casualobserver:You’re interpretation is off. If a law has been repealed, any charges filed under it are automatically invalid. Nnamdi Kanu’s case is being pursued under a law that no longer exists and Courts are required to operate within the bounds of valid laws. Charges cannot stand on a repealed statute. Given Nigeria’s history of disregarding court orders and the rule of law, it wouldn’t be surprising if the judge still proceeds with a conviction despite the glaring illegality. After all, even Awolowo was once convicted as a terrorist by the Nigerian government. So this isn’t unprecedented.. |
casualobserver: You are a funny guyThe "amended" seven-count charge filed by the Federal Government against Nnamdi Kanu on 11 November 2022 is incurably defective in law. By that date, the Terrorism (Prevention) (Amendment) Act, 2013, under which the charge was framed had already been repealed by Section 98 of the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022, assented to on 13 May 2022 and gazetted on 16 May 2022. Once a statute is repealed, it ceases to have any legal force and no fresh proceedings may validly be initiated under it. The November 2022 charge cannot be regarded as a mere amendment. The previous charge had 15 counts, while the new filing has only 7.....this is clearly showing that it replaces the original charge .In substance and in form, it introduces new offences, making it a fresh charge rather than a continuation of any pending case. The saving or transitional provisions of the 2022 Act apply only to pending proceedings, not to new ones commenced after repeal like the federal government has done. Accordingly, prosecuting Nnamdi Kanu under a repealed statute offends Section 36(12) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which forbids conviction or trial for an offence not defined or punishable under a law in force at the material time. The entire proceeding is therefore a nullity, having been predicated on a law that no longer exists. In law, a charge cannot stand upon nothing; it must collapse. |
I know say Agbadorians get thick skull that can't comprehend basic things but let me try. Why the prosecution of Nnamdi Kanu remains illegal is that count One and other charges against him are premised on the Terrorism (Prevention) (Amendment) Act, 2013, that law has since been repealed and replaced by the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022. All the charges listed here are from the 2013 Act that no longer exists Under Nigerian constitutional and criminal law, no person can be tried for an offence under a law that no longer exists. Once a statute is repealed, it ceases to have effect and any fresh proceedings based upon it are null and void. |

BREAKING: Katsina United Fans Slit Player’s Throat For Equalising Goal In NPFL Match. The violence broke out moments after Barau’s Orji Kalu scored a 69th-minute equaliser to make the game 1-1, a development that appeared to infuriate some Katsina United supporters at the stadium. Tension erupted on Saturday during a Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) encounter between Katsina United and Barau Football Club, after a Barau’s player, Nana Abraham, was attacked and left with a deep cut on his neck by enraged fans of the home team. The violence broke out moments after Barau’s Orji Kalu scored a 69th-minute equaliser to make the game 1-1, a development that appeared to infuriate some Katsina United supporters at the stadium. Barau FC, confirming the attack in a post on its official X handle, wrote: “70’ The match is temporarily halted following an attack on Barau FC player, Nana Abraham. Katsina United | 1-1 Just a minute earlier, the club had celebrated the equaliser with another post that read: “69’ Goal Orji Kalu level the scores. Katsina United | 1-1 | Barau FC.” A disturbing picture obtained by SaharaReporters shows Nana Abraham bleeding from a visible neck wound, as officials and teammates struggled to control the chaos on the pitch. The match, played in Katsina, was halted for a short time as security operatives battled to restore order. There was no immediate statement from the NPFL management or Katsina United at the time of filing this report. The attack has once again raised concerns about fan violence and poor security management in Nigerian football stadiums, with calls growing for urgent disciplinary measures against the perpetrators and the club. This is coming barely a month after SaharaReporters broke a similar report in Kano at the Sani Abacha Stadium. This happened after Shooting Stars (3SC) of Ibadan scored a dramatic 94th-minute equaliser to snatch a 1-1 draw against Kano Pillars in a Matchday 8 fixture of the Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL). SaharaReporters learned that shortly after the away team scored, furious Kano Pillars supporters stormed the pitch, physically assaulting the referee, match officials, and Shooting Stars players. This forced security operatives to fire teargas in a desperate bid to restore order. This violence made the Nigeria’s Premier Football League (NPFL) slammed heavy sanctions on Kano Pillars Football Club, including a ₦9.5million fine, deduction of 3 points and 3 goals, and an indefinite closure of the Sani Abacha Stadium. The decision, contained in a formal document titled “FORM 16: Summary Jurisdiction Notice”, dated October 13, 2025, and signed by Davidson Owumi, the NPFL’s Chief Operating Officer, found the Kano-based club guilty of multiple breaches of the league’s Frameworks and Rules. https://saharareporters.com/2025/11/08/breaking-katsina-united-fans-slit-players-throat-equalising-goal-npfl-match?s=09 |
iLoveYouToo:Deborah Samuel was stoned to death and her corpse burnt in public. There was enough public outcry then but till date nobody was ever convicted for killing her. There are many cases like hers. So believe me when I tell you nothing will happen. Nigerians are a defeated people. |
Lagos is no longer safe for women. The scary part is that these animals will be shielded from prosecution by the criminals in government ![]() |
Nothing wey Igbo no go see for this country |
He's a very patriotic Nigeria. God bless him abundantly. |
Mrfixitt:Trump is already dealing with him. |
This people really serious |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTHhVEhIBzk?feature=shared The newly elected first Muslim mayor of New York mocked President Trump while delivering his victory speech in New York City. The moment was captured on video, showing him telling President Trump that New York is a city of immigrants and that as of today, it is led by an immigrant—referring to himself. He also challenged Trump and said to get to any immigrant he will have to contend with all the immigrants

Those places are democrats stronghold |
They love to boast, “We are a sovereign nation,” all the time but their actions repeatedly contradict what sovereignty actually means. Sovereignty gives you both rights and duties; you can’t enjoy its benefits while neglecting its obligations. |
norriswood:The most powerful man in the whole world |
makaveli902:No, United States did not lose the Vietnam War. Here's what happened. The Vietnam war was not between Vietnam and the United States as many erroneously believe. It was between North Vietnam and South Vietnam. North Vietnam were backed by the Soviet Union and China and South Vietnam was supported by the United States. The reason the U.S. entered the war was to stop the spread of communism in Southeast Asia The U.S. only withdrew from the war after the Paris Peace Accords was signed in 1973. You don't expect the US to remain in that country after signing a peace accord. I don't know why some people believe Vietnam will defeat United States in a war when US can just decide to Hiroshima Vietnam and it will all end in a day |
Flangelo12:So you are one of those who believe a country like Vietnam defeated America in a war? ![]() |
Akpesku:Did I hear you say America never won any war? Have you ever heard of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Search for fat boy on Google ![]() What about world war 1 and 2? The gulf war nko? Do you know who invented hellfire missiles ![]() Baba forget, Americans are ruthless, only a foolish person will want to be on the wrong side |
Flangelo12:History has proven that those with the capacity for the most violence will always subdue others. America has proven that it has the capacity to unleash brutality on uncircumcised philistines since the days of Abraham |
Another move to spite Donald Trump. Who the hell advises this people. You don't produce even a single hellfire missile yet you want to measure dicks ![]() |
Exactly, those depending on China don't really know what America represents. America remains the most powerful nation on planet earth. China may compete economically but not militarily. |
This is why we must stand behind the Igbos, the most fearless ethnic people in Africa |
It shall not be well with Reno Omokri |
odejimioflagos:What was the explanation? |
When people expose things like this you call them unpatriotic. Like how will Nigeria become better if our institutions continue lie like this |
xliente:Exactly, very hypocritical vile beings. They can't take half of what they do others. See them crying all over the place now but I remember some of us warning them then about the monster they were creating but they didn't listen. Tinubu and his people taught Nigerians how to insult the president and disrespect his office |
A popular X influencer in Nigeria, Mr. Shaibu, has drawn the attention of U.S. President Donald Trump to the false claims made by the Nigerian military about recently rescuing kidnapped victims in Kogi State. The photos posted on the official page of the Nigerian Army have been revealed to be from several months ago, not from any recent rescue operation carried out yesterday as claimed by the army. https://x.com/engr_shaibu_/status/1985346557424587141?t=JLjU_5iRt1_3wDHWyxu-nA&s=19

That's exactly what we are going to do |
Bobloco:Don't mind him. They always hate the truth and whoever that stands for the truth. They will rather have us remain silent and allow radical Islamists wipe us all out. Never! We are not cowards like them |
