One Of The Charges Against Nnamdi Kanu Is Not Even A Crime by gidgiddy: 1:14am On Oct 26, 2021 |
Its not news that the FG brought an ammended seven count charge against IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu. However, it turns out that one of the charges is not even a crime. The charge reads: That you Nnamdi Kanu, male, adult, of Afaraukwu Ibeku, Umuahia North Local Government Area of Abia Stale on the 16th of May, 2021, in London, United Kingdom within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court did commit an act in furtherance of an act of terrorism by making a broadcast that “In 2 weeks’ time, what will happen will shake the world, people will die, the whole world will stand still, mark my word” and you thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 1 (2) (b) of the Terrorism Prevention Amendment Act, 2013. That Nnamdi Kanu said that in two weeks time, people will die? People die every day. How can it be a crime to say that people will die in the future? It is a statement of fact. How is this charge a crime? 15 Likes |

People merely dying doesn't shake the world. So it is the context and tone that made it a threat - a crime 14 Likes |

gidgiddy: Dude, nothing in Nigeria makes sense. I grew up in that 'country' and I use to know no better, but now, it is glaringly clear to me that not only is Nigeria a tragic contradiction, its also claims to be what it is not; a democratic federation. Probably the biggest failure of a country I've ever studied, with the most vile and sadistic leaders, hypocritical, over religious Clerics and citizens. They have the capability to be great, but deliberately choose not to and to kill and oppress! This 'country' isn't just ripe for disintegration, it deserves one! Tufiakwa! 8 Likes |

FreeIgboho: This is not even a threat as Nnamdi Kanu did not mention anyone or any people. He didnt even say he is killing anyone. All he said is that people will die in two weeks. Is it possible for two weeks to pass without anyone dying? How anyone can file such a flimsy charge in court is beyond me 3 Likes |

op don't mind them. We've taken the case to both ICC and the ICJ. There all their fabrications will fall flat and our victory will be assured. Thereafter, all those involved one way or the other in the killings of our people will be forcefully made to pay for those crimes. Our dead will be avenged. 2 Likes |
