Notwithstanding, occfx has said let them appear first, they will attest to the goodness of Satan.
The joke is on you man. The law doesn't allow any one to be forced to stand as a witness. It is willingly done by law.

The only time anyone is compelled to give testimony as a witness is when they are on subpoena issued by the trial judge. The trial judge will only issue a subpoena when he is convinced that the testimony of the potential witness is necessary, relevant and fundamental to the defence of the defendant.

In the case of majority of the listed persons on Nnamdi Kanu's list, the judge himself will also have a good laugh and just refer the legal team to the person they want to stand as witness for them for his consent and willing desire to appear, otherwise, there is nothing the judge will do; the judge will not issue a subpoena.

Period.

How I wish this criminal called Kanu committed this heinous crime during Babangida or Abacha’s era.


By now he would have received a welcome party by Emeka Oloju kwukwu.

He needs to be used as a deterrent to others who equally nurture the ambition of disrespecting the symbols of our sovereignty .
like say you will live forever on this rotten earth.

The judge is not to be influenced by who or whatever you, Nnamdi Kanu or anyone is.

Who cares about your profile in court when justice is at stake.
nobody is talking about individual here, we are talking about the case. They instituted a case against him and they have to come out and defend it.

Who instituted the case against Nnamdi Kanu?

You sound like another Nnamdi Kanu already?

the government instituted a case against him and they are all part of the government.

Does followership or association with Nnamdi Kanu make people lose their sense of reasoning or become stupid?

What is the relevance of a current Governor of Lagos State testimony as a witness in Nnamdi Kanu's case?

He never met Sanwo Olu, they have never had any dealings so why request the judge to subpoena him? Especially since I am so sure Sanwo will not come as a witness for him willingly.

Take a look at his list of witness and see how ridiculous Nnamdi Kanu is looking.

It is laughable.
Section 9 (b) of the Evidence Act, 2011;
Facts not otherwise relevant become relevant if by themselves or in connection with other facts they make the existence or non-existence of any fact in issue or relevant fact probable of improbable.

The immediate facts in issue is the "oneness" of Nigeria. Kanu is of the opinion that the country is not one and his people desire to separate themselves from the Nigerian entity.

You ask, how is the invitation of Wike or Abdulsalami relevant?

Simple, if by the actions or statements of these political actors, they have shown Nigeria is indeed not one, their actions or statements becomes relevant in discussing Kanu's defence to the extent that he has not said or done a thing not contemplated by these state actors in time past.

But for Tinubu being president, I'd want to see his invitation to answer questions on the statement credited to him in time past that "Nigeria is not one."

The evidence of these witnesses which otherwise won't be relevant have become relevant in proving the existence of a fact in issue, ie, "the oneness of Nigeria" which DSS says has been threatened by Kanu.

Indeed, followership of Nnamdi Kanu makes people lose sense of reasoning.

Check through my profile and confirm for yourself that I am far from being a fan of Kanu.

You probably would think me a Tinubu supporter sef.

We can't all give up of logic and sound reasoning because we support a tribe or party. That's what zombies do.

I'd appreciate it more if you engage me as a lawyer and flaw my analysis. I won't blame you if you fail as I don't think you are a lawyer.

I have no need for this argument here. The defendant (Nnamdi Kanu) and Prosecution lawyers will argue it out in the court.

I believe the courts want to give it accelerated hearing; the case is already tiring. Just follow the developments in court.

We shall see.

You made submissions that were accordingly counter-argued, now you reverting to court. The issues being debated may not be exactly as debated in court. However, I'll leave you at this.

Maybe it makes their supporters foolish. You should ask the APC supporters.
