You’re A Terrorist’, Nnamdi Kanu Blasts Fg’s Lawyer In Court by myright: 8:41pm On May 20 |
‘You’re a terrorist’, Nnamdi Kanu blasts FG’s lawyer in court By Ikechukwu Nnochiri, ABUJA The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, caused a stir at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday, after his fresh request to be released on bail, was refused. Kanu, who was visibly irked by the decision of the court to allow him to attend his trial from the detention facility of the Department of State Services, DSS, vented his anger on the lead counsel that appeared for the Federal Government, Chief Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN, labelling him a terrorist. Addressing the court from the dock, Kanu, who is answering to a seven-count treasonable felony charge, said he was surprised that the senior lawyer, who is currently the Chairman of the Nigeria Body of Benchers, could not advise the government properly. Kanu insisted that going by the provision of the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022, Nigeria, having violated international treaty it entered into owing to the manner he was arrested and forcibly rendered back to the country, he ought not be subjected to the ongoing trial. He stressed that both the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court, in their various decisions, declared his forceful rendition from Kenya as an act of illegality. Kanu, who kept waving a bunch of law books he entered the dock with, said: “My lord, you said in your earlier ruling that you will not grant me bail until you make a determination about the reason for my disappearance. But you have not done so. “At this stage, I am of the opinion that you can’t try me without first looking into that. The criminals came to my house to kill me! “I don’t understand why my trial must be conducted contrary to the provision of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. This is the laws of Nigeria as at today. This court is in violation of laws of Nigeria. Section 2(3) (f) of the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022, is very clear.” At this juncture, the prosecution, Awomolo, SAN, tried to interject by asking Kanu’s legal team to call him to order. Turning to Awomolo, SAN, Kanu, who was simmering with anger, said: “This man is a terrorist for conducting a trial in violation of an international treaty that Nigeria entered into. Once a treaty is entered into and signed, it becomes a law. “They are all terrorists! No court can try me in Nigeria. Anything done in violation of any treaty e texted into by Nigeria is an act of terrorism. “This man here is a terrorist as at today. He is a dishonest man! You are a terrorist! Who the hell are you? Follow what the law says. “I have been in detention for over three years. You are the Chairman of the Body of Benchers and you are violating the laws of this country,” Kanu fumed. Awomolo, SAN, who was shocked by Kanu’s outburst, said he was not angry about it. “I am not a terrorist and I am not provoked by the action of the defendant. It is understandable. He is only being emotional,” the senior lawyer added. Justice Nyako subsequently adjourned the matter to June 19 and 20. It will be recalled that Kanu was first arrested in Lagos on October 14, 2015, upon his return to the country from the United Kingdom, UK. Justice Nyako had on April 25, 2017, granted him bail on health ground, after he had spent about 18 months in detention. Upon the perfection of the bail conditions, he was on April 28, 2017, released from the Kuje prison. However, midway into the trial, the IPOB leader escaped from the country after soldiers invaded his country home at Afara Ukwu Ibeku in Umuahia, Abia State, an operation that led to the death of some of his followers. Kanu was later re-arrested in Kenya on June 19, 2021 and extraordinarily renditioned back to the country by security agents on June 27, 2021. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2024/05/youre-a-terrorist-nnamdi-kanu-blasts-fgs-lawyer-in-court/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR1y3Uh-3DDie1C8WrTPOH06x3Y4McmYwV7xJr0G-bl11KzGy3vcmKs31Cc_aem_Aenl8nxeFU7TjI1ZbI2wy0qpPPMleFpCqTaZKmNUh2ZYDuzYdJHh2jAxQV6z2iS3-Z-3ciHn5W8T9cH9Dj1cmbgs 1 Like 1 Share |

myright: How did he finish FG. I am curious. As of now, FG determines, the underwear and clothes he wears, they determine the food he eats, they determine If he would be allowed to have sex with his wife, FG determines whether he would drink water or not. In any court proceeding, judges are like a demi-God and it is unwise to be having this kind of outbursts. As an adult, we should always learn to keep our emotions in check. So, how did he finish FG again? 16 Likes 4 Shares |

myright: Who will enforce that law and why did his lawyer not argue that law? Were they unaware of its existence? You can quote all the laws you want but if the judge is not persuaded, you are on your own. Kanu's outburst in court will not sit well with the judge and he is making matters worse for himself. 6 Likes 1 Share |

myright: Big mistake my friend. Judges are humans, not robots and there will always be the element of emotions involved except your case get political K-leg. Anywhere in the world, you have to be nice and show remorse to attract the judges attention, always show humility and remorse even if you do not mean it, that was the reason that Nigerian guy got 3 life sentences for a rape, all because he was nasty and argued with the judge. 6 Likes 1 Share |

This is where you will land. When will your free gifts help the dead OBAs killed by FULANi Herdsmen in OYO STATE? When will an unemotional TINUBU rid the SW bushes of terrorists that kill YORUBA Monarchs without any reaction from TINUBU. Remember what I have told you and mark it in Blood. You will REAP bountifully what you sow Sunday IGBOHO a scam freedom fighter is walking free, but you are here trying to yarn dust on a man that is even greater than Awolowo let alone a worthless TINUBU. We are taking Notes.. keep exhibiting you rabid hate for IGBOs. A time of payback will NEVER elapse. It must come. Nonsense FreeStuffsNG: 2 Likes |

Show remorse for being illegally detained? Can you actually see how you punks reason? Gani Fahwenmi of Blessed memory NEVER showed remorse when he was illegally detained by a useless Junta. Fela Anikolapo Kuti NEVER showed remorse when detained illegally.. Even MKO Abiola never showed remorse. The highest you can do to him is to Kill him abi? But the resultant effects will be everlasting. No need for plenty okpata yarns sef.. We are watching... Sapasenator: 3 Likes 1 Share |

[Awomolo, SAN, who was shocked by Kanu’s outburst, said he was not angry about it.] Why the SAN was shocked after looking for Kanu' s trouble. I remember my Professor (from Ghana). Jokily he ll say: don't trouble trouble until trouble troubles you. Awomolo SAN, you are a trouble and you met trouble. Kanu was addressing the Judge and you "jumped".

rantingpigs: Ok na, let him not show remorse. Let him not hire any lawyer self and the next cour date, he should be ranting as usual. How can you compare MNK with Abiola and Fela? What an insults? Abiola had a chance to run away but he stood his ground to fight for his rights! Fela faced bullets but never ran away. MNK na big coward hiding behind a radio station in far away England to spew rubbish because he never believed the hands of the law could reach him. Never, Never compare Kanu to those people. |
