Im not a Lawyer, but my little knowledge of the law tells me there are three serious grounds which Nnamdi Kanu can overturn his conviction when he files his appeal at the Appeal Court.

1. Kanu was convicted under a none existent law. Section 36(12) of the Constitution is unequivocal:

“A person shall not be convicted of a criminal offence unless that offence is defined in a written law in force at the time.”

And yet Kanu was made to plead guilty or innocent in 2024 based on the 2013 anti terrorism law that was removed in 2022. This is why Kanu kept shouting at the Judge 'show me the law!'

2. The Judge convicted Kanu based on evidence he had already thrown out. During Kanu's trial, the DSS brought video evidence where they claimed Kanu said he was IPOB's leader. Kanu's legal team objected to the video stating that law required that any statement made by Kanu while in DSS custody was invalid if his Lawyer was not present. The Judge agreed with this and threw out the evidence. So it was shocking to see the judge go back to the evidence he had thrown out, and used it to convict Kanu on at least two counts.

3. The Judge denied Kanu his final written address. This touches on fair hearing. During the trial, the Judge admitted into evidence, several broadcasts made by Kanu despite objections from Kanu's defence team. The Judge ruled that Kanu would have the chance to address the broadcasts in a final written address. So it was shocking that the same Judge would deny Kanu his chance of final written address, and when Kanu protested in court at this, the Judge ordered that Kanu be removed. When a Judge denies an accused a final address at the charges brought against him, and rushes to Judgement, fair hearing has been breached.

No law is absolute. The law can be interpreted in various ways. It is not done yet.

You don't know the law
You don't know the law
Na Sakwata you dey go so



Tell us why Kanu refused to open his defence when asked to

Stop living in delulu land, without political interference, Kanu can never win his appeal

Kanu is not in court for appeal. He is in court for a hearing.

Y'all still on this?

He should appeal his conviction first before thinking of overturning it.

The process of appealing the conviction is what he is running away from.

Weekend propaganda from IPOB headquarters.
This should be thread number infinity on this saccharine laced issue by IPOB members to make themselves happy in their own heads but it does not change the reality on ground that Nnamdi Kanu is incarcerated in a Sokoto correctional facility for life imprisonment for the crime of terrorism and that he has still not perfected his appeal process properly while the 90 days limit is running out on him fast!

First you believed Buhari was cloned.
Next you believed Obi won the election (though he won online no doubt).
Next you believed supreme court will make Obi president (what a delusion).
Next you believed NK could not be convicted because you all said he did no wrong (may the blood of those killed hang on you all).

Now in your small brain you are still thinking that someone who was suppose to get a death sentence according to proper law in regards to his crime but got life in prison can still get victory in an appeal.

Sometimes one would just wonder if some people were actually born with a brain in their head.

All the grounds are solid and should be enough for an outright dismissal of the case.

All these false hope and actions that will make presidential pardon not feasible for him

Bros don't waste your time. Kanu case is programmed already. Kanu will be convicted to cage him forever. No matter his defense team ability the case is predetermined. After his conviction to lower his ego,.then there will be carrot dangled before him in the form of amnesty/pardon. That is his only way out and thereafter he won't make a noise again.

These are weighty grounds indeed.
