Nnamdi Kanu has made history in Nigeria as the first person in history to represent himself in a federal terrorism case.

Nnamdi Kanu has already won his case, the signs are unmistakable.
I was in the future and it is clearly saw Nnamdi Kanu walking free.
The Federal Government’s case collapses under the weight of its own lies and the streets of Nigeria erupt with jubilation all over.
From the East to the West, from the North to the Niger Delta. People pour out in celebration as the man they tried to silence stands tall in victory

What we are witnessing in real time is not just a trial it is the most defining legal battle in Nigeria’s modern history. Nnamdi Kanu has chosen to represent himself in court and by doing so, he has taken full control of his destiny. He now stands as both defendant and counsel... a man armed not with weapons but with the Constitution of Nigeria itself.

And make no mistake that Constitution is his sword and shield. Every motion, every objection, every line of cross-examination will be strategically precise. Kanu once declared that he would use the Constitution of Nigeria to defeat the Federal Government and that prophecy is unfolding before our very eyes. His mastery of the law is surgical his confidence is unshakable.

Under the law, representing himself means he possesses the same rights as any senior advocate

[b]The right to cross-examine witnesses,

The right to tender evidence and exhibits,

The right to object to falsehoods

The right to address the court directly.

This is where things get historic.
For the first time, the man the government branded a “terrorist” will now stands face-to-face with the real architects of terror, those who spilled the blood of innocent people. When Nnamdi Kanu finally locks eyes with Buratai, Malami, Bichi, Hope Uzodimma, Sanwo-Olu, Umahi, Wike and the rest, the truth will be laid bare before the court.

I can already picture the moment when Kanu will rise, fix his gaze on Buratai and thunder:

“You ordered soldiers to invade my home, kill my father and massacre twenty-five innocent people. I put it to you that you are the real terrorist — a man unfit to speak of justice.”
In that one defining moment, decades of unchecked power excesses and lawlessness will crumble. Those who thought they stood above the law will now be forced to kneel before it.[/b]

For the first time in Nigeria’s judicial history, a man will have represented himself pro se without legal counsel in a terrorism case and defeated the full weight of the Federal Government in a criminal trial.
That victory will not just belong to him it will belong to every Nigerian who ever demanded justice and truth.

History is being written right before our eyes.
And when it is all over, the name Nnamdi Kanu will not just be remembered as a political prisoner, but as a man who used the very laws of Nigeria to expose its lawlessness.

Congratulations to Nnamdi Kanu the man who turned the courtroom into a battlefield of truth and won.

Stop lying Awolowo once represent himself.

shortgun:
This is how you people always twist history.
He did not represent himself.
Awolowo was represented by a full team of lawyers led by Chief Rotimi Williams (SAN)

Ttalk:
Stop lying like Peter Obi, and don't delve in what you have little knowledge about.

Lastly, quit SM and read so you won't embarrass yoursekf

This your chatGpt na from where?
You are the one embarrassing yourself with ignorance.

Chief Rotimi Williams (later SAN), Chief Kehinde Sofola and other senior Nigerian lawyers were part of Awololowo's legal team.
The only thing that happened was that he didn't get the foreign lawyers he wanted to join his legal team.

Yes, oh! To the unwise; KANU has represented himself that will end him in jail. It also means he is the first person that his lawyer used style to run away from because they knew he can not win the case if they defend him and it will tarnish their images. The only thing they can help him with is to keep delay and delay hoping there will be political resolution along his way or that Obi will become president and set him free.

Unfortunately, the DSS and the judge are smarter and well train to detect the tactics. This is not a Biafran judge that will be moved by emotions, that does not work with experience and well trained judge. If KANU case is simple and with hope they will win, no lawyer will use style to run away because they will claim compensation and it will boost their credentials. But they have seen the evidences, they know if they speak grammar for 2 years; that can't set him free or make them win the case.

The DSS and the judge also knew the tactics and that is why every attempt to delay the case were been thrown away to the dustbin until the lawyers can help him further not to spoil their own credentials. They must have discussed all these tactics and the truth of the matter with him.The day he suppose to open his case, he said he sacked all the lawyers, they can only deceive ipob/ESN and some obidients because their reasoning logic usually follow tunnel path to meet that of hamas

MaziObinnaokija:
. Make una continue to hail KANU,chest beating to his DESTRUCTION. The judge fit give/dash him 12 years in PRISON

shortgun:
That's exactly the point, there should be no double standards with the rule of law.

shortgun:
Kanu’s lawyers did not run. They withdrew in protest because the judge failed to determine the competence of the court to hear the case.

The Supreme Court has ruled severally that jurisdictional objections should be settled before hearing any case but this particular judge choose anyhowness and the lawyers left in protest

sreamsense:
I said they can only deceive unwise ones. The lawyers don't want to spoil their own reputation as SANs because they knew they can't win that case for him. The judge and DSS are smarter than Biafra lawyers teaching him the tricks to apply to prolong his case.

Today, he requested a 90-day period to enable him conclude his defence, but the court threw it away into dustbin and told him to start his defense in 24hours being tomorrow. Kanu and his lawyers will not sleep today.

His head is hot now as I am typing this message because they will be busy preparing for tomorrow. They never expected it, he thought he would be granted 90 days and after 90days, he would look for another tactics. But the well Yoruba trained judge that doesn't move with emotion is smarter to burst his bubble.

Go and borrow him the constitution he should quote tomorrow, because his head his hot now, he never expected that impromptu defense. The same lawyers that use style to run away now will be the one to resume back later when it comes to a stage they can handle for him. At moment, they are working for him at background.

When we tell you to run away from criminality, run! Stop beating empty chest! Criminality does not pay. If you are soaking garri with akara in your house with peace of mind, it is better than eating free turkey inside police detention with your freedom to go to mama Nkechi to buy Okpa or sleep beside your wife ceased. We warned him, but he didn't listen to wise counsel. He thought everybody thinks upside down like them

You are getting the whole thing wrong
The 90 days Kanu requested was for him to conclude his defence, not to begin it. You’re mixing up two different things.
Simply put, he asked the court to let his defence period run for 90 days in total. So, he's not delaying his trial.

The lawyers left in protest, yet u are deceiving yourself that Kanu will win, although u have admitted that the judge is biased?

Godfullsam:
Kanu is only using delay tactics. I wonder who is advising the man

If his 90 days request was granted, he will still seek another extension even before the expiration of the 90 days.

He is aware that he can't win this case, he is beginning to feels it is better for him to remain in detention than to face judgement while gaslighting his gullible followers to keep pressing for his unconditional release
.

But the truth is, he won't remain in detention forever.

The SE leaders should have a round table talk with balablu and get him released. Election is around the corner, they can even use the SE votes as a bargaining tools.
You can accuse the president of anything but you can't deny the fact that he is a listening leader.

Baba will oblige and grant him presidential pardon.

But unfortunately, kanu has used his radio biafra to insult and rubbish those who are in the best position to get him out of detention.

shortgun:
Nnamdi kanu has won many cases in the past against the government including the one where the appeal court discharged and acquitted him.

I think you are the one deceiving yourself here to think he will not win
