Nnamdi Kanu And His Trials By Ordeal

It’s not acceptable, even by the lowest standards of fairness, that it took the Court of Appeal only two weeks to undo a sound judgment that discharged Nnamdi Kanu from his long and tortuous seven years of ordeal with the criminal justice system in Nigeria.

Recall that Kanu was first arrested and charged in 2015 and the judgment discharging him came in 2022.

Recall also that it is the same Court that discharged Kanu that quickly turned around to stay (or invalidate) its own judgment. In effect, the Court sat on appeal over its own judgment and took only *two weeks to reverse itself.

Does that sound proper in a judicial system that takes a year or more to decide who won an election and many more to decide regular cases?

And that it is now going to take almost a year for the Supreme Court to review what the Court of Appeal had done makes it profoundly more unfair.

Another grave injustice of the matter that cannot be overlooked is that the judgment was already admittedly and publicly disobeyed (a grave illegality) by the government before it filed the application that got the Court of Appeal to judicially stay the judgment.

So, in effect, the stay of ex*****on magically pedaled backwards to bestow judicial legality on executive illegality.

Additionally, it will be recalled that - on 26th October 2022 - the Federal High Court had also declared Nnamdi Kanu’s extraordinary rendition and subsequent (plus continued) detention in Abuja as flagrant violations of the Constitution.

Kanu shocked over defamatory publication made against his legal team, demands retraction

March 14, 2023 | EASTERN PILOT

Barr Ifeanyi Ejiofor, lead lawyer of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu gave an update in his official page after their visit to the detained leader of IPOB which was led by Kanu’s erudite lead counsel, Prof Mike Ozekhome SAN.

Ejiofor said he has been directed by his client, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, to immediately correct the false and baseless piece of lies and to demand for the retraction of the defamatory, misleading publication making waves online which was written by faceless agent provocateur by the fictitious name Adeyemi Adegoke.
