The judge doesn't owe a defendant or prosecutor any guidance in court.

That is why there are lawyers and if you don't have the fund to employ a lawyer. There are state funded lawyers that can render the service to you, at little or no cost, but if you insist on representing yourself in court before the judge, whatever mistakes you make is your doing and can be used against you in court by the judge, especially where the prosecutor or opposing legal council insists on the technicality of the case as it progresses.

Nnamdi Kanu is in a mess and he is digging in on the mess.

Have you ever been in court as an accused before? Have you been tried in court before or been a cross examined witness to a case in court?
I assume you don't know by this stage of the trial, the case has moved far beyond technicalities. The prosecution has presented its witnesses, completed cross-examinations and formally closed its case. Nnamdi Kanu has consistently appeared in court, following the proceedings closely, making observations and taking notes. At this point, the only business before the court is for the defence to open its case or make a no-case submission.

Any attempt to raise new objections or procedural technicalities would be deemed an abuse of court process and will not be entertained.
From my observation, Kanu appears confident and seems to be positioning himself to personally claim credit for what may already look like a favourable outcome.

I don't see the relevance of your question if I've been a witness in court before to this discussion

Kanu is only using delay tactics. I wonder who is advising the man

If his 90 days request was granted, he will still seek another extension even before the expiration of the 90 days.

He is aware that he can't win this case, he is beginning to feels it is better for him to remain in detention than to face judgement while gaslighting his gullible followers to keep pressing for his unconditional release
.

But the truth is, he won't remain in detention forever.

The SE leaders should have a round table talk with balablu and get him released. Election is around the corner, they can even use the SE votes as a bargaining tools.
You can accuse the president of anything but you can't deny the fact that he is a listening leader.

Baba will oblige and grant him presidential pardon.

But unfortunately, kanu has used his radio biafra to insult and rubbish those who are in the best position to get him out of detention.
No, that’s not permitted in any court. Once a defendant concludes and closes their defence and files their final written address, the next stage is judgment. The court will not grant another opportunity for further submissions after the case has been closed.

I wonder how you already know he won't win the case, are you by any chance the judge handling the case?

This is a serious case against Nnamdi Kanu. The sentence could be severe so he needs learned council and experienced lawyers to represent him.

Being intelligent, as you describe Nnamdi Kanu, is completely different from the understanding and practice of law.

What does Kanu know about criminal laws?
Like I said before, you don't need to be a lawyer to understand the law, including criminal law. The constitution is written in formal legal English language and every word is carefully chosen to avoid ambiguity. So, I don't see any reason why a man who fully understands that his self representation carries serious consequences will want to jeopardize his chances. On procedure, I agree he will make mistakes because he's not a trained legal person, typically the judge will provide guidance in that direction to ensure fair hearing.

It will be a major disaster for Nnamdi Kanu to attempt to defend himself without legal counsel. It is a stupid move that can be devastating for him.
How?
We really need to abandon this mindset that only lawyers should be knowledgeable about legal matters. Kanu is a remarkably intelligent man with a deep understanding of the Constitution. I’ve heard him quote relevant sections and reference decided cases with confidence. While he may not always get the procedures right, judges generally ensure that self-represented defendants understand the charges, follow the process in simple terms and are not disadvantaged by their lack of legal training.

Defendants like him, who choose to appear pro se, deserve commendation for their courage. In my view, every Nigerian should acquaint themselves with the Constitution, it’s the only path to true civic awareness and sustainable national development.

The suffering in Nigeria since Tinubu became president is alarming.

The other day, I met a visibly broken fuel attendant who opened up about his fears.
He said he’s among the next group of workers to be laid off as fuel sales have hit rock bottom. “People no longer buy fuel like before,” he lamented, he said most car owners have abandoned their vehicles. With a mix of anger and pain, he swore he’d confront anyone who comes campaigning for Tinubu in 2027.

Hate to be the guy

The sharia law enshrined in the 12 northern states was an expansion of sharia courts into criminal cases,as defined by Islamic law ( hence the two women who were sentenced to be stoned to death because adultery is a crime under sharia).

This one na civil case or civil sharia which has been on the books for a long time, before 1999. Used to form part of the northern regional penal code since colonial times. Abuja falls under the old northern region

I suspect the man's tenant is a Muslim.The palava is the court not checking who owned the shop. Big mistake

There won't be change in the laws.Both sides find this as a useful bugbear
What are you saying man?
A Christian, or any non-Muslim cannot be compelled to appear before a Sharia Court or have his property or rights adjudicated under Islamic law. Our constitution is very clear on this, it's only for Muslims who have consented to the jurisdiction of the Sharia Court.
Abuja ideally shouldn't have a Sharia Court from the moment it became the capital of Nigeria.

A shocking video circulating online via Arise TV shows a Christian man in Abuja weeping over the loss of his building, claiming it was sealed and sold off by the Sharia Appeal Court Gudu in Abuja despite him having a title deed, not a Muslim and shouldn't have anything to do with a Sharia Court.

Arise TV anchors condemned the act, blaming Tinubu’s Muslim-Muslim ticket for emboldening muslim Sharia Court overreach in the nation’s capital. They argued that a Muslim Sharia Court has no place in the Federal capital territory, Abuja since Nigeria is a secular state.

PoliticsRe: List Of Witnesses Nnamdi Kanu Wants To Call In His ‘treason’ Trial by shortgun(m):
That's very strategic move from Kanu. I can already foresee how things will unfold once Buratai takes the witness stand as Nnamdi Kanu cross examines him.

Kanu: Did you order the military to invade my house in Umuahia, killing my father and 25 other innocent people?

Buratai: No, I did not.

Kanu: Then who gave the order and were those men under your command?

Buratai: The people who might have invaded your house were not officers or soldiers of the Nigerian Army under my command.


Kanu: My Lord, the witness has just confirmed before this Honourable Court that there were active armed men operating in the Southeast during his tenure as Chief of Army Staff who were not under his command and these men cannot be linked to IPOB since it would make no sense for IPOB to attack the home of its own leader and kill his father along with 25 others. My Lord this revelation undermines the prosecution’s claim that IPOB was behind every act of violence at the time, it weakens the prosecutions claim that IPOB carried out the attacks they claim.

I said they can only deceive unwise ones. The lawyers don't want to spoil their own reputation as SANs because they knew they can't win that case for him. The judge and DSS are smarter than Biafra lawyers teaching him the tricks to apply to prolong his case.

Today, he requested a 90-day period to enable him conclude his defence, but the court threw it away into dustbin and told him to start his defense in 24hours being tomorrow. Kanu and his lawyers will not sleep today.

His head is hot now as I am typing this message because they will be busy preparing for tomorrow. They never expected it, he thought he would be granted 90 days and after 90days, he would look for another tactics. But the well Yoruba trained judge that doesn't move with emotion is smarter to burst his bubble.


Go and borrow him the constitution he should quote tomorrow, because his head his hot now, he never expected that impromptu defense. The same lawyers that use style to run away now will be the one to resume back later when it comes to a stage they can handle for him. At moment, they are working for him at background.

When we tell you to run away from criminality, run! Stop beating empty chest! Criminality does not pay. If you are soaking garri with akara in your house with peace of mind, it is better than eating free turkey inside police detention with your freedom to go to mama Nkechi to buy Okpa or sleep beside your wife ceased. We warned him, but he didn't listen to wise counsel. He thought everybody thinks upside down like them
You are getting the whole thing wrong.
The 90 days Kanu requested was for him to conclude his defence, not to begin it. You’re mixing up two different things.
Simply put, he asked the court to let his defence period run for 90 days in total. So, he's not delaying his trial.

Yes, oh! To the unwise; KANU has represented himself that will end him in jail. It also means he is the first person that his lawyer used style to run away from because they knew he can not win the case if they defend him and it will tarnish their images. The only thing they can help him with is to keep delay and delay hoping there will be political resolution along his way or that Obi will become president and set him free.

Unfortunately, the DSS and the judge are smarter and well train to detect the tactics. This is not a Biafran judge that will be moved by emotions, that does not work with experience and well trained judge. If KANU case is simple and with hope they will win, no lawyer will use style to run away because they will claim compensation and it will boost their credentials. But they have seen the evidences, they know if they speak grammar for 2 years; that can't set him free or make them win the case.

The DSS and the judge also knew the tactics and that is why every attempt to delay the case were been thrown away to the dustbin until the lawyers can help him further not to spoil their own credentials. They must have discussed all these tactics and the truth of the matter with him.The day he suppose to open his case, he said he sacked all the lawyers, they can only deceive ipob/ESN and some obidients because their reasoning logic usually follow tunnel path to meet that of hamas
Kanu’s lawyers did not run. They withdrew in protest because the judge failed to determine the competence of the court to hear the case.

The Supreme Court has ruled severally that jurisdictional objections should be settled before hearing any case but this particular judge choose anyhowness and the lawyers left in protest

PoliticsNnamdi Kanu Makes History by shortgun(op): 7:31pm On Oct 23, 2025
Nnamdi Kanu has made history in Nigeria as the first person in history to represent himself in a federal terrorism case.

Nnamdi Kanu has already won his case, the signs are unmistakable.
I was in the future and I clearly saw Nnamdi Kanu walking free.
The Federal Government’s case collapses under the weight of its own lies and the streets of Nigeria erupt with jubilation all over.
From the East to the West, from the North to the Niger Delta. People pour out in celebration as the man they tried to silence stands tall in victory


What we are witnessing in real time is not just a trial it is the most defining legal battle in Nigeria’s modern history. Nnamdi Kanu has chosen to represent himself in court and by doing so, he has taken full control of his destiny. He now stands as both defendant and counsel... a man armed not with weapons but with the Constitution of Nigeria itself.

And make no mistake that Constitution is his sword and shield. Every motion, every objection, every line of cross-examination will be strategically precise. Kanu once declared that he would use the Constitution of Nigeria to defeat the Federal Government and that prophecy is unfolding before our very eyes. His mastery of the law is surgical his confidence is unshakable.

Under the law, representing himself means he possesses the same rights as any senior advocate


The right to cross-examine witnesses,

The right to tender evidence and exhibits,

The right to object to falsehoods

The right to address the court directly.

This is where things get historic.
For the first time, the man the government branded a “terrorist” will now stands face-to-face with the real architects of terror, those who spilled the blood of innocent people. When Nnamdi Kanu finally locks eyes with Buratai, Malami, Bichi, Hope Uzodimma, Sanwo-Olu, Umahi, Wike and the rest, the truth will be laid bare before the court.


I can already picture the moment when Kanu will rise, fix his gaze on Buratai and thunder:

“You ordered soldiers to invade my home, kill my father and massacre twenty-five innocent people. I put it to you that you are the real terrorist — a man unfit to speak of justice.”
In that one defining moment, decades of unchecked power excesses and lawlessness will crumble. Those who thought they stood above the law will now be forced to kneel before it.


For the first time in Nigeria’s judicial history, a man will have represented himself pro se without legal counsel in a terrorism case and defeated the full weight of the Federal Government in a criminal trial.
That victory will not just belong to him it will belong to every Nigerian who ever demanded justice and truth.

History is being written right before our eyes.
And when it is all over, the name Nnamdi Kanu will not just be remembered as a political prisoner, but as a man who used the very laws of Nigeria to expose its lawlessness.

Congratulations to Nnamdi Kanu the man who turned the courtroom into a battlefield of truth and won.

They took the case of jurisdiction all the way to appellate court, where Kanu was asked to go back to court to plead his case , justice Nyako recused herself what else does he want
Justice Nyako recusing herself doesn’t erase the fact that the Federal High Court must first determine if it even has the legal authority to try a man whose extradition has already been declared unlawful by a competent court.
it’s a matter of law and procedure.

what does he want you say?
He wants what the Constitution guarantees every citizen, a fair trial before a competent court.

Why will a trial judge insist on going ahead with trial without first settling the issue of the courts competence to hear the case? Is this the standard practice or is it because it's Nnamdi Kanu?

We all know the judge is avoiding the jurisdictional issue because addressing it would expose the illegality of Nnamdi Kanu’s trial and detention
