Hes a joker!

In Federal Court, here in the United States (which Mr.Kanu wants his trial emulated after) recording devices are not allowed in the court room. No phones, no cameras, no tape recorders. Nothing! So, here, if Mr.Kanu started to rant--- even after the Judge told him to stop being unruly--- U.S Marshals would have jumped on his back and broken an arm before you can say "Jack Robinson". Have you ever seen the kind of big, burly white boys we use as Marshals out here? Mr,Kanu would not dare try that nonsense. A 6'5, 265lbs all-muscle red haired farm boy from some backwater county somewhere in Kentucky would've gladly tossed him around like a rag doll the moment he opened his mouth to utter his first words.

Furthermore,since he clearly appears to be unstable, his case would be postponed at least another 6-8 months so that a full and complete mental evaluation could be conducted on him to determine if he is fit to stand trial. . The Court would also most likely order that, for his safety, Mr.Kanu be kept in Solitary Confinement (23 hours/day) and away from General Population Inmates. He, however, would be allowed an hour a day--ALONE--- for recreation and exercise (under the supervision of prison officials). All this will be done because his utterances and actions have shown him to be a very dangerous person who is prone to violent and irrational outbursts , and who (from his past and present words) won't hesitate to carry out his vows if he felt he could get away with it.

Then, next time he was being brought to court, Mr.Kanu (if he continues being violent after the evaluation and prescribed medications) would be wheeled into court handcuffed to his chair with a mask-muffler over his mouth to dissuade him from further disrupting court proceedings. We don't waste time Judging you in absentia. We will make sure you witness your own trial and conviction so you don't come tomorrow on Appeal claiming you were denied your right to Justice.

Finally, as I understand it, the Nigerian Government is not pushing for a "secret trial" as falsely claimed by Mr.Kanu. They are requesting that the identities of the witnesses be shielded. While it is true Mr.Kanu has the right to cross examine his accusers, it is also true that he doesn't have the right to demand that their faces and identities be revealed to the public. This even so because Mr.Kanu has severally shown himself to be a very violent man with an almost fanatical following by a very enormous amount of people especially from his ethnic group. So, it would not be outlandish for the court to fear for the safety of the witnesses were Mr.Kanu to call for retribution against them; ESPECIALLY if the witness(es) is/are [a] member(s) of his own ethnic group.

For this reason, to safeguard Mr.Kanu's fundamental right to question and cross-examine his accusers the Court could accommodate his rights and "needs" , by :

A. Having an "in-camera" proceeding witnessed by both Defense and Prosecuting counsels (under the eyes of a very few select number of vetted security officers who will be there to protect all parties) where Mr.Kanu's team would be allowed to view Pictures and names or the witnesses to be called against the Defendant. The Defense would not be allowed to leave with any of this evidence . Also Mr.Kanu will not be allowed to attend this proceeding; that is what he has lawyers for.

B. If the above is out of the question, then the court can order that the courtroom be renovated in such a way that the witness boxl be shielded from the public, but viewable by the defense and prosecution. It would obviously take time to generate the needed funds for a new witness-box with screening away from the public to be constructed so for that reason it wouldnt be unreasonable for the case to be postponed another 8-10 months to accommodate Mr.Kanu's demands.

There are so many ways to skin a cat. This is a case which, out here, would not see the light of day for at least another 4-5years owing to its enormity and severity. Nnamdi Kanu should be thanking his God he's not getting the American treatment there in Nigeria. He's joking if he thinks he's going home sooner than a decade from now. And thats how its played all over the world. He's lucky he's pulling those antics in unruly Nigeria.

DonaldGenes:
Hmmmmmph! What a pity! Well, sometimes when a single individual wants to fight the government it is pretty hard to win against the State..I am sure he, KANU Namdi already knew what was at stake before embarking on this Huge Task...
On the other hand, he has every right to fight for his people but someone gotta pay the price somehow.
Question is: why would I wanna keel myself fighting for a just cause of my people just to make a NAME?
If I were him, Nnamdi, I would simply give up this fight and live my normal life....Life is too short man....

Who borrowed your brain? police that couldn't protect itself from Wike's thugs? give us a break!!

emmasege:
You still didn't get it. Nobody conquers the enemies without when he still has enemies within. You guys are all over the internet crying for Biafra secession but you have failed to tackle it intelligently. Until you make your elected politicians come on board with you, you may be fighting a lost battle. What stops you as constituents from calling back your elected National Assembly members if they cannot speak with one voice in Abuja that a referendum be conducted to determine the fate of the Igbo nation. And when your traditional rulers met recently with the president, they failed to hit the nail on the head for the deaf man of Aso Rock. Why can't they express the grievance of the common Igbo man/woman and his/her resolve to secced from Nigeria? If Yorubas are betrayals, what are Ngige, Okorocha, Ogbonaya Onu, Kachukwu, Chibuike Amaechi etc?

I'm not saying you shouldn't accuse other tribes or call them names, but please remember that when you point a finger at someone, four are pointing back at you. And mind you not every Yoruba opposes your desire for secession. As a matter of fact, most of us are of the opinion that regional system of government is the best IF THE NATION NIGERIA MUST CONTINUE TO EXIST.

Toketimt:
Wellsaid

zendy:
There is something you forgot to add. If it had been the US, Kanu wouldnt have been arrested in the first place because his right to freedom of speech and expression would have been respected. Do you know how many secessionst groups there are in America who still hoist the confederate flag as their official flag and broadcast hate messages against the American Government out of back room radio stations? Most of these confederates, white supremacist groups and white nationalist are actually even legally armed while they call for the violent destruction of Government. They dont get arrested because their rights are respected.

Kanu did the same thing and he was charged with treason.

If it had been America, Kanus case would never have gone to court because a person cannot commit treason with their mouth.

Pabaj:
Thank God for people like you that still appreciate democracy. It seems almost everyone in Nigeria is sleeping. We have some examples of minority sub regions clamoring for secession all over the world peacefully and diplomatically but will the Nigeria govt give the south east or south south a chance, the answer is a big NO. And why shouldn't you give them a chance after all you have failed them in providing good governance , moderate standard of living, infastructure , health care and so on. Sometimes I am reduced to tears if I simply think of our electrical energy production.it is a shame we turned out this way 56 years after independence.

SATOH:
Look at who is talking? All terrorist are tried in secret, so what is the big deal? What he did is a treasonable offence which is punishable by death. I really hope Buhari will execute him before he leaves office. Nonsense human being.

Toketimt:
Foolish man. There is no secret trial here. The court only confirmed that the prosecution witnesses will be given some form of protection. Even at that, him kanu and even his lawyers will see these witnesses but not the General public. The trial will still be in public for their consumption but not witnesses.
The decision of the judge is on point. The witnesses has to be protected from useless ipobian nonentities who may want to intimidate these witnesses.
Secondly, I noticed that this fool called kanu never for once called Nigeria the Zoo in the law court. This Is an excellent development. His being in jail seems to be resetting his brain to default mode. He still needs to be there for an additional 30 more yrs.
