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

And Kanu's only defense is that he is standing trial in a Nigerian court over what he describes as an illegal rendition despite Supreme Court saying the Government can go ahead with their case against Kanu.

Kanu is also claiming the offenses he is being tried for were committed outside Nigerian shores in England.

If Finland could go on and arrest, prosecute and convict Ekpa for inciting violence in Nigeria from the comfort of his home in Finland why can't Kanu face prosecution in Nigeria?

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.

Just help the confused and disgraced SAN Awomolo cite the law under which kanu is facing trial. It is a big shame that after collecting huge legal fees, this man is just embarrassing Yorubas in partular and Nigeria in general before the entire world.

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

Based on which law? Help out the olodo brain-dead Senior Advocate of Nonsense

FreeStuffsNG:
Dey play.

The Judge gave him the grace because he is not a lawyer.

November 5 is tomorrow and not 365 days away, November 5, 2026.

Victims of his alleged violent rhetorics may just get justice at last after all these years of being violently murdered and their properties destroyed completely causing these his innocent victims colossal emotional/economic losses and monumental family setbacks.

Bandits with Ak47's are finishing the North, middle belt and parts of the southwest and ur government is negotiating with them but Kanu is ur problem.

Even the judge knows the government has no case. Let omotosho do his worst.

amaridigital:
And you think he will appeal from DSS detention? Once he's convinced he's going straight to prison where he will appeal. Kuje prison or worse maximum prison. Terrorism and treason case no be akamu oh. Don't forget that the federal Government jailed a whole Awolowo on treason charges and he went to prison in this same Nigeria and nothing happened. Awolowo oh not to talk of a nonentity

Is it the same Awolowo that committed suicide by ingesting rat poison?

My friend the whole thing is very simple. There is no legality in illegality. You can not stand on illegality and you claim you want to prosecut somebody.Even a first year law student knows this, I mean this is a matter in court not in the bush is not for everybody to be putting mouth

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

What is the difference between ekpa and kanu offences?

@ Helinues if ur SW president and his judge fail to do thr worst then they are coward. The SE is watching for them to do thr worst. Hence Kanu should even stop going to the court. What are they making noise of open defence. They should just find him guilty on no existant law now and pronounce the punishment

So why do think was the reason his legal team filled a no case submission after the prosecution adopted their final address. Dont think MNK is representing himself[ without their input.
The defence team already saw through their facade. Let the Federal Govt give that verdict that they has already intended to for a long time...quote author=Tareq1105 post=137356152]

My advice for kanu is to call back his legal team to help open his defense if he has any defense..

He can't defend himself before a judge.[/quote]

Anither563:
He has a right to be his own lawyer but he should also understand that the law is not a respecter of person but of process.

Is it not the same process he is asking the court to respect?

Ask.yourself and then simply tell us simcenyou already have the answers tomyour question.

Epka was arrest this year or thereabout if I not mistaken, being tried with judgment already passed all in less than a calender year, but in your own country, this man has been arrested but has not been tried neither has.judgment been passed on him, why os niheria govt causing unnecessary tension by detaining him without any judgment for almost 5yrs now?

Isn't that a state of particular concern amd shame Common lets be real!

If the guy is guilty let him gave the law.

Imagine if Epka's case was being handled in 9ja this is the same way they would have handled it.

The corruption in the judicial system is the major problem bedeviling this country many of you dont know.

Until that is been address Nigeria will never get it right.

Oga Una too talk too much, simple question, wot is the difference between ekpa and kanu offences? Or kanu didn't commit any offense?

Miramonica:
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!

I want to ask you a simple question: since this case started for some years Kanu has been using lawyers. Now that the case is close to conclusion why did he suddenly decide to represent himself? The same man that mentioned the names of the high and mighty as his witnesses suddenly don't want to enter his defence. Kanu knows that the evidence against him will send him to jail. He wants to play to the gallery but he will end up jailed.

Lagos gutter press at it again! twisting events to suit their evil plans.........Nigeria is a disgrace to humanity! Nigeria has a payday with nemesis! Her fall will be resounding!

Lol.. let him remain in jail. Tinubu will finish his 8 years and handover his file to any hausa- fulani man to continue.

I blv it was also 'yoruba judge' that sentenced his boy in finland.

All these una cheap blackmail/gaslighting nor dey work again o.
Try another line biko.

chiagozien:
The Yoruba judge think he can threaten Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, just to run read scripts already given to him by Federal government.



Modified

Probably those ones had told him he stood little chance of going scotfree, and in his characteristic gragra nature, he wanted to bulldoze his way thru.

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

The criminal in Finland is boy of your APC zoo government.


Don't compare him to a freedom fighter.
