GOD ALMIGHTY IS NOT HAPPY WITH THIS COUNTRY. Where are the Real Prophets and Men of GOD in this Country. Let them Speak The Word/Mind Of GOD to Nigeria.
I see this Country in bits and pieces. The bits and pieces are seventeen(17) in number. Darkness is everywhere.
Nigeria is fighting GOD, but I tell you this day, that the Mercy Of GOD have departed from Nigeria.
I see The Sword Of God upon this Country.
This Country is matching powers with GOD. I see the consuming fire of GOD upon this country.

Hmmm. Doesn't that make it possible for anyone to stand as witness? Should we even take such a witness serious? How can we verify that the witness is not a DSS official or an opportunist hired for the Job?

I don't also think the case is that delicate for the witness to be masked. If they can present witnesses in cases of people accused of embezzling money that has led to lose of lives I don't see why the witness in this case, where the accused was not even accused of taking life, should be masked. IPOB maybe misguided but they are not that violent.


Truth! Govt's mishandling of this issue will only make things escalate.

Nigeria will be in the state of calamity if their evil plan against this innocent man work out for them





just mark it some where.

who is innocent?........................... Arrogant Kanu can not be innocent. The bible says: BLESSED ARE THE PEACE MAKER FOR THEY SHALL OBTAIN PEACE.

Kanu is a violent war monger. So arrogant and insulting................. He dont even have respect for igbo ladies married to other tribe and their children. He is not diplomatic.

Buhari is looking for opportunity to convict KANU by all means. Our God is a faithful God. We shall overcome.
God was faithful when kanu was calling nigeria a zoo, abusing federal government and other tribes on his radio as if tomorow would not come. God is still faithful even when man is unfaithful. God will still be God when man stop to exist. Every man should remember the consequences of their actions.

its called controlled opposition. the emergence of kanu out of obscurity in england was organized. and the fact that the british let him use their country for the campaign with buhari in britain all that time hobnobbing with the british intelligence tells me they propped him up for this purpose. you think they hate each other but thats because you have been bamboozled by the crafted story. and then he was instructed to come to nigeria on a certain date and told to go to a certain hotel in ikeja and they will pretend to pick him up and arrest him from the hotel lol. ITS ALL STARTING TO MAKE SENSE. ITS ALL ORGANIZED. TRUST ME. LET ME TELL YOU HOW THIS WILL PLAY OUT ? THEY WILL FIND HIM GUILTY AND SENTENCE HIM TO DEATH AND THEY WILL TAKE HIM AWAY AND FLY HIM TO A COUNTRY TO GO AND COOL OFF, WHILE THE WHOLE NDIGBO POPULATION PLUNGEs THE COUNTRY INTO CIVIL WAR AND ANARCHY WILL ENSUE. HAHA I SEE THROUGH IT ALL
Well I don't think it will be a good idea to sentence him to jail not to talk of killing him. If they do, that may plunge Nigeria into serious civil unrest that may snowball into full fledged civil war! But God forbid, they should find a common ground to settle this

No, I can seat in court without a screen and still be a false witness. It allows the witness to feel safe, and not be intimidated by the gallery and the accused.

It is not a new device and is used in all cases involving minors and dangerous criminal organisations

You don't think the case is delicate, Kanu is a cult leader who can ask his followers to do and undo. He has a similar level of influence among illiterates as a state governor

Not really putting on a mask but a screen shield blocking his or her face. Do you have an idea if the witness will call their names before the process begin?

They would be given an alias, witness A , B etc

It is not a new thing, and it is often employed in courts the world over.

Why are there so many functional illiterates on NL

You people would score low on an IQ test

Even people testifying against the mafia do not get hidden during trial. They know they are bringing Judases who want to make it easy on their conscience by not looking at Nnamdi in the eye.

I don't know what mafia cases you've been watching ooh, cause the number of mafia witnesses living in protective custody or who have changed their names and have been put in a witness protection programme the world over is huge.

The accused, the judge and the lawyers will see the witnesses.
Have u been to a court before?.... If the people u mentioned will see the witness that means the public can see too...(If u really understand the sitting in the court) others won't get to see the witness except, the counsels meet with the witness privately in a room before the process of litigation begins in court. Or they wnt allow other come inside the court....

God will help KANU he will be victorious in Jesus name.

I'm sure you are educated, a simple search on Google will provide the examples you seek but if that's too hard you can visit the link below to learn more about witness protection measures.

Ah God will bless you beyond your expectations. When we tell them to always look beyond American/English movies they won't listen. .. all they can claim they know is witness protection program (witpro) they never realise that even in the Nigeria law there is a provision for shielding witnesses as long as the witness feel threatened or intimidated. ...

A govt found on falsehood can not change over night, this is nothing but trying in vain to prosecute an innocent man for following his mind and that of a people so depressed, humiliated, slaughtered, and with an intention to exterminate them, of which he Nnamdi Kanu is a victim. How else can one be told you are not wanted here? From the year of the useless marriage of a wicked blood hungry and naive Hausa /Fulanis with a nation that likes solving their problems within the range of their family borders. What can an Igbo man claim to be his gain in this marriage? From that date to now has their been any year the Igbos are not molested or killed in their hundreds?. World bodies and organisations have remained silent on the plight of the igbo man. If Israel went into slavery for 70 yrs but on that faithful day promised by God they were liberated and by a man. The Igbo man I suppose have completed our own mandate of slavery in the hands of this pharaoh Hausa/Fulanis if God decides to free us no one can stand against it. Moses was a man, #NNAMDI KANU is also a man, all Israelites did not agree with Moses then, all igbos may not agree with #Nnamdi Kanu, but if God wills it, those who stand against it will go down like pharaoh and his people. No going back.

Wow. I hope you'd maintain this consistency. Okay. In 2011, Muhammadu Buhari incited violence in Nigeria by his utterances and lives were lost. A corper was dragged out of a Police Station and murdered. Should we rate Buhari and Kanu as same people? Who has died as a result of Kanu's utterance?

When did you start paying attention to this IPOB matter. !

On more than one occasion Kanu advocated the murder of Fulani/ Hausa or Igbo not sympathetic to their cause, they wee referred to as betrayers.

Pls stop this nonsense , the premise of this IPOB to actualize the Biafra agenda via violence
