Lord help us! If you hadn’t read it I would continue to engage with you. But you have read it and it is clear what the law says about ongoing prosecutions, investigations etc.

It is your right to play the ostrich and ignore what the law says. Unfortunately for you the court follows what the law says.

Death sentence awaits but luckily for him Nigeria has not executed anyone since the return to democracy.


Good night!
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If a law has been repealed, any charges filed under it are automatically invalid.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 Charges cannot stand on a repealed statute.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..

When the leader does not read, you can’t blame the followers for ignorance.


The 2013 amendment under which he was charged is an amendment to the 2011 Act. The actual law is the 2011 law, the 2013 version was an amendment to the 2011 act or in other words a different version of the 2011 law.

The 2022 law repealed the 2011act and by extension the 2013 amendment or version under which he was charged.

However in section 98 (3) of the new 2022 act, it clearly states as follows:


(3) Any proceeding, prosecution, sentence, judgment, charge or cause of action pending or existing immediately before the commencement of this Act under any of the repealed Act in respect of any right, interest, obligation or liability, may be continued or commenced, as the case may be, and any determination of a court of law, tribunal or other authorities or person may be enforced to the same extent that such proceeding, prosecution, sentence, judgment, charge, cause of action or determination might have been continued, commenced or enforced as if this Act had not been made.



Education is not a scam!

YOUR GUY IS TOAST!
grin grin You are a funny guy

The "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By that date, the Terrorism (Prevention) (Amendment) Act, 2013, under which the charge was framed had already been repealed by Section 98 of the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022, assented to on 13 May 2022 and gazetted on 16 May 2022.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.

PoliticsKatsina Football Fans Butcher Player For Equalising Goal by shortgun(op): 12:16am On Nov 09, 2025
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.

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

Yes Vietnam defeated United States and recently Afghanistan, if you couldn't finish what you started that is technically another way of throwing in the towel (surrender).
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

The same people who went and reported then president Jonathan to the US government are fighting back now that they themselves are being reported to the same US government. This means that they never really cared about the welfare of Nigerians or tackling insecurity back then but only wanted to use the situation as a weapon to kick out the former president and seize power. Trust Nigerian politicians at your own peril.

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.
