Court Gives Nnamdi Kanu 24 Hours To Defend Terrorism Charges Against Him by NgeneUkwenu(op): 12:01pm On Oct 23, 2025
TERRORISM TRIAL OF NNAMDI KANU; ALL SENIOR ADVOCATES WITHDRAW FROM REPRESENTING THE DEFENDANT

At the resumed hearing of his terrorism trial, the leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu has challenged the jurisdiction of the federal high court to continue his trial.

The development followed the withdrawal of all Senior Advocates representing the defendant from the matter.

Nnamdi Kanu in his oral presentation before the court, alleged that the court of appeal has discharged him in his verdict.

Nnamdi kanu by the order of the court is expected to open his defence this thursday.

The presiding judge, justice James Omotosho ruled that the defendant should open his defence as jurisdictional issues and all others can be challenged at the court of appeal or included in his final written address.

The court therefore adjourned the matter till 24th october, 2025 for the defendant to commence his defence.

Kanu had earlier listed 23 witnesses to testify in his matter.

Nnamdi kanu is facing trial on a seven-count charge bordering on terrorism.

If serial murderers, drug pushers and Kidnappers are given presidential pardon by tinubu, then a freedom fighter should also be given presidential pardon.

Tinubu should release this man if he could release murderers, kidnappers and drug barons like himself in the name of presidential pardon.

Pardon is for convicted felons, he should plead guilty first, before any pardon.

That is how the system works.

One thing is sure, they can't intimate Mazi Nnamdi kanu.
They can turn truth upside down but can't intimidate him.

In a sane country and court,the jurisdiction of the case will be first decide not ordering it can be included in his final written address.



God bless Mazi Nnamdi kanu.

Yes let the defense trial begin and let the witnesses present themselves in the court of law for their own submissions and statements cool

The zoo will tremble and MNK will be set free after their lies and deceitful nature of the judiciary has been blown open by Onyendu himself without any help from anyone just as he proclaimed 🤗

MNK is a MAN kiss

Re: Court Gives Nnamdi Kanu 24 Hours To Defend Terrorism Charges Against Him by shortgun(m):
Thank God the world is now seeing the hand of Tinubu in Kanu’s illegal detention.

No wonder all the SANs withdrew from the case in protest.
A judge cannot legally ask a defendant to open defence while a jurisdictional objection is still unresolved because if the court later lacks jurisdiction, everything done in the court will be waste of judicial time.
Supreme Court has ruled on this severally

The judge should first rule that the court has jurisdiction before proceeding

Yes and look as how it is affecting the north?

You want the same for the south east?

Don't wish for government unseriousness. North is reaping their own in full

Mazi Kanu that lamented the death of his dog without caring a hoot about his several foot soldiers that died at his house.
Just pray that if Biafra should even be realized that a character like Kanu doesn't lead the country. That's when you guys would realize Kanu is all about himself and don't care about you.
