Awolowo never called for the death of ojukwu or anybody. In as much as you timid Ibo people loves lieing to compensate for your timidity , Awolowo at any point did not form any illegal army that was not approved by the government of the land! Awolowo did not ask anybody to burn any part of Lagos or iboland.There are many numerous videos of Kanu asking people to be killed. Asking Lagos to be burnt since his region can’t have it.
If he didn't do any of those things you mentioned. So tell us why Awolowo was convicted in 1963 by the Nigerian government and sent to prison

Imo state alone has over 7 oil producing companies operating in the state. So what are the oil companies doing in the state if the oil is not in commercial quantity as you claim.

Oil and Gas are in the south south zone, not in the south east. We’ll continue to emphatically correct LIES and MISINFORMATION. The South East is the poorest area of Nigeria despite all the shoulder carrying posture. Rich people don’t leave their homeland in large numbers to seek refuge elsewhere.
There's nothing like south south geographically.
Even after the balkanization of the Eastern region, the southeast as at today officially has 3 oil producing states. So stop being ignorant by saying there's no oil in the southeast.

Do you know that Awolowo Just like Nnamdi Kanu was also labeled a terrorist by the Nigerian government and sentenced in 1963?
If Awolowo later became your hero after serving a jail term, what makes you think Nnamdi Kanu will be different?

Repealed law or not, Nnamdi Kalu and his supporters never envisioned a day will come when he will held to account before the judges he consider lesser humans.

I don’t even know what you guys want for an outcome; Nigeria should just allow terrorist gun running secessionist who openly called people of other ethnicities unprintable names to walk free after capturing him?

He was set free by bail under well spelt out conditions which included limiting the number of people he held an assembly with. Nnamdi Kalu in contempt of court held rallies, traveled the length and breadth of the East, preached civil and armed rebellion and even operated an army of his own - things he won’t tolerate for a day as Supreme Leader.

When the government came for him, unlike Jesus who surrendered to the government, Nnamdi Kalu sent his poorly trained foot soldiers to confront the government, sacrificing their lives for his own a escape - very typical of a coward lion.

Upon his disguised escape he continued from overseas to coordinate his group, issuing death orders and canvassing funds for arming his forces, only to be recaptured in a purportedly arms exchange meeting.

You guys want he set free because Nigerian government was too weak. Suppose it was Isreal that was seeking to capture a fugitive terrorist, he will sure be bombed on sight.

Nmandi Kalu still have mouth to talk because his his life was spared.
If a man is being tried under a repealed or invalid law, then no matter how you feel about him personally, the trial becomes a miscarriage of justice. The same legal protection you’d expect for yourself must also apply to your opponent, that’s what separates a democracy from mob judgment.

In all you stated, you didn't mention anything about the army invasion of Nnamdi Kanu’s residence when he was on bail to kill his father and 24 other innocent igbo people in Umuahia

This threat won’t change anything.

Even his lawyers are not arguing that his is innocent, they’re are busy calling for a no case submission because of the so-called extraordinary rendition, a phrase now made popular by Kalu and his opportunistic supporters.

No country in the world even a fathom Biafra will tolerate an Nnamdi Kalu.

They are free to seek recuse at the ICC, until then, Nnamdi Kalu will pay for his arrogance that led him to cause the death of many.
Nnamdi Kanu lawyers are right. Do you even know legally speaking the 2013 law has been repealed.
Any prosecution relying solely on that repealed law is invalid?

Nnamdi Kanu's US Lawyer, Bruce Fein Writes Justice Omotosho, Demands Dismissal Of Charges Against IPOB Leader For Lack Of Jurisdiction

Citing the 1928 opinion of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis in Olmstead v. United States, Fein emphasized that governments undermine the rule of law when they themselves break it.


Bruce Fein, the United States counsel to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has written to Justice James Omotosho of Nigeria’s Federal High Court in Abuja, demanding the dismissal of all charges against the IPOB leader on grounds of lack of jurisdiction.

In a letter dated October 28, 2025, and titled “Dismissal of prosecution of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu for lack of jurisdiction,” Fein argued that the Nigerian government should not benefit from what he described as its own “criminality” in the process that led to Kanu’s rendition to Nigeria.

“No government should profit from its own criminality. That has been binding law from time immemorial,” Fein wrote, invoking the principle that justice is the foundation of government and civil society.


Citing the 1928 opinion of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis in Olmstead v. United States, Fein emphasized that governments undermine the rule of law when they themselves break it.

“In a government of laws, the existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our Government is the potent, omnipresent teacher.

“For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the Government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.

“To declare that, in the administration of the criminal law, the end justifies the means -- to declare that the Government may commit crimes in order to secure the conviction of a private criminal -- would bring terrible retribution,” Fein quoted from Justice Brandeis’ ruling.

Fein argued that both the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention and Nigerian courts have recognized that the Federal Government committed “multiple crimes” in bringing Kanu into Nigerian custody, including kidnapping, torture, and extraordinary rendition.

According to Fein, these constitute jus cogens crimes under international law, offenses so grave that no state can lawfully commit them, and therefore strip Nigerian courts of any jurisdiction to continue prosecuting Kanu.


He cited paragraph 107 of the UN Working Group’s July 20, 2022, opinion, which directed the Nigerian government to grant the “immediate unconditional release” of Kanu.

Fein further warned Justice Omotosho that continuing the case would implicate the court in the alleged illegalities of Kanu’s rendition.

“If you refrain from dismissing all outstanding charges against Mr. Kanu for lack of jurisdiction, you will be legally implicated in the crimes perpetrated by the Government of Nigeria in bringing Mr. Kanu before your tribunal,” he wrote.

“You will be vulnerable to prosecution before the International Criminal Court. You will have been unfaithful to your professional duty to see that justice is done.”


The Nigerian government has maintained that Kanu faces terrorism-related charges before the Federal High Court in Abuja, though his lawyers insist that his abduction and forced transfer from Kenya render the entire prosecution illegal.

The letter comes amid an ongoing standoff in Kanu’s trial before the Federal High Court in Abuja.

The IPOB leader has refused to enter his defense, insisting that the court lacks jurisdiction to try him because of his extraordinary rendition from Kenya in June 2021.

Kanu’s legal team has maintained that since his re-arrest and forcible return to Nigeria violated both domestic and international law, any subsequent proceedings amount to an abuse of court process.

His Special Nigerian counsel, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, has consistently argued that the government’s disobedience of multiple court orders, including those granting bail and directing his release, further strips the court of its moral and legal authority.

Justice Binta Nyako, who has presided over earlier phases of the trial, had ruled that Kanu must stand trial despite his objections, prompting appeals and renewed motions challenging jurisdiction.

The case was later transferred to Justice Omotosho for further proceedings.
Kanu has remained in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) in Abuja since June 2021, when he was renditioned to Nigeria from Kenya by the Nigerian authorities, an action a Kenyan court has ruled against.

His continued detention and the Nigerian government’s handling of his case have drawn widespread criticism from human rights organisations and international observers.

Fein, a former U.S. Associate Deputy Attorney General, continues to represent Kanu internationally and has repeatedly called for sanctions against Nigerian officials over alleged violations of international law.

A luxury car hire vendor has appealed to Nigerians for assistance in locating actress Regina Daniels and recovering the money she owed them.
In a viral video, the vendor recounted how Regina Daniels reportedly used their Prado SUV, along with an assigned driver for several days in Abuja before escaping to the airport and fleeing to Lagos without settling the bill.

In the video, the vendor also dropped a shocking twist — saying one of Regina’s female friend who they apprehended and handed over to police because they didn't want to take the law into their hands mysteriously escaped from police custody.
According to him, the police informed him that the lady asked to ease herself and vanished without trace.

Don't let your bigotry and ignorance lead you into a pit.

Before this case would have reached the Sharia Appeal Court, it must have been concluded in a lower Sharia court sited in any of the Sharia operating states.

As much as civil suits in Sharia courts are always between Muslims , that is to tell you that the main parties in this case are both Muslims.

Also note that in any of the Sharia courts in the north , irrespective of your religious creed , the state can decide on their own descretion , depending on the offense to arraign one before a Sharia court instead of a State High court.

If you attempt to transport liquor to any sharia state that has alcohol on their prohibition list , you won't be arraigned in their State High Court but sent to a Sharia court.

If a thief is caught be it a Muslim or christian , that thief can be sent to a Sharia court and have his or hand amputated.

If you willfully committed adultery, the Hisbah will take you to sharia court and not a state High Court.
See the nonsense you are saying. Do you even know the constitution prohibits such barbaric practices in Nigeria?

Exactly, the judgment is fair, but many use it as an excuse to criticize Islam. They'd blame any court, even a customary one. Most Nigerians would rather die than repay loans. When asking for a loan, they cry, yet when it's time to pay back, they will make you cry and beg them to return your money. I can never lend money to any Nigerian; if they ask, I might give a little as a gift, but not a loan.

As for those condemning the judgment and blaming our colonial masters for Nigeria's amalgamation, they believe division will solve their problems. But even united, Nigeria struggles with leadership and corruption issues. What makes them think splitting Nigeria into pieces would magically fix these problems?
