human psyche; a burning idea, was implanted in the subconscious ,festers, grows, metastasizes like a cancerous cell and it is all the more "dangerous" when this idea is transferred to a group of like minded people. Then, it takes a life of its own usually personified in the instigator of the idea. Given the demise of the instigator, a powerfully projected ideology lives on and in certain cases becomes even more potent, the death of the instigator lending it more "force" (hence you see governments resisting the urge to "kill" so called freedom fighters in a bid to avoid making them martyrs which is another problem altogether). Have you not wondered why the best way to fight an idea is to challenge it with another idea? If you're just hearing this for the first time, now you know.

Knowing this, Kanu should come out of hiding (let's not kid ourselves here about him being dead and stuff...we're both too intelligent for that) and face his fight. He might win but not with this tactic. So many things are wrong with his tactic...does he read at all? So many people have walked the path he now travels and they've penned down their mistakes, advice and whatnot...does he read at all? Who are his advisors? He needs new ones asap as the way he's going, he will DEFINITELY lose the struggle.

Just wait and see.

Now let's take it a little further, under International law and Pursuant to the 1949 Geneva Conventions Article 3, your status changes once you start wearing an army uniform, for you become an enemy combatant and will be treated as such: A recognized army (the Nigerian Army, in this case) can use force to neutralize you and your fellow militants. That is exactly what the Nigerian State and Army did. (The law cares less about your emotions so you don't go around breaking it)

In the Nigerian constitution, the offense of Treason is a capital offense which is defined by section 37(1) of the Criminal Code Act
as follows;

a. Any person who levies war against the state, in order to
intimidate or overawe the president or the governor of a state is guilty of treason and is liable to the punishment of death.

b. Any person conspiring with any person, either within or without Nigeria, to levy war against the state with the intent to cause such leving of war as would be treason if committed by a citizen of Nigeria, is guilty of treason and is liable to punishment of death.

You can clearly see why we advised our brother Nnamdi Kanu to refrain from some utterances or activities that could be misconstrued against him by the government, and anyone who advised a fellow countryman to be wise and careful is not an enemy or efulefu as the crazy thugs will like to call those of us with differing opinion, we just don't want to see our own go down. 

Remember that all his internet utterances were more or like dismissed by the Court because if the court had considered it treasonous, Kanu wouldn't have been released at the first place because there is no bail for the crime of treason.

Let's consider some of NNAMDI KANU'S SPEECHES:
"Nigeria is a zoo and everybody living in that God forsaken zoo deserves to die."
There will be no election in Anambra and I Dare Buhari to arrest me or send soldiers to arrest me in Biafra land and see if any of them will return alive
I will be coming to Abuja on 21st and I will come with 1millions biafrans and if anybody Dare arrest me, Burn down the zoo and Nigeria will seize to exist
I just launched Biafra secret security to Dealt with zoo
Nobody can arrest me and if they do , zoo will seize to exist and Biafra will be achieve fast
"Kumuyi should be stoned and dealt with thoroughly if he comes to Aba for his planned crusade."
"By the time we finish dealing with the animals in the zoo, there'll be none left to tell the story."
"We are assembling weapons and we need some more money to thoroughly equip our military to enable us unleash mayhem on Nigeria."
"Niger Deltans are cowards; we know what to do to them. Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta, Rivers, Edo and Cross Rivers State are our territory and anybody who tries to oppose us will be crushed."
"No Ibo man should attend any Church where the pastor is a Yoruba man, they are criminals and fools."
"Nigeria should prepare for war, we are coming to annihilate you, my secret service are already studying the zoo and strategising."
.... .

Military roadblocks are illegal in a non combatant area. There has to be a reason for setting up Military roadblocks and it must include the fact that there is violence in the area. The military is not mandated by the constitution to be a crime prevention outfit. There was no violence in Abia state before the Military came and most of the roadblocks they set up are illegal.

You quoted the Geneva convention, were BSS wearing Army uniforms? They were wearing black clothing and berets. Is it against the law for a civilian to wear black clothing? No. Is it against the law for a civilian to wear berets? No. So what is the problem? They undertook parades and saluted each other? Who didnt undertake parades and salute at assembly ground in primary or secondary school? Is it against the law for civilians to conduct parades? No.

If the government now decides to invade the place because they think that BSS might one day arm themselves then the government is at fault. The law does not act on prediction, it acts on actions. The government should not have acted unless they had credible information that BSS was getting armed or had already got armed. If the government starts using the military to raid people based on mere assumption or speculation then there is nothing stopping them picking any of us up tomorow on the assumption that we might one day take up arms and become armed robbers due to the harsh economy.

As for Nnamdi Kanu and his speeches, he has the right of freedom of speech and expression. There is a difference between what a man says and what he does. Speech or hate speech cannot kill anybody or destroy property, it is actions that do that. If all Nnamdi Kanu has done is talk but has not backed it up with action, then you must let him be. The law is interested in actions, not mere words. If there is a statement made by Nnamdi Kanu that the government thinks is incitement, the government should charge him to court, not send the military after him.

I think when the dust over this operation Python dance has settled, the government and the Nigerian Army will be facing multiple charges of gross human rights abuse and unlawful murder
