All countries have problems, and I have lived in many.

Kanu had been given a life sentence.

He is at the mercy of the stats.

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.

Jumping from one SW state to another is not different country when u claim travelled. His is ur region trophy. why has the insecurity not stopped

In English.

Like the one SW judge could not read script given to him.He could not pronounce English words together. How was he able to get to such level. My kinds in secondary school could do better. I was so shocked and surprised. He could not even quote bible verse well.It was clear it was never him that wrote that judgment

It looks u didn't have free data to watch the show of shame as it happened

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

You are a very terrible liar.

1. The judge wanted the world to see his final ruling and judgment . This is allowed. Banning live streaming when the case was going on could be subjected to different interpretations.

2. Kanu requested for more time to file his written address to the court which the judge rightly saw as another delay tactic to postpone judgement of the case. When Omotosho refused Kanu's plea for more time, kanu flared up and started insulting the judge who ordered him out of court. Note that Justice Omotosho also convicted kanu for contempt of court, which wasn't part of the charges.

3. These were all testimonies and evidence provided by the Prosecution witnesses in the form of DSS agents who took the stand and provided these testimony to the court.

4. Omotosho never threw out any evidence but rather halted the prosecution from tendering it because the defense claimed they were yet to receive and review the evidence . Justice Omotosho ordered the Prosecution to provide a copy of all evidence to the defense and slated another day by which the evidence were tables before the court. As per Gulak, the DSS relied on the confession of ESN members arrested for murdering Gulak and they confessed that they were following orders indirectly from Kanu through their commanders.

5. Kanu's broadcast led to deaths of security officers as he used his illegal station to issue orders to his ESN terrorists which they followed. Incitement is not the right word here. Radio Biafra became the Communication and command centre for Kanu to communicate and give orders directly to his foot soldiers.

Let it be known to the world that a Yoruba judge unjustly sentenced Nnamdi Kanu not based on evidence but bigotry and hatred using government power. We will never forget and we will surely return the favor.

1.
Broadcasting a final judgment is not the issue. The concern is that the judge banned live coverage throughout the proceedings, which limited transparency in a politically sensitive case. Saying it “could be subjected to different interpretations” doesn’t change the fact that the restriction reduced public visibility. Courts are supposed to lean toward openness in cases of major public interest to avoid these exact controversies.

2.
Requesting additional time to file a written address is not a delay tactic. It’s a normal part of legal practice, especially in complex cases involving multiple charges and large volumes of evidence. The judge alredy assuming bad faith is itself questionable...how did he know it was a delay tactics? Even if Kanu reacted poorly, that doesn’t retroactively make the request illegitimate...Omotosho denied Nnamdi Kanu his right.
t
The contempt ruling..something not part of the original charges only reinforces the argument that emotions ran high in the courtroom and Omotosho was not neutral!,
not necessarily that Kanu was being intentionally obstructive.

3.
Prosecution testimony from DSS agents is not the same as neutral, independently verified evidence. Security agencies are interested parties in this case and their statements must be corroborated. The fact that they “provided testimony” doesn’t automatically make those claims reliable or sufficient to establish guilt!. Many cases fall apart because prosecution testimony lacks supporting evidence.

4.
If evidence was halted because the defense had not received it, that means the prosecution failed in its obligation to disclose materials ahead of time. That’s a procedural fault on the prosecution, not the defense!
And regarding the Gulak case, “confessions” from detainees especially without independent verification are widely legally recognized as unreliable....a detained person will do anything to please the authorities for their.
Statements allegedly linking ESN members to Kanu remain allegations, not proof. A confession is not conclusive unless supported by other objective evidence, which was never produced!..this elementary in law....!

5.
The claim that Radio Biafra served as a “command centre” is an allegation that was never proven with direct evidence. Saying his broadcasts led to deaths assumes causation without demonstrating it. Incitement requires a clear, direct connection between a statement and a specific criminal action. The prosecution did not show recordings where Kanu explicitly ordered specific killings, nor did they present verifiable communications tying him to those acts. Without that, the argument remains speculative.
The constitutional requires direct, demonstrable linkage, not assumptions, not confessions from third parties and not interpretations of rhetoric. None of the points you listed successfully establish that link.

So we all know it was hatred that drove Yoruba people to convict Nnamdi Kanu and not law!

Nigeria is gone for good

ebukal67x:
Justice Omotosho did what the law required him to do.

Which law ??

Flangelo12:
If Simon Ekpa is guilty how much more would Kanu?

You people should leave sentiments and tell yourselves the truth.

Simon did way worse than Kanu...but was given 6yrs... why was Kanu given life ?? George Ruggiu that incited the genocide against the hutus in Rwanda that lead to the death of 500k hutus was given 12yrs.. why was Kanu given life , I ask

cr7lomo:
Simon did way worse than Kanu...but was given 6yrs... why was Kanu given life ??

That's your opinion.

Flangelo12:
That's your opinion.

Answer my question...same with George Ruggui of Rwanda that was given 12 yrs for inciting death of 500k humus thru same radio broadcast

Flangelo12:
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.

They had no right to try him in Nigeria...its against international laws ... why wasn't Simon ekpa extradited?? Cos he committed the " crime" in Finland and not Nigeria, even if it was against Nigeria ...it happened in Finland...just like Ekweremadu committed his offence against a Nigerian in UK...that's why he was tried in the UK and jailed ... Nigeria had no jurisdiction in the trial against Kanu... cos said offence happened in UK...u al really don't know law as mazi rightly said

The law is not blind it saw all KANU wrong doings in a big screen.

Mind you, they asked your Lord KANU to open defense for his case rather he choose to abuse the hell out of the judge 👨‍⚖️

Remember that he will only appeal base on the defense he put forward (which he never did) so no fresh fact will be admitted

Apart from being a terrorism enabler like Sheik Gunmi,you have also proven yourself to be a purveyor of falsehood,lies and propaganda. With this your legal sagacity, it is a wonder you have not taken over the defence of Nnamdi Kanu's appeal process from the charge and bail clowns Ejimakor and Maxwell and then you can point out all your observations to the court of appeal Justices'.

I really pity the future for Nnamdi Kanu because in his megalomania and messianic complex he has surrounded himself with yes men and dunderheads he can dictate to,while they feed him with the falsehood that is music to his ears.

James Omotosho is the fourth (4th) Justice to handle this case after Kanu in his usual uncouth manner has accused all of them of bias and corruption. The funny thing is that at least two of those Justice's he accused of corruption are now elevated and are now presiding in the Appellate court. The joke is on Kanu and his IPOB supporters.
Kanu has 90 days to appeal and the days have already started counting.
Gidgiddy, is free to open gazillions of propaganda threads on Nairaland.com everyday to make himself happy in his own head while Nnamdi Kanu is in the Correctional facility in the heat of the dusty,humid and scorching hot Sokoto desert. Who feels it knows it!

6 senior directors from the Ministry of Defence were kidnapped along the Kogi axis. A senior military officer, a Brigadier General, was brutally executed. 64 civilians, including women and children, were abducted in Zamfara. 25 schoolgirls were abducted in Kebbi and their Vice Principal was killed. 38 Church worshippers abducted in Kwara. 30 schoolchildren and 12 teachers were abducted from a Catholic school in Niger State. Terrorists Gunned Down 5 Police Officers in Darazo LGA, Bauchi State

All this happend in the last 10 days but the only time this one remembers insecurity is if it is connected to the South-East.

Once again the difference between me and you is that I do not tolerate terrorism or terrorists in any form or shape,either in Northern or Southern Nigeria. I abhor all terrorists and in my book ,the only good terrorist is a dead one,planted 6 feet under.
I totally support the government to eliminate all forms of terrorist activity in the Nigerian federation.
You on the other hand are an enabler of terrorism like Sheik Gunmi. You consistently engage in WHAT-ABOUT-ISM which is a fallacious form of argument by which you excuse terrorism on your side in the East by pointing at terrorism committed by other criminals in the North. Justifying criminality by your tribesmen by pointing at criminality by other tribes. It is a base and banal form of logic favoured by dunderheads and has been applied by Kanu and his wild bunch of supporters constantly.
In conclusion gidgiddy,you are free to make yourself happy by opening millions of thread celebrating gangsterism and enabling terrorism on Nairaland.com but it doesn't change the fact that Nnamdi Kanu remains in the sweltering and scorching heat of a Sokoto correctional facility. He who feels it knows it!
