The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has filed a fresh motion before the Federal High Court in Abuja, seeking the dismissal of all charges against him and his immediate release.

According to a motion dated Thursday, October 30, 2025, and titled “Motion on Notice and Written Address in Support,” Kanu argued that there is no valid charge against him under any existing law in Nigeria.

He said the charges currently before the court are “A nullity ab initio for want of any extant legal foundation.”

The IPOB leader, who is representing himself, filed the motion under Sections 1(3), 6(6)(b), and 36(12) of the 1999 Constitution, the Evidence Act 2011, and the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act 2022.

He maintained that the prosecution relied on repealed and non-existent laws, including the Customs and Excise Management Act (CEMA), which was repealed by the Nigeria Customs Service Act 2023, and the Terrorism Prevention (Amendment) Act 2013, repealed by the TPPA 2022.

Kanu said the reliance on such repealed laws violates Section 36(12) of the Constitution, which prohibits trial for an offence not defined under an existing law. He therefore urged the court to strike out the charges in their entirety, insisting they do not constitute any offence known to the law.

Citing the Supreme Court’s decision in FRN v. Kanu (SC/CR/1361/2022), he argued that lower courts are bound to take judicial notice of repealed laws under Section 122 of the Evidence Act 2011, adding that failure to do so renders all proceedings void.

Kanu also contended that the counts against him were allegedly committed in Kenya, in violation of Section 76(1)(d)(iii) of the TPPA 2022, which requires validation by a Kenyan court before such acts can be tried in Nigeria. He said this omission nullifies the court’s extraterritorial jurisdiction and breaches Article 7(2) of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights.

He further maintained that under Sections 1(3) and 36(12) of the Constitution, any law or judicial act inconsistent with the Constitution is void. He cited previous court decisions such as Aoko v. Fagbemi (1961) 1 All NLR 400 and FRN v. Ifegwu (2003) 15 NWLR (Pt 842) 113, where convictions based on non-existent laws were nullified.

Kanu urged the court to direct the prosecution to respond to his motion strictly on points of law within three days and to deliver a ruling on or before November 4, 2025.

He stated that his application raises only constitutional and legal questions derived from existing laws and therefore does not require an affidavit.

OLAADEGBU:
According to multiple sources familiar with the development, Edun’s collapse was not due to a medical condition alone but allegedly linked to a shocking security revelation that left him terrified.

helinues:
It's illogical for the person to have remained sad for years on this forum

helinues:
Bro, what's funny about that guy's comments that make him to be always adding laughing emojis?

He will make zero sense and still be laughing about it

iwaeda:
It has favoured me and my family, welcoming you ahead to 2026. Inflation will skyrocket again, but NBS will claim it is less than 14% by October report.

chidiokay:
Receievs sense how ?? Is onyeama or whatever the only Mogul in Nigeria ..

so becos he complained under Buhari and now he praises Tinubu automatically Tinubu is the best ..really

what onyema is praising Tinubu for would have made sense if other indigeneous airlines can enroute to london as well .. then we know its the presidency at work

FIY, Before Air peace, Arik air were flying directly to Uk it ended about 8yrs ago and guess who were in power then, APC

so why should we be praising Tinubu now for something that was On before, stopped under APC watch nd is back On now

it will only make sense to praise Tinubu administration, when more indigeneous airflight can enroute to london directly thats what we have not seen before
Arik flied to london way back ko kin se tun tun, we were not born yesterday

rhames:
People will still buy as it is easier to buy an existing one and refurbish than build a new one that takes ten years

Reference:
Decrepit refinery you say after years of lies and billions of dollars spent/wasted. It is like you guys have forgotten the tales of yesterday under this very government and this very party over the last ten years.
Now who is going to hold you guys accountable.

9jaBloke:
Were operational and financial viability assessments not supposed to be conducted before appropriating and spending billions of dollars on the refineries??

Talk about always putting the cart before the horse at the expense of the masses !!!


An AI Overview on Google shows the following:

SouthSouth1914:
How many times will they repair and do TAM on them? Isn’t it obvious to you that the refineries are now a conduit pipe for monumental corruption?

Let them totally privatize them else, it will continue to generate revenue for corruption!

helinues:
Privatize those refineries to the serious foreign investors. As long as it's been managed by FG, we might no see the progress on time as there are too many saboteurs most especially the oil marketers

EDGEof2MORO:
the office still gets the blame and the praise, you seem to notice the blame more. these business men will align with who ever occupies that seat where it is a drug trafficker or a boko haram sponsor.

chidiokay:
if you lack comprehension why not re register for post jamb .... the point the Man is tryin to make is that this business mogul will roll n dine with anyone in that presidency sit so as to keep up preferential treatment they get,
From days of Obasanjo you will never see these renowned moguls oppose any president, they donate and sing praises of any president thats how they protect there investment

Dangote was with Jonathan until he inec announced Buhari won then he left .. did you see dangote talk about GEJ since the man left office

Commendation from Business mogul is not valid, have they ever say otherwise

Amaggedon:
Colleague not boss they were both elected by their respective constituents and not like akpabio employed her

EDGEof2MORO:
guy they are praising the office, not the president. Tinubu is a nobody to them without that office he occupies. That's why you find these business men aligning with the president of the day from Obasanjo to Tinubu. You can not successfully run a large scale private business without substantial political support.

pretydiva:
The earlier you come to terms with it, the better. Na everything be feminism for where una Dey. Radarada!

You fit use your coconut head break olumo 🪨,

Evercurious:
She is a scammer... No be the one VDM called out? NAFDAC DG is a scammer

pretydiva:
This woman is steadily pressing akpabio’s neck and she’s not stopping any time soon🤣🤣

CrownedPhoenix:
Very funny. The previous ones you caught, what did you do to them? Instead of prosecuting, you say they are epentant, gave them official state identity by recruiting them into the Armed Forces under guise of amnesty. A place no known criminals and killers should be admitted into.

Maybe for this one too, you can give him uniform, give him guns and access to formal military trainings on strategy and the use of weapons.

Those carefully executed plans will manifest in due course. Hopefully, Southern part of Nigeria can find common grounds to unite.

jmoore:
You go explain tire!

Babablu bulabu.

ArinzeAnthony03:
Then stop the terrorist to avoid other countries assuming.

Period

Nwaikpe:
And so?

Whats your problem with that?

Kindered:
marriage no suppose be by force, let my people go. Awon oloriburuku oloshi omo asewo will call me ipob soon.

jmoore:
Nigeria is already a divided country.

What is sharia law doing in a secular country?

You guys are deceiving yourselves.

CrownedPhoenix:
Is this an admittance of a division you know will eventually come? Only a matter of time you don't want hastened?

Iykoto86:
You lots don't deserve to have a one Nigeria. Imagin the federal government worried about the report of genocide in Nigeria. Why not fight these Islamic terror groups and eliminate them ones and for all, but no.you would rather be concerned about Biafra that is not yet achieved by the Igbo's. The Nigeria that is in existence is dying under Islamic terrorism,yet you guys are not worried.

GiftofGod77:
No it's the lack of truth that will or can lead to the breaking of the country. Let's call a spade a spade to some extent there is genocide but not by the government but by non state actors. The government only gives the non state actors the stage and opportunity by their lack of effectiveness. But not only Christians other Faith's too face genocide....

Tayorshd87:
it's easier said than done because I know some fellows will still want division in Nigeria 🤔 but before you decide if Nigeria should divide or not ehn 🤔🤔

Please state the countries that have divided without war or conflict at the long run by then I will know you love yourself or not 🚫

ikaboy:
the current govt like never before is aiding the division of this nation, no step is being taken to ameliorate the tribalism, ethnic profiling going on since its emergence

Racoon:
Nigeria has long been divided since post July 1966 counter coup. It was only amplified by the disasterous Buhari and Tinubu led-APC governments

Justiceleague1:
Oga let the breaking start already...
Thunda faya 1914 amalgamation

Brendaniel:
And who is going to fight war against those that want to leave Nigeria and why?

PepeXKermit:
Hasten? Does it mean its imminent?

Chibuzoc:
So instead of the division of the British contraption turned jungle genocide should be ignored

He portrayed Nigeria as a highly tolerant country that respected freedom of religion, warning that promoting a false narrative of intolerance can inadvertently sow division between Christians and Muslims in the country.

Irony1:
Look the improvement in Naira is not about fuel supply. The improvement is due to the fact that portfolio investors have moved their funds from the US due to slump in interest rates due to the shut down and are going to places where the interest rates are higher and where they can bet on making more gains from a depreciating dollar in those countries. The end result is that now Nigeria has so much dollars flowing in from these portfolio investors. It has nothing to do with fuel supply.
Dangote is doing something similar to psychological warfare to incite panic on those still holding on to their dollars.
Truth is if Trump decides to bully federal reserves to hike rates to push back portfolio investors, Nigeria is cooked. Note that we are also entering campaign season and we know what happens to dollars then.

ZombieDredd:
Don't worry the people holding dollars know that also.

Na the same people

1x2x3:
You lots are gullible. It's almost December when dollar rises to its highest, Dangote wants to clean the FX

Putindbutt:
Chukwu okike abiama !!

olabrad:
Why is wole Soyinka quiet now despite the fact that tinubu and Buhari's governments are worse than Jonathan's government?
