1) And you think that will be an issue? They don't even need to worry themselves about that. Namdi Kanu recorded himself saying he has formed the ESN (under the pretense of fighting herdsmen). That alone is a punishable crime as he has no right to do such and the moment those witnesses show evidence of being ESN members, Kanu is a goner.

2) Namdi Kanu's lawyers won't "expose" anything. You are talking as if we both don't know that they take orders from Kanu.

Yes ... It is also important to note that ESN isnt backed by any law.. which makes it illegal...

Him forming such organisation is already a crime

sweetshisha:


Protect the bush by giving them illegal firearms?! Assualt war grade riffle that are unregistered?!

That's even more offense,

To capitalise on this, FG would produce videos of Kanu at Ibo World Congress openly soliciting for funds for fire arms,

or his videos or tweets where he asked Ibos to report Security checkpoint accross Ibo land to him, giving his number

How will you prove he gave them illegal arms? Its all about what you can prove

He is cornered in every angle. He could have escaped jail before 2017 but this time, even a rookie lawyer could throw jail Namdi Kanu. This is why bravery (if you can use that word on Kanu) leads to foolishness.

Etinosa1234:


Lol... Nnamdi Kanu was seen on videos stating that he was the one who established ESN..

The prosecution will surely prove his influence over Igbos in Nigeria based on the fact that he's there supreme leader..

No matter what the defence has to say, Nnamdi Kanu can never be discharged unconditionally..

He wont be on trial for forming ESN, anybody can form any group

Etinosa1234:


U are deceiving ur self...

If the prosecution can prove that the captured person was part of esn/ugm that terrorised South East, there is nothing Kanu do/ say.

There are more than enough evidence of him inciting violence, soliciting for funds to sponsor terrorism in the country... That in its own is an act of treason under the criminal code... .. Nothing u can say or do

If you prove that someone was UGM or ESN and was involved in whatever crime, Kanu will simply say that the person acted on his own

ESN does not have to be backed by any law, the vigilante group guarding my area isnt backed by any law either

Vigilante is backed under the new Police Act 2020 as community policing ..and they have their modus operandi....

Firstly they must be registered by the government.

Every state has their own Law regarding backing of vigilantes in Nigeria

For example , Edo state has the Edo State Community Vigilante Security Network which regulates the activities of vigilantes in the state..

This is so that one individual will not wake up and form a militia under the guise of vigilantes

Lagos has a vigilante organisation also registered and backed by the government


ESN didn't fulfil any of this and its deemed illegal irrespective of his motive

Lol... U are shooting ur self in the leg....
Actions are louder than words...

Read abt vicarious liability... Kanu formed a security organisation... Kanu will be held liable for actions of any of his members

Kanu can't simply say that he acted on his own... His case will be trashed in court


I can cite cases for u where an employer was held liable for the act of an employee

Kanu is already a dead guy

Self defence is a universal right. There are many vigilante groups in Nigeria. If I and 5 of my friends decide to form a vigilante group to watch over my area due to incessant robberies, that is in no way illgas. The constitution gives everyone freedom of association, and to form association

Who said cult groups are illegal? Even Wole Soyinka was a proud member of Pirates confraternity. It is their activity that may be illegal

Self defence is a right if done when attacked and the court will support it...


But When the prosecution proves that the activities of unknown gunmen in the east is linked to ESN/IPOB/Kanu, the case of self defence will be useless in this regard ...


U can't throw the right of self defence anyhow

Lets say an IPOB member goes for a robbery operation and gets caught. Will you blame Kanu for the robbery? The only way you will be able to blame Kanu is if you can prove that Kanu actually sent the person to commit the act.

How the prosecution will prove that remains to be see. Kanu's defence team will bring numerous evidence where Kanu said that he does not know who UGM and that ESN's only job is to protect the bushes

It will be their word against Kanu's word

gidgiddy:

Lol... U are seriously whining...

Almost all universities have banned cult groups and u are here saying that they are not illegal

Mention one educational institution where cultism is openly supported

Ur last line is very fallacious...

So what makes a group illegal apart from it activities?

Is it not through it acts that it's being adjudged illegal or not

The First question that will be asked was who gave him the weapon used for robbery..

If it's linked to ESN, then Kanu will be held liable because he was the one who gave the weapon to the robber even though he used it for activities not required by his organisation...

That's why any time a police robs or commits a crime, u Sue the Police employer that is the government along with the police who robbed

U don't Sue only the police... Both the govt and the police will be held jointly liable

Same as Nnamdi Kanu and UGM

Omoiya mi. Please don't say that we Yoruba need to be neutral on this matter.

The fact that he said such will not avail him of governmental sanctions..

There are many cases where Kanu has been seen saying that Nigeria must be burnt to The ground... That alone counters his former case that he didn't know who ugm is because he has indirectly supported the actions of UGM


There are also instances of him placing bounty on the heads of South East leaders... Given the fact that he already established a security organisation.. such will be viewed as a big threat ..

That also negates the claim that he didn't know who UGM was

Thats what Im saying, that the entire case against Kanu is based on uttrances and hearsay, and thats why the case will fall like a pack of cards

In a criminal case, the court is interested in what was done, not what was said.

gidgiddy:


IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, has his case coming up on the 26th of July. I see two things happening. The federal government will seek to increase the charges against him, and Kanu's defence team are going to seek accelerated hearing, which will likely to be granted as the case is over 5 years old with no headway made. But here are 3 reasons why Kanu is likely to be discharged and acquitted of all charges

1) Acelerated Hearing- It is usually helps the defendant as the pressure will be on prosecution to get their case right. Any delay by the prosecution can result in the case being thrown out of court. One false move could destroy the Prosecution's case, without any time to rectify it

2)Kanu's trial is going to attract a lot of media attention and scrutiny. The trial judge, Justice Binta Nyako, will have to do things by the book or her reputation will be shredded. There will be no room for sentiments. This will not be one of those trials where a biased judge who does not like the face of a defendant, will stretch their power of discretion unduly against the defendant. This case will be based on the evidence put before Justice Nyako, and nothing else

3) I suspect that the main thing the prosecution will do is try to say that Kanu's ESN is responsible for the insecurity in the South East. They will go and dig up Kanu's videos, tweets and broadcasts and try to link him to unknown gun men. Kanu's defence will then bring out videos and tweets of where Kanu has consistently said ESN are not the unknown gunmen. It will be Kanu's word against theirs. If the case of the prosecution is going to be based on the utterances of Kanu on Radio Biafra, the case is almost as good as dead.

On your third point, MNK can even claim he is not the one behind those videos

thebosstrevor1:
1.Kanu will be thrown in jail( life imprisonment)

2. No media house will near the court, the court case will be done in secret.

You people sef, well let's see. Anything can happen

Booom!!!

*FG would start producing captured ESN members in court to give testimonies of Kanu's terrorism orders, how he recruited them , trained and armed them to fight Nigerian government

*Evidence gathered at Ikonso's hideout would be presented to the world, phone logs, chats , emails

*For Kenyan Government to detain Kanu for 8 days before his extradition (according to Kanu's Family) Kenya and Interpol have another new case on him, soliciting fire arms, or money laundering to fund terrorism

*Ahmed Gulak that was murdered in Imo State, his family and friends, his relatives plus PDP associates (Atiku, Goodluck Jonathan, Kwankwaso) would gather even more witness and evidence to get Kanu ended permanently

*Nyemsom Wike would produce the arrested ESN members that bombed his father's church, and show the world where Nnamdi Kanu gave a 100 million bounty for who ever kills and deliver his head

*Supreme court Justice Mary Odili from Mbaise Imo State has two axe to grind,

1: Kanu disrupted the peace in her town
2: Kanu disrespected her godsons, Nyemsom
Wike and Hope Uzodinma



.

If you think an Igbo woman would convict Kanu then you are entirely brainless, tbh you were making a little sense till you mentioned Mary odili

gidgiddy:


It is lawless but Kanu's trial is of an international dimension. His repatriation to Nigeria is already causing a storm and the trial will be heavily scrutinised.

What makes me laugh is that some Nigerians think that all is needed to jail Kanu is to play one or two audio of him making verbal threats

I dont think these people realise that if making verbal threats is all that is needed to jail a person, everyone would be in jail

Verbal threats is just trash, Nigerians are daft

Why can't you sacrifice one man for peace to reign? Stop making him look like a god. Your primary concern should be how to restore peace in Alaigbo, even if it means sacrificing one man. He's not better than all those who have died for his cause.

You are daft, first off We are Igbos, we are not sacrificing anybody
