I have been following Nnamdi Kanu's trial for a long time now. I have managed to get into the court premises on two occasions, but never the court its self. Security is always something else on the days of Kanu's trial. But there are 5 things Justice Omotosho did on the day he passed judgement on Kanu which I find very strange. 1. When Omotosho took over Kanu’s case, he banned the use of any recording device in court during trial. You could only take pictures of Kanu before the judge arrived, or after he had left, but not during the trial it self. He even once ordered that Kanu's sister in-laws phone be confiscated because she forgot and wanted a selfie with Kanu. So it was a big shock that on the day he would passed judgement, not only did Omotosho allow every recording device to be used his court, he allowed all kinds of Tv stations in, and even allowed them to live stream it. Why? It almost looked like a judge who was out to teach Kanu a lesson on a national platform 2. It is customary in all High courts of the world to give the accused person a last chance to address the court, if he so wishes, before judgement is passed. Particularly if the charges carry the death sentence. This is mainly because there may have been new developments that could affect the trial. Surprisingly, when Nnamdi Kanu wanted to make his final address, Omotosho refused. This angered Kanu, led to him making outbursts, which caused Kanu being escorted out of court. Not allowing an accused to make a final address he wishes to make is a good indicator that the Judge is just in a rush to jail the defendant at all cost 3. While reading the judgement, Justice Omotosho started going into things Kanu wasn't even charged for. He started saying that Kanu threatened former British ambassador, Catriona Laing, that he threatened to blow up an American Embassy, lodged in a hotel under an assumed name. He even accused Kanu of killing Ahmed Gulak based on an autopsy report. Autopsy report can only tell you how a person died, it cant tell you who killed them. None of these things were what Kanu was charged for, or in court for, they had no bearing on the case. Why would a Judge do this? 4. Another shocking thing Omotosho did is to convict Kanu based on an evidence he had already thrown out. During Kanu's trial, the DSS tried to tender statements and video clips where they said that Kanu claimed to be leader of IPOB, and was the one that created and funded ESN. This was challenged by Kanu's legal team. Omotosho ruled that any statement or video interview obtained by DSS from Kanu while he was in their custody could not be used unless Kanu's Lawyer or chosen witness, was there at the time because it was against the law. So it was shocking to see the same Omotosho go back to the same evidence he had thrown out, and used it to convict Kanu on two counts 5. Of the seven charges brought against Kanu, 6 of them were about Radio broadcast he made, while one was about importing a Radio Transmitter wrongly labelled as 'household goods'. No where did the charges against Kanu say that he killed anyone, destroyed any property, or that his broadcast led to the killing of anyone or destruction of any property. The charges were all about what he said. However, Justice Omotosho called Kanu a terrorist, not based on anything he did, but what he said. It was shocking to hear a Judge reduce such a serious crime as terrorism to spoken words and Radio broadcast. Terrorism is always an action, it is never spoken words alone |

God bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Omotosho was not judge in Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and Nigeria government case,he was a prosecutor posing as a judge. He only read scripted judgement gave to him even before the trial started. That's why when giving judgement,he added his own accusations, instead of delivering judgment base on what was brought before him. But one thing is sure,he must reap e!vil seed he planted,he should enjoy money he made from his contract with Nigeria government. |

That's why you have APPEALS!!! |

DiarisGodoo:The incompetent court process must be independently investigated in the interest of public confidence in the judiciary |

Justice Omotosho did what the law required him to do. |
| Re: Five Strange Things Justice Omotosho Did At Nnamdi Kanu's Judgement by chiagozien(m): 9:27pm On Nov 23, 2025 |
DiarisGodoo:Appeals you know that government have already told what to say. Most of people supporting injustice and irregularities don't know they are the reason Nigeria will never get better. |
| Re: Five Strange Things Justice Omotosho Did At Nnamdi Kanu's Judgement by chiagozien(m): 9:32pm On Nov 23, 2025 |
ebukal67x:Okay the law required the judge to be prosecutor instead of being neutral? |

chiagozien:If Simon Ekpa is guilty how much more would Kanu? You people should leave sentiments and tell yourselves the truth. |

The judge did not convict Kanu based on what he said. He was convicted based on the evidence against him. The judge was right to have convicted him based on that evidence. |
| Re: Five Strange Things Justice Omotosho Did At Nnamdi Kanu's Judgement by chiagozien(m): 9:42pm On Nov 23, 2025 |
Flangelo12:Okay Simon Ekpa is guilty and was gave few years.. I known criminal that claimed responsibility of crimes was given few years by Finland court. But Mazi Nnamdi Kanu that have not committed any crime or claimed responsibility of any crime was given life sentences. Oya clap for yourself you have make sense. |

Carry your lawyer gown and wig and go to Court, let the judge dash you some yeses imprisonment for aiding abetting a terrorist |

If Finland set Simon Ekpa free will you do that for Nnamdi Kanu? You are shameless... even the North doesn't support you. Na IGBO man una wan use align with northerners abi? You are truly shallow thinkers. Tell TINUBU to FasTrack Oduduwa Republic, because if he doesn't, your region will be a desert and you will migrate to Benin Republic. Una don too zuzu. Flangelo12: |

chiagozien:Kanu did not make any plea. He was also found guilty based on the abundance of evidence upon his violation of the Nigerian Laws. Because you believe only Oyinbo can have and uphold law, you're here making mouth. Kanu is gone. |
| Re: Five Strange Things Justice Omotosho Did At Nnamdi Kanu's Judgement by osuofia2(m): 9:53pm On Nov 23, 2025 |
KANU gragra pushed him to his present fate, he thought his usual behavior will help him |
| Re: Five Strange Things Justice Omotosho Did At Nnamdi Kanu's Judgement by Flangelo12: 9:53pm On Nov 23, 2025 |
Kalashnikov49:Who cares about the North or South? We are talking about the law. Kanu contravened the Laws of Nigeria and he has been found guilty. That's why you are having sleepless nights. Tinubu would never release him. You cam take that to the bank. Do your worst. |
| Re: Five Strange Things Justice Omotosho Did At Nnamdi Kanu's Judgement by chiagozien(m): 9:55pm On Nov 23, 2025 |
Flangelo12:What plea will change the outcome when the judge is prosecutor posing as judge? Kanu is not gone, even if he's, your Nigeria problems remains and will multiply. |

An Igbo man was one of the judges, how come nobody is talking about him |

chiagozien:All countries have problems, and I have lived in many. Kanu has been given a life sentence. He is at the mercy of the state. The more he and your likes display that primitive aggression, the longer his imprisonment prevails. Nobody is begging you. I remember saying this is what would happen years ago. |
| Re: Five Strange Things Justice Omotosho Did At Nnamdi Kanu's Judgement by chiagozien(m): 10:02pm On Nov 23, 2025 |
Flangelo12:I also remember Mazi Nnamdi saying what terrorist fulanis will do to your Nigeria. |
| Re: Five Strange Things Justice Omotosho Did At Nnamdi Kanu's Judgement by Flangelo12: 10:05pm On Nov 23, 2025 |
chiagozien:And so what? Let us assume he's right. Does that make his actions legal? ![]() |

Sharaap.. noisemaker. Your fantasies of IGBO hate are expressed from behind a keyboard with empty stomach. IGBOs will start gating back...you can't start and finish at the same time. You are pathetic to think we can't bite. Na time ..and we have it and you don't Unity beggar. Flangelo12: |
| Re: Five Strange Things Justice Omotosho Did At Nnamdi Kanu's Judgement by Kalashnikov49: 10:11pm On Nov 23, 2025 |
You are a noisemaker.. Woe betide you his is killed in Sokoto. Nuff Said. Instead of you Pepu should be thanking him for not sentencing your Kanu to death with all the verifiable evidence against him, you are hear saying rubbish base on sentiment and emotion. If I were to be a judge in Kanu's case, I will first off ordered him to be beating before I make the judgment. That dudes unruly behavior added to his predicament. RUBBISH OF THE FIRST ORDER! |

Kalashnikov49:You want us to compare what we've eaten today? ![]() Have you finished? Has it released Kanu? Wait till March when he'll be begging to be transferred from Sokoto. ![]() |
| Re: Five Strange Things Justice Omotosho Did At Nnamdi Kanu's Judgement by chiagozien(m): 10:13pm On Nov 23, 2025 |
Flangelo12:Yes his actions in legal. Self determination is not a crime. But it's in Nigeria where government holds meeting with terrorists and release capture terrorists and compensate them. Target and kill unarmed innocent Protesters |

Typical Yoruba chest beating. Who gives a F, if you are Gulliver's travels? Have you seen a country where a person with microphone is more dangerous that a killer with AK47 and doing JIHADISTs dance? Your region has been exposed for all to see. I trust IGBOs, their pound of flesh will hit home thoroughly. You can't start and still finish the war. You can't rewrite history. We all witnessed it in HD. Nonsense Flangelo12: |

You will do the normal thing known about reptilians like you. Run when shyt hits the fan. This time, any uproar from your region will be squashed brutally. Shey una sabi cry Flangelo12: |
