Nnamdi Kanu is destined to die in prison. grin

Ouch. That's kinda harsh.

APCHaram:
You go to court to seek justice or clear your name.

In the event that you do not trust the courts jurisdiction and ability to deliver a fair ruling you can refuse to stand in for trial.

This is similar situation where an accused can opt to give testimony. In the US it is called claiming the 5th Amendment.


That was concise and everything I needed to know. Dalu O!

“If any of the parties has no confidence in the court, he has the right to say so”, Mr. Mohammed ruled.

Here is a better summary of the court proceedings

There was drama at a Federal High Court today, December 23 when Nnamdi Kanu, the director of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) made an objection in court.

On calling the case, the court clerk had asked the accused person, Kanu alongside three others if they understand English, a procedure normally done before hearings.

But instead of answering the clerk’s question, Kanu began by saying he has an objection to make. His counsel, Vincent Obetta in his advice urged his client to wait for the case to be fully mentioned before any further objection.

After the clerk was done with calling of the case and the accused person, the judge, A. R. Mohammed said: “It will be good to appreciate and take into consideration the objection raised by the defendant.”

At the judge’s permission, Nnamdi Kanu went further with his objection.

He said: “Thank you very much my lordship, but my objection is that I will not receive a fair trial before this court. The information I got is that I will not receive a fair trial before this court.

“I will not sacrifice the due process of law because of speedy court process over the principle of natural process on the altar of speedy release. In other words, I would rather remain in detention than subject myself to a trial that I know amounts to perversion of justice.


“Your lordship, previous court rulings have been given by courts of competent jurisdiction in this country, Nigeria which were not carried out by the DSS.”

The prosecuting counsel, Mohammed Diri having heard the objections of the defendant said: “First he objects trial by your lordship because he believes he is not going to get fair trail, two he said, the trial before your lordship will amount to perversion of justice.”

“He said the rule of the law is clear and that the defendant may object to his trial at any time.

“Your lordship before the defendant can object to his trial, he has to file an application objecting his trial before this court.”

He said in that application the defendant is expected to exhibit special evidences why he should not be tried by a particular court.

Diri said that this will enable the court and the prosecutors to properly reply to the defendant.

“And this has not been done in this case,” he added.

Quoting section 396 sub section of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, Diri said an objection trial may be raised by the defendant only after the plea of the defendant is taken but not before.

Diri said: My lordship, what the defendant just did is putting the cart before the court.”

He further urged the court to overrule the objection of the first defendant and order that the charges filed by the prosecution before the court be read to the three defendants for the purpose of taking their plea.

In his reply, the defending counsel said the argument by Diri is only an effort to puncture his client’s objection, adding that he is in tandem with the objection made by Kanu.

“We believe that whatever comes out of this court should be justice for the three parties – the state, the court and the accused persons,” Obetta said.

But in his ruling, Mohammed said he sees nothing wrong in the defendant who he defined as someone who is learned and understands the legalities of his objection.

He said the first defendant is not objecting the validity of the charges against him but on the confidence he has in the court, adding that there is nothing wrong with the defendant’s objection which is in order.

The judge stated that he was standing down from the case as Kanu had the right to reject the trial, saying “after all justice is rooted on confidence. If any of the parties has no confidence in the court, he has the right to say so.”

He noted that the prosecution would have done the same thing if they were in Kanu’s shoes.

Mohammed therefore said: “I therefore remit this case file to the chief judge of this court to take necessary action.”

tomorrow it will be people like you that will complain about youth marginalisation .

Obasanjo was 39 when he became head of state. Your Buhari was 41 and Gowon was just 29.

What Kanu has achieved no coward dead, alive or yet to be born from your lineage can ever achieve it.

Keep dancing shoki for your corrupt politicians who throw peanuts for your compensation

You are irrelevant in Greater schemes. You were born in Nigerian and has no choice to be a Nigerian in the midst of all the injustice.

Well there are a generation of young men willing to redefine their identity and futures.

You got screwed on the genetic national lottery? If you were born in Somalia I wonder if you will be so proud to be a Somalian?
