“Tell Me The Law!” – Nnamdi Kanu’s Fiery Challenge Leaves Justice Omotosho Silent In Terrorism Trial

EXCLUSIVE COURTROOM DRAMA: Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of IPOB, turns the tables on Justice James Omotosho with two unanswered questions that left the entire courtroom silent.

“Tell me the law under which I am being prosecuted.”
“In which law are you trying me?”

Judge’s Response? “I will tell you at the end of the trial.”

Kanu’s Instant Rebuttal: “I will enter defense — but only after the judge explains the law!”

This is not a trial — it’s a legal showdown.

E go clear 4una eyes
When dem sentence to an to life imprisonment or death by hanging
As far I am concerned kanu lack wisdom

Where is Sowore? I thought he was protesting for the release of an alleged terrorist. The least sentencing for Kanu would be 25 years in prison

floss:
If Nigeria government was trying alleged terrorists the way they went extra mile to Kenya to kidnap him, and finally convicting them without looking at tribe or religion, I don’t think any tribe will be crying foul …

But instead, those wielding guns in the north will be working around as vip bandits and terrorist giving Tinubu conditions.

Any day that Nigeria starts practicing regional government, competency and patriotism will become citizens

the emboldened solves the whole problem

They have given this terrorist 2many pity and chances ile can't try this rubbish in Iran,North Korea,usa,Russia or China Nigeria is still good
Same offense with someone ekpa of a truth kanu can't escape it
E lack wisdom and e wants to be leader.
Intelligent is different from wisdom iddiat terrorist the souls that have died will hunt you.
Great fought for Biafra n sign peace accord you thinks sturboon is is wisdom I sorry u.
The consequences is death by hanging or life imprisonment.

Both justice Awomolo and Omotosho are too small to intimidate Mazi NNAMDI Kanu with jail.
No Nigerian court has any jurisdiction to even think of trying Kanu and they know that, but just trying their lot if he could give in to their persecution but MNK is a man that knows the dictates of international law despite not been a lawyer. .
You can't stand under a state crime and want to prosecute an alleged crime. It can't happen so let the judges finish with their shenanigans and MNK will walk out free.

This one think Nnamdi Kanu will be released...dey play. Kanu will remain in detention forever and nothing will happen, he has been there for four years now and nothing happened....make una dey decieve una sef.

MNK knows he has a pretty bad case and that the best way out for him is to put up a false face of bravado.

Justice James Omotosho, being a seasoned judge, has opted to give him a last chance to put up his defense.

Failure to do so would be assumed as consent to the outcome of the decision of the court.

The trial judge, by tomorrow, would therefore proceed to give his final judgement and sentencing of the embattled and already court-wearied MNK.

If you know how legal proceedings are done you will realise they are silent because it is prejudice to talk when it is not appropriate. He should be the one to know which law applies and he has decided he is competent to defend himself.

odejimioflagos:
Kanu should do the needful and open his defense. He cannot be in a terrorism trial and expect to be let off the hook without defending himself.

What is his charge sheet reading?

🥱🥱🥱

Kanu knows what is ahead of him that's why he's trying to delay and drag the case for as long as he can.

Did you in anyway understand what was being contested? If you did not, simply ask questions.

PUBLIC BRIEFING NOTE
FRN v. MAZI NNAMDI KANU
Federal High Court, Abuja – Hon. Justice James Omotosho
Tuesday, November 4, 2025

KANU HAS NO VALID LIVING OR EXTANT CHARGE AGAINST HIM. NONE. ZERO. NULLITY.

THE ENTIRE CHARGE SHEET IS A LEGAL CORPSE — REPEALED, NON-EXISTENT, AND UNAMENDED IN OPEN DEFIANCE OF A SUPREME COURT ORDER.
That is not opinion.
That is black-letter law.
That is Section 36(12) CFRN 1999.
That is the Supreme Court judgment of 15 December 2023.
That is the truth the judge refused to acknowledge today.

PLAIN ENGLISH: WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN COURT – WITH REAL EXCHANGES
Kanu appeared in court, stood up, and represented himself. The courtroom was full, tense, and expectant.

1. Kanu: “My Lord, there is no charge before this court.”
Kanu immediately adopted his Motion on Notice filed on 30 October 2025, and said:

“My Lord, this court lacks jurisdiction. There is no charge against me that exists in any current Nigerian statute. I ask that the court strikes it out today.”

He requested a ruling immediately.

2. Judge refuses to rule, calls the application “not final.”
Justice Omotosho responded:

“This is not a final address. The court will take your motion at the appropriate stage.”

Kanu replied firmly:

“Jurisdiction is taken first, My Lord. Without a charge, there can be no stage.”

3. Kanu reads the Supreme Court judgment aloud in court.
Kanu opened the certified judgment of the Supreme Court (15 Dec 2023) and read the famous paragraph of Garba JSC:

“Count 15 does not exist in the body of Nigerian laws. It is unknown to our law. The prosecution must amend it.”

He looked directly at the prosecution bench:

“You were ordered to amend it. You disobeyed. Yet you forced me to plead to a count that does NOT exist. That alone nullifies this entire proceeding.”

4. Prosecution caught flat-footed – no law cited

Kanu turned to Awomolo, SAN:

“Learned Silk, please tell this court the extant written law I allegedly broke.”

Awomolo SAN paused, shuffled his papers, and remained silent.

The court gallery murmured.

Kanu repeated slowly:

“Just one law. The name, section, and statute in force today.”

Still no answer.

5. Kanu invokes Section 36(12) – the constitutional kill-switch

Kanu: “Section 36(12) is clear. No person shall be tried or convicted for any offence not defined in a written law. No written law = no offence = no charge = no trial = no detention. I should not be here, My Lord.”

Judge Omotosho replied:

“That provision applies at the point of conviction, not trial.”

Kanu shot back instantly:

“My Lord, respectfully, that is wrong. The moment the law dies, jurisdiction dies. The trial cannot begin. It is a nullity ab initio.”

6. Kanu cites global case law
Kanu raised his voice slightly and cited Lord Camden’s historic ruling in Entick v. Carrington (1765):

“If the offence is not found in our law books, it is not law.”

He added:

“My Lord must take judicial notice of the repeal. That is the Evidence Act, Section 122.”

Judge did not respond to the legal point.

7. Court tries to force defence to begin

Justice Omotosho: “Mr. Kanu, are you ready to open your defence or not?”

Kanu: “I will open my defence now — this minute — if you show me the extant law under which I am charged.”

Court fell silent.

8. Awomolo SAN attempts an attack — and fails
Awomolo SAN rose: “He is wasting the time of the court. He should proceed to his defence.”

Kanu faced him squarely: “Senior Advocate, you accuse me of wasting time? Produce the law. If you show it to me, I will enter the dock this second. Let the world hear it.”

Awomolo SAN sat down. Silent.

Observers whisper: “Checkmate.”

9. Kanu accuses the court of denying fair hearing

Kanu:“This is constructive denial of fair hearing. You refuse to acknowledge the repeal of the law, refuse to obey the Supreme Court, refuse judicial notice. That is persecution, not a trial.”

Court did not challenge the statement.

Adjournment

The court adjourned to: Wednesday, November 5, 2025 For Kanu to “enter defence or waive it.”

Kanu maintained his position: “No law, no trial.”

THE CHARGE SHEET — OFFICIAL AUTOPSY
Count Law Cited Status of Law Legal Verdict
1–6 Terrorism Prevention Amendment Act 2013 Repealed by TPPA 2022, Section 97 VOID
7 “Criminal Code Cap C45” + CEMA Cap C45 does not exist; Supreme Court ordered amendment — ignored; CEMA repealed 2023 NULLITY
No amendment.
No living law.
No jurisdiction.
No trial.

THE LAW — NO LEGALESE
Section 36(12) CFRN:
If the offence is not written in a valid law, no court can try you.

Aoko v. Fagbemi (1961):
Trying or convicting under a non-existent law = injustice.

Garba v. University of Maiduguri (1986):
Jurisdiction comes first. Without it, the entire trial collapses.

TODAY’S TAKEAWAY — IN ONE TRUTHFUL LINE
Kanu proved the charge is dead.
The court proved it does not want to admit it.

OUR DEMAND — NON-NEGOTIABLE
Obey the Supreme Court: Amend the charge or strike it out.
Respect Section 36(12): No law = immediate release.
End the charade. Free Mazi Nnamdi Kanu now.

Interesting! Kindly make a post on this bro

odejimioflagos:

Defend himself over what?

Dont you get it, did you read the script at all?

Police arrested you and charged you for stealing your own money or giving you wife doggy... and youre being forced to defend yourself in court, what do they want you to defend your self on? The vase is baseless, can you steal what belong to you? Aquaute and discharge this case and free the guy, simple!

It is clear, all of these is just a political show of shame and charade, the continuous detention of this guy will cause more trouble for Nigeria and unrest. Let the guy go

Garba v. University of Maiduguri (1986):
Jurisdiction comes first. Without it, the entire trial collapses.

Noted

They will keep you in Dss yard very soon.
Keep supporting injustice. Injustice will meet you soon.

Jayhome24:
No last chance anywhere, pls keep him in that DSS yard for as long as possible he is enjoying the place

His prime minister chop 6 years and started crying like a baby with all I'm prime minister of Biafra, I have Finland passport, I served as army, no one can stop me, no one can arrest me, I'm auto pilot leader, igbo must sit at home by force at the end 6 years hit him and he tuned cry cry baby same dey await Kanu we go humble him by force.

Nnamdi Kalu will be sentenced but the govt will release him for 2027 election. " No Victor No vAnguished "

adonainana:
But why did he sack his legal team

He could have easily opened his defence with his legal team and called witnesses who witnessed the army attacking him and his household

He has a lot he could have used to defend himself

You don't understand the law... With what law will they try him...?

U are given suspension in ur secondary skl when u break the law that says, dnt jump over the fence, dnt fight in school, don't do expo.... That is the law u broke that brought your suspension..

In this case, there is no law on terrorism, and no court has been granted power to try cases of terrorism...

It is a disfunctional system which kanu is taking advantage of..

Even if senate rushes to. Make the law now.. it would come late as he has done what he did before the law was set up

Shawarmagirl:
I just took my time read comments above me and I come into conclusion that those guys up doesn't know the law. All they are after is judgement because of tribalism.

Why is the judge threatening NK with last chance? NK is not the type that chicken out. Buhari offered him everything he refuse so threatening him with last chance is nothing to him.

He has repeatedly said he has no case to answer and no competent court in Nigeria has the right to trail him. Which law is Nigeria government is going to use to trial him?

Justice Omotosho should proceed with his judgement let NK matter go to rest.

Simple. You just summarised the whole scenario behind this trial.

One has maintained his stand that "NO LAW = NO TRIAL", and the court is beating around the bush, claiming they are giving him last chance.

The court knows that they don't have any case against MNK, that's why they are forcing him to open his defence. The court is just beating around the bush.

If the court had valid case/charges against MNK, they'd have tried and sentenced him long before now.

My happiness is that this issue of Nigeria government and MNK trial, has drawn the attention of the international bodies.

Make I see which law them go use trial and sentence MNK.

If Nigerians can leave emotions aside, they will know that this guy has no case to answer. But most people just hate him for no just cause.

Let's even say he did all that FG is accusing him of, MNK is saying you can't try him on illegality. The way he was brought into the country makes a mess of whatever they want to try him on....simple!

You guys can lie.

The first thing in a criminal trial is the government outlining all charges before the court and to which the defendant is expected to enter a plea as each charge is read out.

Kanu has already entered a plea of Not Guilty under Justice Omotosho after the case was handed to him.

To say no law exists in line with the charges right now after already entering a not guilty plea is ludicrous.

Kanu is searching for future grounds of Appeal to overturn the inevitable guilty verdict and he is attempting to create technical grounds by refusing to enter his defense on the grounds that he did not have a fair hearing that the judge ought to have assigned a lawyer to him who would have entered his final defense.

You simply don’t know anything about the law of your country LOL — SHAME on you BIG FOR NOTHING

Exactly why it’s called ZOOGERIA

Bar1941:
They should stop wasting their time on that serial murderer and sentence him based on the crimes he committed.

Please help us to sentence him abeg 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Free Kanu now.

beerfraud:
Kanu is running away from justice but he has failed this time

Apparently it is your judicial system who doesn’t know their laws

Yes he knows their law more than your illiterate leaders

FreeStuffsNG:
Ariwo kọ ni music. Empty barrels lo ma n pariwo

Empathy barrels like igboho — who is busy licking ice cream for the first time in London abandoning his Oduduwa request 😂😂😂😂— your law makers are all illiterates

chiagozien:
Full barrels you will help the judge tomorrow to deliver their scripts called judgement

SIMPLE 😂

chiagozien:
Tra!sh

Full time tr@sh

sreamsense:
Kanu tactics of causing delay doesn't go to work. He is not dealing with Biafra judge here. This judge comes from sophisticated region where their academic system remains the best in the country. Eh, mr Ipob man I am quoting, try to buy bread along on the 5th given to KANU because he may not sleep DSS where he is eating fine food, he may be now go and start his punishment in the prison and food may not be regular like he is being fed under DSS. Just tell them to pass your bread to him for the dinner

Cover your face with shame LOL

The problem the Govt has with this case is that it is a jamboree..

Even the judges handling this case are scared for themselves and for posterity..

The FG made a case against MNK difficult when it enjoyed releasing known terrorists and proud bandits in the the North. The FG even goes far enough to absorb them into our Armed forces.

If you can release Islamic terrorists and bandits who even have TikTok accounts, why are you keeping this man in jail with this jamboree, sit-today-adjourn-tommorow case. This is the question IPOB lobbyists are telling world powers to put before Tinubu and the FG..

The case has gone even beyond the judges and Tinubu himself. A case of the devil and the deep blue sea.

I do not envy Tinubu right now..
