It is my joy he is chained like the criminal he is.

This boy Kanu just want to continue to eat watery bean in the prison

Dotherightthing:
Now it's evident that Kanu is the one delaying his trial

DomPerignon:
He intends to use the court as grounds to air his ideology and not his defense.

As per TY Danjuma , I know the only reason he is being listed is to have him repeat what he said about the Fulani rampage and call for self defense as justification of him forming ESN.

But what Kanu refuses to understand is that a call to self defense in the midst of real and portend danger as that posed by Fulani terrorists does not equate to forming your own armed militia which will later spiral out to become a real terror to the people they claim they are defending.

Gerhards:
You are in severe pains right now from all indications, i pray you handle it well throughout today

Ttalk:
Kanu is now turning to a comedian. There's nothing watery beans can't cause

buckeyemedia:
Exactly my point, so the court will force them to speak, if they say no that they were quoted out of context, the court will compel to agree with Kanu abi?

Look 👀 the man no get defense, he is on his own, the people he mentioned to come & testify on his behalf are probably @ home, or in their offices this morning laughing at him.

Just imagine the court tells TY Danjuma to appear, he writes back I am abroad on a medical trip, will not be back in Nigeria another 6 months, will the court wait for General Danjuma to come back before it proceeds?

Mrfeel:
Kanu knows the reason why he included those names as compellable witnesses ,they are not going to give testimonies in his favour but there are things they said and actions they took in the past that nnamdi kanu can use to his defence

Switruth:
You don't know anything. Read before quoting. The guy wan drag all of them with into the matter... Try dey read.... Not everything about Obi and Kanu you go dey mess yourself up

Commentor:
Between Kanu and those invited, guess who is sleeping in detention.

Mrfeel:
A civil defense armed militia for self defense yes , spiral out to become a terro to the people, this is something you or anyone can not proof in court, cause as long as nnamdi kanu and the civil defense militia he created are concerned they protected the people, provide your evidence

Cherrybae:
This is a smart move by kanu. The compileable witnesses if they appear will exonerate kanu via their testimony and cross examination.

Kanu lawyers are indeed wise.

I wish kanu all the best

Your witnesses should be willing to assist u, the man is calling people that will testify against him even if they agree to show up.

The same fate of his lieutenant Simon Ekpa is what awaits him, he has no defense, that is why he has tried to stall the prosecution all these years.

Of why do u think his lawyer joined a protest to free his client immediately after the prosecution closed their case?

Ejimakor won’t be in prison today if he was that wise

So I did some further digging and found a precedent in the case of Asari Dokubo v Federal Republic of Nigerian (2007) LPELR-958(SC).

Asari called on witnesses who refused to appear, so the trial judge issued summonses. Well, guess what happened? Even with the subsequent bench warrants issued, they maintained an uncooperative stance.

As you probably know, Asari was ultimately convicted despite the violation of his constitutional right to a fair hearing, which is guaranteed by section 36(6)(d) of our 1999 constitution.

By the way, our Supreme Court also ruled at the time that, while a witness can be compelled to give evidence in court, this right is contigent on the witness' availability.

Abi no be law we dey talk again?

The stakes is frigging high.

Gerhards:
Is TY Danjuma bigger than the court, we really get so many primitive people in this Country

Ttalk:
Your ignorance is legendary, show precedence where an enemy as a witness has helped a defendant win a case before in Nigeria judicial system.

Ignorance mix with arrogance will lead to self destruction

DomPerignon:
Which law gave him the backing to form his armed militia?

That alone is a threat to Government's monopoly on violence.

shortgun:
Oga I think you really need someone who's more educated to explain to you how the legal system of a country work.

The article clearly stated that there are two categories of witnesses in Nnamdi Kanu's list.
One of the category is compellable witnesses...this category of witnesses, like the TY Danjuma you mentioned will be compelled(forced) by the courts to appear before it. It doesn't matter weather they are willing or not.
In a country, nobody should be seen to be above the law. Not the president, Not even the federal government!

Mrfeel:
Convicted despite the violation of his constitutional rights to fair hearing, that's the sad point I want to hear, only in a backward country someone can not be given the right to fair hearing

SonOfDSoil01:
so in your deluded mind,a governor who’s cover by immunity will stand before a judge in a criminal case involving a terrorist leader? Continue consoling yourself

Mrfeel:
Which laws gave Fulani herdsmen the right to arm themselves attack whoever they want,then call the government for negotiation on their own terms , after the negotiating leave with the arms they came with,no arrest made ?

Lanretoye:
If this is true then I think the NMA only certified him physically fit,they did not examine him mentally.
E be like mazi don Dey ment…

DaddyJapan:
I deliberately put that remark in italics because the Supreme gave a different interpretation. It determined that no injustice was dispensed because the trial judge did issue summonses as he was constitutionally bound to do.

To sum matters up, the failure of witnesses to appears was framed as a problem that was beyond the court's control.

No be Nigeria we dey again?
