I understand your point, but we also have to be clear about something important: there is no known Nigerian law that empowers a court to ban a Nigerian citizen from being in a place where more than a certain number of people are gathered. Bail conditions must be lawful, reasonable, and tied directly to preventing interference with the trial—not to restricting fundamental rights without legal basis.

Freedom of association, freedom of movement, and the right to peaceful assembly are guaranteed under the Nigerian Constitution (Sections 38, 39, 40 and 41). A court cannot impose a bail condition that outright contradicts constitutional rights unless there is a specific law allowing it—and in this case, there is none.

Even if the court wanted to restrict public speeches or rallies to maintain peace, that still does not translate into a lawful basis to forbid someone from being around more than 3 or 5 people inside his own home. There is no statute backing such a numerical restriction.

Secondly, the “information” the military allegedly received does not justify the use of military force on a civilian residence. The Nigerian military has no constitutional authority to carry out law-enforcement raids without a court order. That alone makes the invasion unlawful under Nigerian and international law.

Bro kanu was on tria by the court, hence the court has right to seize or withdraw some of rights, to tame him pending his tria, and he agreed to abound to the terms during his bail.

Keyin:
Many people often misrepresent the reason behind Nnamdi Kanu’s bail issue, ignoring the key event that forced him into exile. Kanu did not “jump bail” out of disregard for the law but was compelled to flee for his life. He was at his father’s compound in Afarakwu, Abia State, when the Nigerian military invaded the premises during the Operation Python Dance, killing over 23 unarmed civilians and even two security dogs. His family home was desecrated, and his life came under direct threat. If Kanu had remained there and been killed by the army, who would be standing trial today—his ghost?

Therefore, it is misleading and unjust to portray his absence as an act of defiance rather than self-preservation. The courts and the public should recognize that the circumstances surrounding his departure were driven by fear for his life, not contempt for judicial authority. True justice requires fairness, and fairness begins with acknowledging the truth.

The Court gave several terms and conditions alongside his bail,
1, no gathering of any type he should organize,
2. He shouldn't be found in a gathering more than 3 or 5 persons .

So there was an information the military received that kanu was conducting an ipob meeting in his house, that's why the military invade that day

kettykin:

AustineE1:
Of course 'he may be killed or jailed',because he is a Christian and the same reason Nigeria is now the focus of the world on christian genocide!

No longer because he is an igbo man

Justice Omotosho has continued the illegal unjust trial of Nnamdi Kanu, forcing a deadline that expires today (5th November) for Kanu to open his defense even when it is clear that he has no case in court. The Nigerian government keeps saying it has a case against Nnamdi Kanu, but when you strip away the politics and look strictly at the law, you can see that the government has no case.
Everything about the case from how he was kidnapped from Kenya to the phantom laws used to charge him violates the Nigerian Constitution and international laws that Nigeria is bound to uphold. This case against Nnamdi Kanu can only stand if it rests on a lawful foundation. Since such foundation is broken, it is obvious that what going on in Justice Omotosho's court is not a lawful prosecution, it is an illegal persecution, a judicial betrayal.

There is no law that supersedes the constitution,
section 1(3) of Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution states and I quote

"If any other law is inconsistent with the provisions of this Constitution, this Constitution shall prevail, and that other law shall, to the extent of the inconsistency, be void."

This means that once the government breaks constititional law, everything that follows becomes illegal. You can’t dispense justice on illegality.
Nnamdi Kanu’s kidnapping from Kenya in 2021, done without any extradition order, broke Nigerian and Kenyan law. The Court of Appeal in 2022 and the Kenyan High Court in 2025 both ruled that the extraordinary rendition was illegal.
By disregarding due process, Nigeria's government destroyed the court’s power to try Kanu. There is no law or court order that can upturn it.

- Extraordinary Rendition

The UN working group on arbitrary detention (2022) and the Kenyan courts have already ruled that Nnamdi Kanu’s arrest and transfer to Nigeria was illegal. Nigeria has signed treaties like the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which forbid this kind of illegalities and because these treaties are part of Nigerian law, ignoring it also means breaking the constitution. A trial that begins with a crime by the state itself cannot be legitimate.

- Right To Fair Hearing

Section 36 of Nigeria's constitution protects the right to fair hearing, presumption of innocence, and trial only under valid law.
These rights cannot be taken away not even in wartime or national emergency.
So when someone is dragged before a court after being kidnapped, denied proper access to lawyers, and charged under outdated laws, the trial is automatically void.

- None Existing Laws

Most of the charges filed by the government come from the Terrorism (Prevention) (Amendment) Act 2013 which was repealed in 2022 and replaced with the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act 2022. The new Act changed the definitions of some of these offences and penalties. You can’t prosecute someone today under a law that no longer exists that’s retroactive and unconstitutional. Even if the government claims there is a “saving clause,” it can’t override the Constitution or revive a dead statute. If a law seizes to exist, the charges relying on it are dead with it.

- Court of Appeal Ruling

On 13 October 2022, the Court of Appeal in Abuja discharged Kanu and said the government had lost jurisdiction because of the illegal rendition.
Under Section 36 (9) of the constitution states and I quote.

"No person who shows that he has been tried by any court of competent jurisdiction or tribunal for a criminal offence and either convicted or acquitted shall again be tried for that offence or for a criminal offence having the same ingredients as that offence save upon the order of a superior court."

The law is clearly against double jeopardy, once a person is discharged, he can’t be retried for the same matter. The Supreme Court’s 2023 decision sending the case back for trial ignored this law and the principle of finality. Simply put, once a higher court frees you, another court can’t restart the same case.

- Final Words

If Justice Omotosho has any regard for the law, then Kanu's trial should end today (5th November) with a verdict issued by Justice Omotosho declaring his immediate release/acquittal. Nigeria will once again break it's own laws if Nnamdi Knau is not released, if Justice Omotosho fails to uphold the constitition, the Nigerian judiciary will once again proof to the whole world that Nigeria is a shamelessly lawless country, breaking It's obligatory internatonal commitments and treaties to protect human rights, to guarantee fair trials and to forestall against arbitrary detentions.

Justice Omotosho's illegal unjust trial and sentencing of Nnamdi Kanu will be the final nail that will destroy what is left of Nigeria's judicial credibility forever.

And Kanu's only defense is that he is standing trial in a Nigerian court over what he describes as an illegal rendition despite Supreme Court saying the Government can go ahead with their case against Kanu.

Kanu is also claiming the offenses he is being tried for were committed outside Nigerian shores in England.

If Finland could go on and arrest, prosecute and convict Ekpa for inciting violence in Nigeria from the comfort of his home in Finland why can't Kanu face prosecution in Nigeria?

sreamsense:
Ok, like you once destroyed judiciary after putting LP, her lawyers and obidients to shame class they belong against Tinubu after election, right? KANU and his sacked lawyers knew there was no way they could win at court and his attempt to delay court has been bursted several times. All these laws you wrote out here, go and give them to KANU or you go there to defend him. There is no court session online

Very nice response, he should use all this law to defend himself

Walai:
The Nigerian government and highly connected Fulani covered up the killings and extermination of Northern Christians.
They used the influence of their daughter in UN to term the killings "farmer-herder" clash and blamed it on climate change.
It took IPOB connection and lobbying to counter the Fulani and get the world attention to the real fact.
On a serious note IPOB get superb connection. Imagine a group being able to lobby the America's Presidency and Senate and get their full attention to the Christian genocide in the Middle Belt. Infact, northern Christians and common Nigerians suffering from Fulani herdsmen insecurity should be thanking God everyday for IPOB. if we are to look at this whole thing with a sound, unbiased mindset, IPOB is the best thing to happen to common Nigerians in this case.

Who be this self delusional fellow

Felicity001:
Ask.yourself and then simply tell us simcenyou already have the answers tomyour question.

Epka was arrest this year or thereabout if I not mistaken, being tried with judgment already passed all in less than a calender year, but in your own country, this man has been arrested but has not been tried neither has.judgment been passed on him, why os niheria govt causing unnecessary tension by detaining him without any judgment for almost 5yrs now?

Isn't that a state of particular concern amd shame Common lets be real!

If the guy is guilty let him gave the law.

Imagine if Epka's case was being handled in 9ja this is the same way they would have handled it.

The corruption in the judicial system is the major problem bedeviling this country many of you dont know.

Until that is been address Nigeria will never get it right.

Oga Una too talk too much, simple question, wot is the difference between ekpa and kanu offences? Or kanu didn't commit any offense?

Trendie247:

gidgiddy:
Nnamdi Kanu has been in DSS detention for 5 years. In that 5 years, Nigeria has only gone from bad to worse. But some people still carry Nnamdi Kanu’s matter on their head like he is the problem of Nigeria

You kill or jail Nnamdi Kanu, how will it change anything for the better? You only make him a matyr to his people

Stop carrying Nnamdi Kanu matter on your head and start asking how your country got to the deplorable level it is where insecurity, hunger, injustice and poverty want to finish everyone, proving Kanu right that Nigeria is not worth belonging to

Una nor dey burn down Nigeria again if kanu is arrested by fg??

Felicity001:
Defend himself over what?

Dont you get it, did you read the script at all?

Police arrested you and charged you for stealing your own money or giving you wife doggy... and youre being forced to defend yourself in court, what do they want you to defend your self on? The vase is baseless, can you steal what belong to you? Aquaute and discharge this case and free the guy, simple!

It is clear, all of these is just a political show of shame and charade, the continuous detention of this guy will cause more trouble for Nigeria and unrest. Let the guy go

What is the difference between ekpa and kanu offences?

If u still never withdraw, msg me or quote me

_{Will Trump foot men visit the eastern parts of Nigeria as to cumb all the terrorists Killers of the Christians?, cos ipob and ESN don kidnap and kpai igbo Christian well well, and they are still kpaing}

Vibesman101:
So why are people discriminating those that bet and praise those who are into forex and crypto

I don't, cos I know both are gambling

Vibesman101:
Let's discuss this topic to help educate people on the difference between sport betting and forex or crypto trading including stocks and bonds.
I'm open to know also because this is a bit confusing, like if you see someone trading forex on his or her phone the person is applauded but if the same person is seen forecasting games on their phones the person is seen as a tout or something else.
So everyone's opinion is needed here.

Forex and crypto trading na sportybet wey wear suit and tie
