Well written article I must confess.

But why is the government interested in secret trial for Nk and other Biafrans?

TRIAL OF NNAMDI KANU & OTHERS: CANT BUHARI & DSS PROVE ITS CASE IN THE OPEN?

By Chuks Ikedigwe

As the Tuesday 13th December, 2016 date slated by the Abuja Federal High headed by Justice Binta Nyako to rule on the Federal Government of niGERia via DSS application to use Identity and Screen Shielded AKA Masquerade AKA Ojuju Calabar witnesses in the Treason trial of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) approaches, it has become important to POINT OUT to the public and also the prosecution and equally the judge not forgetting the Hitler Protégé President of the country, African Hitler Muhammdu Buhari (AHMB) on what the laws of niGERia says on how to prove treason and treasonable felony Charges before the law courts.

THE LAW ON TREASON
The law on Treason is detailed in section 37 of the Criminal Code (The Criminal Code is the law applicable to the 17 Southern States of the Country) and section 410 of the Penal Code (which is applicable to the 19 Northern States of the Country). Section 41 of the Criminal Code deals with Treasonable Felony.

HOW TO PROVE THE EVIDENCE OF TREASON & TREASONABLE CHARGE BEFORE THE COURT
(1) Unlike other types of crimes that its prosecution can be started at any time, the prosecution of treason and treasonable Felony must be started within 2 years (24 months) of the alleged committing of the crime.
(2) In the Prosecution for the offences under treason, nobody can be convicted unless the person pleads QUILTY to the offence.
(3) There is a PROOF of the commission of the offence by 2 witnesses in OPEN COURT of at least one overt act of the type of treason or felony charged.
(4) There is a PROOF of the commission of the offence in OPEN COURT by 2 witnesses who are witnesses to different overt acts each of the treason or felony the accused is charged with.

NOTE:- From the above, it’s important to note that the law of the country either via the Criminal Code or the Penal Code or any other law for that matter does not make provision for treason and felony charges to held in SECRET.
Therefore, it’s paramount that all and sundry is made aware that the law does not recognize the place of Masquerade or even Screen Shielded witnesses.
It will then amount to aberration to attempt to introduce what is totally strange in law by the Federal Government of niGERia. He that makes allegation in the open should also prove it in the open.

EXCEPTIONAL CASES

The only times that the court (not the law) can allow secret trial are to protect minors or people with special needs (minors in niGERia are people below the age of 18 years). Example is the Trial of Yunusa Dahiru, alias Yellow were the Court allowed Ese Rita Oruru to testify in secret. But even at that, the world knows who was giving testimony.

There is nowhere in the world in a democratic rule, where the identity of witnesses are shielded from the accused and the public.

WHY THE COURT MUST NOT ALLOW IDENTITY SHIELDED WITNESSES.

In this reign of evil where even judges are haunted and humiliated and even members of the DSS who have fallen out of favour with the government are not spared, it will be very dangerous for any Judge to allow or for any member of the DSS to encourage this aberration of identity shielded witnesses’ PRECEDENT to be set or Stand.

Those who encouraged it today may become its victims tomorrow. And Karma as a female bitch makes it know that one can’t stop what he/she is part of or benefitted from yesterday.

FINAL WORDS

Its seems that these people in niGERian government are only interested in proving Nnamdi Kanu right that the country is truly worse than a ZOO?

If not, I don’t see why the Gestapo outfit called the DSS cannot do the NEEDFUL and nail him (Nnamdi Kanu) with reliable and trusted witnesses before the public in OPEN COURT if truly he has committed the crime the Zoo state is alleging.

Does it mean that the Gestapo organization only have evidence that can only be provided in Secret by Ojuju Calabar like looking witnesses? ****Shakes head***

http://www.globalnewscity.com/2016/12/trial-of-nnamdi-kanu-others-cant-buhari.html

The Africa Hitler Muhammadu Buhari (AHMB) will soon look for a reason to go after this fearless judge same way he went after justice Ademola for granting unconditional release order to Nnamdi Kanu.

AHMB truly does not deserve to near governance in this 21 century. He is too analogue for the 21 century governance.

Those who repackaged him as a repentent democrat did the greatest damage to 21 century governance.

AHMB, the Hitler protege has taken governance back by over a century by his actions and inactions especially as it deals with ''keeping tab'' on observing the rule of law.

lanreni:

you call it media trials? was it not governor wike that ran to the press and publicized the videos? or was it the DSS that decided to film the private residents of the judges during the raid?
the NBA issued press statements before the DSSofficially made theirs to clear the media trial already ongoing? can't you see that we are d one's sensationalizing things here or are u telling me it is d DSS that owns nairaland, facebook and twitter now? have u taken time to gothrough theCJA 2015 where any one with a warrant can lawfully breakdown the door of private residents at any time of the day? don't let us join issues. i believe the purpose of education is to train the mind to be factual not sentimental.

You are obviously a dułl fellow in coding why this clueless govt acts the way it does. Just be assured that the coming days will unearth a lot of the government cluelessness to the world.

lanreni:

but what are those monies doing in his residence if i may ask? or using your own logic, are the monies ipob bribe?

you mean at your age you still fail for the fails and media trial by the DSS?

Only osochi egbus support Buhari

The woman deserves to be in prison. She is a humbug.

Buhari and DSS is pained that justice Ademola didn't do their bidding in granting Nnamdi Kanu unconditional bail and as if that was nt enough he removed every barrier obstructing the commencement of actual trial in Buhari WASC case

HAS niGERia UNDER HITLER BUHARI OFFICIALLY BECOME A TERRORIST STATE?

Not long after the current president of niGERia popularly known as the African Hitler Muhammadu Buhari (AHMB) assumed office that PETE HOEKSTRA who incidentally is a senior fellow at the Investigative Project on Terrorism in Washington DC wrote to warn all that cared to listen that ’BUHARI IS NIGERIA’s PROBLEM, NOT ITS SOLUTION’’. According to him everything points to the fact that Hitler Buhari does not only give tacit support to terrorist organizations but equally implements their ideologies.

It’s on record that not long after AHMB became president that the 4th most dangerous terrorist organization in the world, the Fulani herdsmen developed the mentality of ‘’one of us is in power’’ which has enabled it to murder thousands of innocent citizens since May 29th, 2015 with the tacit support of the government in power as the government looks the other way while the killings on unabated.

In other times when the government even tries to act, it chooses to fight against those who are advocating for the stoppage of the injustice in the land.

Just weeks days ago, the Chief of Defence Staff. Gen. Abayomi Olonishakin was quoted as warning the freedom fighting group, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the militant groups in the Niger Delta clamouring for secession (sic) to refrain from the acts or be dealt with.

Not done with his clueless rants; the CDS vowed that those agitators for freedom will be dealt with if they do not desist. He further quoted the ex-Head of State, retired Gen. Yakubu Gowon saying ‘’to keep Nigeria one is a task that must be done’’

One therefore wonders if the government continued justification of the killings by the Fulani Herdsmen which it has blamed on "foreign" terrorist groups is a way of "keeping Nigeria one that must be done"

The CDS inability to warn the murderous Fulani herdsmen to desist from further killings instead of warning peaceful right to self-determination advocates as enshrined in the UN charter further confirms the known OPEN SECRET that niGERia under AHMB has officially become a terrorist state where terrorist organizations can kill innocent citizens at will and go scot free from the long arms of the law.
The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen Tukur Buratai equally supported his defence counterpart restating the determination of the Army to tackle the myriad of security challenges facing the country which he named as the activities of the Niger Delta Militants and the call for secession (sic) by members of the Indigenous People of Biafra thus leaving out any mention of the activities of the murderous Fulani herdsmen.

Under AHMB, the Department of State Security (Gestapo DSS) now kidnaps innocent citizens at will without charging them to court. The organization has become a serial kidnapper of citizens. The worse is that like the conventional kidnappers that makes contact and demands ransom from the victim’s family for his or her release, the terrorist DSS under Buhari kidnaps its victims and keep them incommunicado from their families and loved ones expecting the families to be the ones to make contact with it and negotiate the ransom for their release.

Its to be noted that the Gestapo DSS kidnapped Mazi Chidiebere Onwudiwe from his sleep since June 22 and has since kept him incommunicado. Nobody has been allowed access to him. Neither has he been charged to court incase if the Gestapo organisation believes that he committed any crime. That is detaining a man for a record of over 107 days without charge or allowed access to his family and lawyers. Not even the notorious Nazist Adolf Hitler regime whose protege the current president of niGERia is witnessed such a level of cruelity visited on innocent citizens.

Everything points to the fact that the Gestapo organisation is waiting for IPOB to contact them and make ransom release "offer" before Chidiebere Onwudiwe can be freed.

Feelers from the organisation points to that fact. The source who did not want to be quoted due to the sensitive nature of the issue confided in this reporter that he believes that there are just 2 alternatives to getting Mazi Chidiebere Onwudiwe released from DSS captivity.
Its either IPOB fills enforcement of fundamental human right suit against the DSS to force the Gestapo outfit to produce him in court or quietly make a ransom release "offer" to the DSS as the organisation has become totally terroristic in operations.
AHMB seems very determined to beat every record of cruelity that has ever existed in the world with his perchants for disobeying judgements of competent courts of the law in a democracy as every institution in the country has been bastardized under his watch. Not even the judiciary, the last hope of the common man is left out of AHMB bastardization and intimidation.

Just few hours ago, Justice Adebiyi Ademola, the fearless Judge of the Abuja high court who gave the famous judgement asking the federal government to release the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu for the failure of the government to fill the terrorism charges that the government alleges against the IPOB leader and Justice of Nnamdi Dimgba of same Abuja high court, who is famous for speaking out against the DSS flouting of court judgements had their houses raided by operatives of the DSS.

Facts points to the fact that the government is intimidating these honest and upright men who has failed to do the bidding of the government.

Note also forget that it was Justice Adebiyi Ademola that cleared every barrier that Buhari defence team had tried to put on the case filled by Barr. Nwankwo requiring AHMB to show proof that he possess the minimum WASC result required to contest for the presidency or be disqualified. Before the government intimidated and threatened the suit petitioner leading to his withdrawal of the suit.

Its on record that AHMB has not forgiven the honest judge for daring to ask him to do the needful and not accepting to do his biddings. Thus his determination to humiliate the man with the Gestapo-DSS.

Not even the Police is spared AHMB bastardization as it has become notorious for "crushing" dissenting voices and peaceful protesters.
Infact, niGERia under AHMB has gone to the Dog as every apparatus of democracy has been dismantled.

SIMPLIFYING THE THIRD CHARGE BROUGHT AGAINST MAZI NNAMDI KANU BY BUHARI’S DSS
 
The third and last frivolous charge brought against the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi  Nnamdi Kanu by the agents of the Department of State Services (DSS) bothers on the importation of equipment into Nigeria. The charge read thus:
“That you, Nnamdi Kanu between the months of March and April, 2015 imported into Nigeria and kept in Ubulusiuzor town in Ihiala local Government Area of Anambra State within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, a radio transmitter known as TRAM 5OL concealed in a container which you described as containing household items, which you so declared and that, you thereby committed an offence punishable under section 47(2) (a) of the Customs and Excise Management Act.”
 
Now, we publish verbatim, the referenced section-47 of the Customs and Excise Management Act (CAP C45 L.F.N. 2004).

CAP C45 L.F.N. 2004: CUSTOMS AND EXCISE MANAGEMENT ACT (Part III Section-47):
47. Penalty for improper importation of goods, etc.  

(1) If any person‐   
(a)   lands, or unloads in Nigeria, or removes from their place of importation or from any approved wharf, examination station, customs station or customs area‐         
(i)        any goods chargeable with a duty which has not been paid; or  
(ii)        any goods imported contrary to any prohibition; or  
(b)       assists or is otherwise concerned in such landing, unloading or removal; or  
(c)      imports or is concerned in importing any goods contrary to any prohibition whether or not the goods are landed or unloaded,  
then, if he does so with intent to evade any such duty or any prohibition, he shall be sentenced to imprisonment for five years without the option of a fine.  
 
(2) If any person‐  
(a)   imports or causes to be imported any goods concealed in a container holding goods of a different description; or   
(b)   directly or indirectly imports or causes to be imported or entered any goods found, whether before or after delivery, not to correspond with the entry delivered thereof,  
he shall be sentenced to imprisonment for five years without the option of a fine.  


Having cited the charges and the accompanying laws, let us now explain the charges in its simplest form as follows:

1) That Nnamdi Kanu imported an item into Nigeria between the months of March and April in the year 2015.

2) That the item imported is a radio transmitter called TRAM 5OL.

3) That Nnamdi Kanu kept the item (radio transmitter called TRAM 5OL) at Ubulusiuzor town in Ihiala local Government Area of Anambra State.

4) That the item (radio transmitter called TRAM 5OL) was concealed in a container and that Nnamdi Kanu described that container as containing household items.

5) That Nnamdi Kanu declared the container as containing household items.

6) That by declaring the item falsely, Nnamdi Kanu has committed an offence as described in section-47(2a).

7) That Nnamdi Kanu should be punished for the offence which carries a prison term of five years without the option of fine.
 
Please note that on the charge-sheet, the prosecution will be based specifically on section-47(2a) only and the DSS agents are very sure that the item was “imported or caused to be imported“ by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
 
We shall ask questions in the concluding part of this enlightenment series on the frivolous charges.

They are so daft to have called IPOB an unlawful society!
Not all lawful societies are registered in this Feared-ration!

Their problem is that the Zoo and it's clueless Gestapo DSS does not know the meaning Of indigenous or what it means for people to be indigenous to their land.

It's appalling how these children of Afonja will claim that the agitation for Biafra under Nnamdi Kanu's IPOB stated after the dullard of Daura won the 2015 presidential election even when the country's Gestapo DSS confirms that it started as far back as 2012 (3 years) before the clueless dullard even won the the election. This is why Biafrans don't take any news from the Zoo platforms serious. They are liars.

Public Enlightenment Series - #2

SIMPLIFYING THE SECOND CHARGE BROUGHT AGAINST MAZI NNAMDI KANU BY BUHARI’S DSS


We have decided to reserve all the questions we have for the agents of the Department of State Services (DSS) until we exhaustively explained the three charges fraudulently brought against the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Let us now look at the second charge brought against Nnamdi Kanu which read thus:

“That you, Nnamdi Kanu and others, now at large, between 2012 and September, 2015 at South-East geo-political zone and the South-South geo-political zone of Nigeria within the jurisdiction of this honourable court manage an unlawful society with more than 10 members to wit: unregistered with the Corporate Affairs Commission or any other registration authority to wit. The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) thereby committed an offence which is punishable under Section 63 of the Criminal Code Act, CAP C38, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004.”


Now, we publish verbatim, the referenced section-63 of CAP C38 as well as the preceding section-62 which defines UNLAWFUL SOCIETY:

CAP C38 CHAPTER 9 Unlawful societies
62. Definition of society and unlawful society.
(1) A society includes any combination of ten or more persons whether the society be known by any name or not.
(2) A society is an unlawful society-
(i) if formed for any of the following purposes-
(a) levying war or encouraging or assisting any person to levy war on the Government or the inhabitants of any part of Nigeria; or
(b) killing or injuring or encouraging the killing or injuring of any person; or
(c) destroying or injuring or encouraging the destruction or injuring of any property; or
(d) subverting or promoting the subversion of the Government or of its officials; or
(e) committing or inciting to acts of violence or intimidation; or
(f) interfering with, or resisting, or encouraging interference with or resistance to the administration of the law; or
(g) disturbing or encouraging the disturbance of peace and order in any part of Nigeria; or
(ii) if declared by an order of the President to be a society dangerous to the good government of Nigeria or of any part thereof.

62A. Unlawful societies in a State. Without prejudice to the provisions of section 62 of this code, a society is an unlawful society if it is declared by an order of the President to be a society dangerous to the good government of Nigeria or of any part thereof, and for such purpose the consent of the Attorney-General of the Federation referred to in section 65 of this code shall be construed as a reference to the consent of the Attorney-General of the State.

63. Managing an unlawful society.
Any person who manages or assists in the management of an unlawful society is guilty of a felony and is liable to imprisonment for seven years.


Having cited the charges and the accompanying laws, let us now explain the charges in its simplest form as follows:

1) That the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is a society.

2) That the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) being a society ought to be registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (possibly referring to CAP C20 L.F.N. 2004) or any other registering authority in Nigeria.

3) That the Indigenous People of Biafra is an unlawful society but no attempt is made to specify the condition(s) stipulated in section-62(2) that qualify IPOB to be classified as an unlawful society.

4) That although the DSS does not know the total membership of the unlawful society (IPOB) but they are are very certain that the members are more than ten [atleast that will satisfy section-62(1)].

5) That Nnamdi Kanu and an indeterminate number of persons whom the DSS don’t even know are the actual people managing an unlawful society (in this case IPOB).
6) That these “unknown persons“ are “at-large“, meaning they could even be on the moon or under the seabed.

7) That Nnamdi Kanu and these “unknown persons“ are managing the unlawful society (IPOB) within the South-East and South-South regions of Nigeria only (no other region was mentioned in the charge sheet).

That Nnamdi Kanu and these “unknown persons“ have been managing this unlawful society (IPOB) from
2012 (no date and no month) to September (no date) 2015.

9) That Nnamdi Kanu and these “unknown persons“ have committed the offence of a felony by managing unlawful society (IPOB) and should be punished on conviction for a prison term of 7 years as stipulated in section-63.


Please note that the charge sheet did not specify which of the condition(s) stipulated in section-62(2) that qualified IPOB as an unlawful society. Probably, the DSS lawyers are keeping that information up their sleeves for the legal arguments in the court.

As stated earlier, we shall ask our questions after explaining the third charge.

This is a recycled news which she has clarified. She said that it the govt under GEJ that lacked the political Will to save and it was caused by the activities of NOW and ex APC governors like Rotimi Amaechi, Adams Oshiomole who took the govt to court insisting that even the saved money should be shared and the court agreed with them and NOT GEJ as a person. It's appalling that rather than blame the APC governors that caused the problem APC as a party is trying hard to twist her statement to exonerate the crooks in their folds.

So GEJ is now the APC governors like Amaechi, Adams Oshiomole and others that took the govt to court insisting that even the few saved dollars should be shared and further savings stopped?

Tallesty1:
Careful guys, Mynd is here

He also needs this level of free legal education including his oga at the top.

I pray he keys into this free education Series with others to truly see how waterless the case the dullard and his fellow cow worshippers (apologies to Shakaeu) are celebrating is.

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.

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.

Hahahahahahaha , how will south east or Nnamdi Kanu stop APC from winning 2019 elections? Lol, u igbos never voted for him in 2015. 2015 elections exposed and proved that APC can do with or without ur vote, after all, ur people still thinks APC IS AN Islamic party, so we no dey expect una vote, the north is enough to swallow the east. But Kanu will still remain in prison till eternity.

Did you wake up from the wrong side of the mat? (Cos am sure that you can't afford a bed)

Press Release

THE NEED FOR HON. JUSTICE JOHN TSOHO TO HANDS-OFF NNAMDI KANU’S CASE AND TURN-IN HIS RESIGNATION TO PREVENT HIS UNAVOIDABLE DISMISSAL


The Hon. Justice John Terhemba Tsoho, born 24th of June 1959, must hands-off Nnamdi Kanu’s case as the trial Judge. In addition, he must turn-in his resignation in order to prevent unavoidable dismissal by the National Judicial Council (NJC). Already, the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), The Hon. Justice Mahmud Mohammed, has sounded a note of warning to Judges like Hon. John Tsoho that they shall be punished for their judicial somersaults and miscarriage of justice. Based on available evidence and facts related to the ongoing court case involving the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, we believe that the most honourable thing for Hon. Justice John Tsoho to do is to excuse himself from the case as the trial Judge as well as turn-in his resignation to avoid being axed for impropriety on the job.


We recall that on January 29, 2016, Hon. Justice John Tsoho in his first ruling denied bail application made by Nnamdi Knau’s lawyers and the denial was based on three frivolous reasons which were:
1) That Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was a threat to national security.
2) That if released, Nnamdi Kanu might commit the same offence again.
3) That there was a probability that Nnamdi Kanu might jump bail because he possessed dual citizenship.


On the 9th of February 2016, Hon. Justice John Tsoho ruled that items belonging to Nnamdi Kanu should not be returned to him even when such items were not listed as part of the exhibits in the case and this ruling runs contrary to sectio-10(7) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) of 2015. Part of the items being requested to be released to Nnamdi Kanu were cash in sums of $2,200 & N87,000 and his two International passports (British and Nigerian). We should also keep in mind that at this time, Nammdi Kanu was already remanded in Kuje prison and we are wondering why Hon. Justice John Tsoho will not release the non-listed items to someone in prison custody.


On the 19th of February 2016, the Hon. Justice John Tsoho in his ruling, dismissed prayers by the DSS lawyer to hide the identities of prosecution witnesses for which the DSS lawyer wants to enforce under section-232(3) of ACJA-2015. This ruling was welcomed by all and seen as a sound judgment based on correct interpretations of the law especially section-36(4) of the Constitution and section-232(4) of ACJA-2015 which correctly specified and streamlined the conditions for which section-232(3) should be applied.


Surprisingly on the 7th of March 2016, instead of the Hon. Justice John Tsoho to apply section-351(1) of ACJA-2015 which specifies the dismissal of the case for non-appearance of prosecution witnesses, he unilaterally and without an appeal from DSS lawyer reversed his judgment of February 19, 2016, thereby making it possible for DSS witnesses to testify with masks or as masquerades. When questioned by the defense counsel as to why he changed his mind without directing DSS to appeal to a superior court, the Hon. Justice John Tsoho lied that he was merely clarifying his ruling when in actual fact the said relief he was referring to never made mention of testifying behind a screen. When the Hon. Justice John Tsoho realized that he lied in his own court, he deliberately withheld the rulings because he knew he would be exposed and that he cannot alter a judgement he pronounced publicly in a court of law. We wonder what fellow 1984 University of Lagos law graduates will be thinking of Justice Tsoho and his judicial acrobatics.


In the meantime, on the 9th of February 2016, Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyers applied for Certified True Copy of Justice Tsoho’s judgment of January 29, 2016. Also, application for Certified True Copies of the last two rulings mentioned above were made on the 8th day of March 2016. We would like to remind everyone that in the Nigerian Constitution, section-36(7) allows only seven (7) days for the Court to keep judgments/rulings after which the judgments/rulings must be made available to the accused person. However, it is on record that the Certified True Copies of the three aforementioned rulings were made available to Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyers after a formal complaint was sent to the office of the Hon. Chief Judge of the Federal High Court. The formal compliant was sent on April 11, 2016 and the three Certified True Copies were released to Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyers on April 25, 2016.


In other words the Certified True Copies were released:
(1) two months and fifteen days after the ruling of February 9, 2016,
(2) two months and six days after the ruling of February 19, 2016, and
(3) one month and 18 days after the ruling of March 7, 2016. All of these are in contravention of section-36(b) and section-36(7) of the Constitution of Nigeria. In addition, Justice Tsoho dismissed Nnamdi Kanu’s application for stay of proceedings within 24 hours of obtaining the excessively delayed documents mentioned above.


From the foregoings, it is crystal clear that the Hon. Justice John Tsoho lacks the moral, ethical, and judicial burden to continue as the trial Judge on this case. As a public officer identified in the Fifth Schedule Part-II(5) of the Constitution, the Hon. John Tsoho has violated his Judicial Oath, he has violated section-36(7) of the Constitution and he has violated the Fifth Schedule Part-I(9) of the Constitution he swore to uphold at all times. We therefore urge the Hon. John Tsoho to hands-off the case of Nnamdi Kanu and immediately tender his resignation to the Hon. Chief Judge of the Federal High Court in order to avoid his impending dismissal.


We call upon the Hon. Chief Judge of the Federal High Court to transfer Nnamdi Kanu’s case to another Judge of the caliber of the sagacious and fearless Hon. Justice A. F. A. Ademola so as to salvage what remains of the battered image of the Nigerian Judiciary.


Mazi Nnamdi Kanu looks forward to battling the DSS in court under an unbiased trial Judge and we are confident that victory shall be that of Nnamdi Kanu’s.

we all know that this biafrau'd agitation is a wash. What the igbos need is compensation in politics

Go and compensate your family and ethnic group. We need no compensation. We just want out

It took almighty USA 10 Years to smoke Osama out with their wealth of intelligence.

This section is not for u kid!

Are you confusing the actual elimination of Osama by USA with his "smoking out?"

SamuelAnyawu:
90% of Igbos in the villages are loyal to Catholic and Anglican church than the IPOB....


IPOB be careful not to incur the wrath of these worshippers oooooooooooh


Ask Ohakim how market?

. And IPOB members are non Catholics and Anglicans? FYI, Biafrans are now wiser than the period in time when the agent of the Sokoto Islamic Caliphate of the Muhammaduan Empirate of the north, Rev. Ejike Mbaka told lies that Ohakim beat up a priest because he wanted the sent forth soldier leader of Islam in Biafra Land in the person of Rochas Okorocha to win the election from the back door. Did Mbaka no later confess that he lied? Did our people not learn from that episode? FYI, IPOB membership cuts cross catholic, anglicans and others, unfortunately for your likes, they are people who put their nation, Biafra first before religious affiliation
