This is an idiotic judge who reduced terrorism to "talking"

An idiotic judge who does not know that terrorism must be an action, not mere words alone

At this point the yorubas are truly scared of the incitement of the northern people.

One thing is for sure, y'all will eat from the food you feed others, sooner or later.

Kukutente23:
I'm interested in understanding how saying something or issuing threats constitutes "acts" of terrorism

Fergie.001 =Deep.Sight any lawyer in the house help with the legal definition of acts of terrorism for the sake of enlightenment

There's a probability he will get presidential pardon before 2027, to secure little loyalty from the east, against 2027 election.

Justice James Omotosho has classified the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, as an “international terrorist.”

Delivering judgement in the terrorism case filed by the Federal Government against Kanu, the judge stated that he declared Kanu an international terrorist due to his intention to “bomb the British High Commission, and to kill the then British high commissioner Catriona Laing.”

Justice Omotosho holds that Kanu extended his terrorism act to the United States of America, when he ordered that the American Embassy be brought down, in a broadcast.



“The defendant is not only a confirmed local terrorist, but I hold, without hesitation, that he is an international terrorist, flowing from his threat to attack the British High Commission and the American Embassy as well as his incitement against the British High Commissioner to Nigeria at the time Catriona Laing, a ‘known woman of peace’,” he said.

Justice Omotosho held that Kanu’s call, in a broadcast, directing graduates of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry to manufacture Molotov cocktails, amounted to an act of terrorism.

Quoting one of Kanu’s broadcasts delivered on October 21, 2020, the judge said the IPOB leader urged his followers “to go to the bush” and attack any military or police convoy they saw, adding that he described security personnel as enemies who “also bleed.”

Justice Omotosho stated, “In a broadcast of 21st October 2020, the defendant stated, and I quote, ‘Radio Baifra is now in the hands of the enemy of our freedom. I don’t know how much they paid for it, but I know that Britain spent about 4.8 billion pounds a few days ago to suppress what is happening. That is what they have done.

I told you a while back that Britain was now entitled to what is happening in the zoo, and you thought that it was a joke. They have now come with their clampdown, but they are not going to succeed. Radio Biafra belongs to us, but why is it not playing our programme right now?’

“The defendant also stated, “I am telling you people to go to the bush. Wherever you see a military convoy, you attack them. Whenever you see a police convoy, attack them. They are human beings and they also bleed. Any person with a police uniform or any army uniform is your enemy.”


According to him, such statements, especially those targeting international protected persons such as ambassadors and high commissioners, fall under offences punishable by life imprisonment.

Justice Omotosho said, “The High Commissioner is an international protected person, being the representative of the British government in Nigeria, as well as other staff of High Commission and Embassy of the United States of America, leaving the defendant to continue his terrorist activities would have led to an international incident involving Nigeria and other foreign nations, who are good partners with Nigeria.

“The question to ask again is whether bombing or attacking embassies of High Commissions constitutes an action consistent with agitation for self-determination? Again, the answer is no. All these acts go to show that the criminal tendency of the defendant, as well as show concrete proof of his terrorist acts.”

Justice Omotosho held that the prosecution had proved the counts against Kanu and consequently convicted him.

Kanu has been in the custody of the Department of State Services since June 2021, when he was rearrested abroad and brought back to Nigeria to face charges bordering on terrorism, treasonable felony and incitement.

His trial has recorded multiple adjournments, while his lawyers continue to argue that his extraordinary rendition and long detention violate both domestic and international law.

Fiscus105:
And u think guard brigades are supposed to be singing Political song in such occasions?
Did guard of brigade supposed to be neutral to all?

I guess you are even more hypocritical than the obedient/election looser you tagged.

TallNigerian:
If you think I will engage a sophomoric political jobber wannabe, you are gravely mistaken. And again, I dare say the Tinubu led government which I supported have not only lost their way in terms of security, but they are clueless and dumb as to how to retrace their steps. So also are the zombified supporters of this clueless government.

The National Judicial Institute, NJI, has denied reports that judges sang ‘On Your Mandate We Shall Stand’ for President Bola Tinubu during the 2025 Judges Conference held in Abuja on Monday.

NJI, which coordinated the judges conference, refuted the reports in a statement on Wednesday by Mr Kolade Umoru, Head, Information, Media and Public Relations. Stressing that the reports were entirely false, unfounded, and did not reflect the events that transpired at the event NJI urged the public to exercise restraint, verify information, and avoid amplifying falsehoods capable of undermining the integrity of national institutions.

Parts of the statement read, “The attention of the National Judicial Institute (NJI) has been drawn to several misleading and inaccurate reports circulating on social media suggesting that Judges in attendance at the Opening Ceremony of the 2025 All Nigeria Judges Conference sang a political chorus (“On Your Mandate We Shall Stand”) in allegiance to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“This claim is entirely false, unfounded, and does not reflect the events that transpired at the ceremony.

“For the avoidance of doubt: The National Anthem was the only song rendered collectively by all participants at both the commencement and conclusion of the Opening Ceremony.

“No Judge in attendance sang or chanted any political song at any point during the programme. “The brief rendition of the tune “On Your Mandate” was not initiated, requested, or endorsed by the Judiciary.

It was played solely by the Guards Brigade Band as part of their ceremonial protocol to usher the President to the podium for his address.

“The Judiciary had no control over the musical selections of the Brigade, which operates under military ceremonial procedures. “Out of due deference to the Office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Judges rose to their feet as the President walked to the podium.

“The Judiciary remains strictly non-partisan, deeply committed to constitutional neutrality, and wholly insulated from political activities or symbols of political allegiance.

“The 2025 All Nigeria Judges Conference is a statutory and professional gathering focused on strengthening the justice system and reinforcing public confidence in the Judiciary.

“Any attempt to distort the solemnity of the event or attribute political motives to judicial officers is unfortunate, misleading, and a disservice to the public.

“We urge members of the public and the media to exercise restraint, verify information, and avoid amplifying falsehoods capable of undermining the integrity of national institutions.

“The Judiciary will continue to uphold its oath of office with dignity, independence, and unwavering fidelity to the Constitution.”

TallNigerian:
I am beginning to realize I am a part of this problem. For supporting this callous government who has continued to live in denial rather than take action. God please forgive me

Penguin2:
The world saw what happened on camera.

We saw the terrorists shoot and take people away.

But the Kwara First Lady[b] had the audacity to tell the world that nobody was abducted, nobody was injured and nobody died.[/b]

The implication is that if they do not accept that these things are happening, then they won’t make efforts to address or stop them.

Like, how do you stop what you don’t believe is there in the first place.

For the terrorist supporters that think they are safe in their huts 🛖 in Ogbomoso and Akure, the terrorists are already in Kwara. It will be at your doorstep soon.

BouquiLake:

Bendeco02:
Go and listen to late shakeu's old speach where he mentioned nations that supports them first.

Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen are equivalent to the word terrorism. And America knows how to whip their ass well

So stop asking which war American has worn against terror groups

Bendeco02:
I asked you what's the different between Iran and terrorism. Answer the question first
