Nnamdi Kanu Backtracks On Defense, Says No Valid Charge Against Him by Newsgeek24(op): 10:51am On Oct 27, 2025
The detained self acclaimed leader of the proscribed separatist group, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has abandoned his earlier plan to call witnesses in his defence in his ongoing trial for alleged terrorism offences, Very Nigerian reports.

The Court on October 24 adjourned till October 27 for Kanu to open his defence. Kanu had written the court, indicating his intention to call witnesses and applied for witness summons.

When the case was called on Monday, Kanu said he has gone through the case-file and realised that there is no valid charge against him.

He argued that since he is convinced that there is no valid charge against him and since he was subjected to unlawful trial , there would no be need for him to conduct any defence.

Justice Omotosho advised him to consult experts in criminal law on the consequences of the option he has chosen.

The judge adjourned till adjourned till 4th ,5th & 6th November for the adoption of the final written addresses based on the defendant’s position that evidence led so far and the charge have not established any case against him or for the defendant to enter his defence.

He's very right, what is there to defend?

Accusing someone of terrorism without providing ingredients of terrorism found on him.



They real Case should be first court settle the jurisdiction of him to face trial, no saying he should add that among the written defense after his defense.



It shows they are not out for justice.






God bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu

But the court said that he has a case to answer and should open his defence. This means a prima case has been established against him requiring an answer. With this time wasting, the court should overrule him and ask him to open his defence. Thereafter, he should be shut out and sentenced accordingly. The penalty for his offences is 20 to 25yrs imprisonment with hard labour. He is getting nothing less than that

This man should be treated as a mentally challenged person.
He talks like, acts like, and proves continually that he is a mentally challenged person.

He should be transfered to a mental assylum and left there to heal.

Haaa!!! I said it's likely Kanu is depressed or showing early sign of mental instability or likely early sign of dementia this is no more a joke.

I may sound a bit raw but someone with a stable mindset can't be displaying these much pendulated mental syndrome

Don’t seat or stand too far with your request. You can arrange to meet him one on one to decide who will end as mentally challenged or who should relocate to a mental asylum.

"He argued that since he is convinced that there is no valid charge against him and since he was subjected to unlawful trial , there would no be need for him to conduct any defence."



Well,

Let the court deliver her judgement based on allegations, evidence and the submission of the defendant.

Make we close this chapter jare.

Laslas ..you sentence him, and it can be appealed

"The judge adjourned till adjourned till 4th ,5th & 6th November for the adoption of the final written addresses based on the defendant’s position that evidence led so far and the charge have not established any case against him or for the defendant to enter his defence."


The Judge is very lenient....warning him to think and think again...and giving him room to consult experts in criminal law again...hmmm..what more can the judge dohuh

At the end he is telling the court that he doesn't submit to it's authority and will not respond to the allegations made by the prosecution.

He is in effect, now telling the court to base its findings and conclusions on the presented evidence by the Government .

This can not be used in anyway to appeal further his case in a superior court since he refused to put up a defense on the allegations against him.

So what is he going to use to appeal in future ?

It appears he has resigned to his fate.

No, he knows he has committed crimes, but he doesn't want to plead guilty.

If you've ever listened to radio biafra, you will understand the extent of laws that this guy has broken

Re: Nnamdi Kanu Backtracks On Defense, Says No Valid Charge Against Him by dibusnotion: 11:38am On Oct 27, 2025
it is very glaring Kanu's lack of consistency prolonged this case.
always playing to the gallery, then retract, only to bring another gimmick
now i believe he was practically dictating for his legal team instead of listening to their professional advice.
it is obvious the way he speaks, so arrogant. Very dumb

Precisely. This is why I am mocking Kanu's Messiah worshipper on the thread below because, as I had stated to them, no sensible person will believe anything Kanu's witnesses will say, even if that will include Jesus, will invalidate the many evidence against Kanu to include verified audio of him asking for Lagos to be destroyed and Tinubu be killed.

We can all be emotional and sentimental but that of these lot is something else.

WizardOfNG:
Implicate and indict the Government of what exactly? Because you and your kinsmen are 'projectors' means what you fantasise about will become reality?

Adeyinka Grandson was jailed for hate speech alone. Ekpa is but a minion of Kanu.

Yet in your megalomaniac mind, the scenario is that mastermind and founder of IPOB will "disgrace Nigeria" with literally thousands of hate speeches to his name, public solicitation of funds to buy guns to fight Nigeria, damning video and audio evidence, forensic testimony will corroborate, instructing Tinubu and co be killed etc, etc.

Literally thousands of thing it can be proven Kanu did Adeyinka Grandson and Ekpa are not guilty of yet both found guilty and jailed.

Somehow, in your mind, Kanu will "disgrace Nigeria" because he childishly petitions some famous names as witnesses in his case. As if anything those will say in Court can distract from Kanu's countless clear and proven criminal actions he is standing trial for. Dey play.
Re: Nnamdi Kanu Backtracks On Defense, Says No Valid Charge Against Him by LCling:
facts when a lower high court like the high court defies a higher court unvacated judgement like the appeal court judgement their is an appeal court verdict judgement on the same issue unvacated I'm sorry for the high court judge ,govt biding and justice will clash, the accused may decide to stand on his rights and refuse the illegality then put Nigerian judiciary to public scrutiny and test. The accused have no right to stand defence on same issue before the lower court. The judge and the high court today is advertising illegality to Nigerian people trying to force justice on illegality. While the federal government of Nigeria is advertising kidnapping looking at Kenya court judgement, compensation and Kenya govt calls that Nigerian government violated their sovereignty by conducting state kidnapping on Kenya Soil without due process . Today the Nigerian public is watching the media houses, judge,the court,the judiciary,the security agencies,the federal government, as they to push this country to chaos by forcing illegality in name of justice. Public eyes are open

Confused hunchback terrorist

"I can play God when I want to. I choose who lives and who dies. I can destroy anywhere I want, I have destroyed". These were the words from the now humbled Nnamdi Kanu when he was hiding somewhere faraway from Nigeria instigating people against the government and committing crime against humanity
