[BREAKING] Terrorism Charge: Nnamdi Kanu Heads To Appeal Court. by Gjrich(m): 7:14pm On May 02, 2022
[BREAKING] Terrorism charge: Nnamdi Kanu heads to Appeal Court.

The leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has dragged the Federal Government to the Court of Appeal to challenge the amended seven charges on terrorism granted by Justice Binta Nyako of a Federal High Court in Abuja.

He was challenging the decision of the court as contained in the ruling and final decision retaining counts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 15 of the amended charge, delivered on April 8, 2022.

A copy of the court processes was obtained by journalists in Abuja on Monday.

The PUNCH reported that Justice Nyako had struck out eight out of the 15-count treasonable felony charge filed against Kanu by the Federal Government.

While Justice Nyako struck out counts 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12,13 and 14 of the charge, she okayed Kanu’s trial on counts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 15.

The striking out of counts 6,7,9,10,11,12,13 and 14 of the charge followed an application Kanu filed to quash the entire charge against him.

Kanu had in the application he filed through his team of lawyers, Mike Ozekhome (SAN) and Ifeanyi Ejiofor, maintained that the charge against him was legally defective.

He had argued that the court lacked the jurisdiction to try him on the strength of an incompetent charge.

Ozekhome had told the court that his client was “unlawfully, brutally and extraordinarily renditioned from Kenya without his consent”.

He had argued that since some of the allegations leveled against Kanu, were purportedly committed outside the country, the court, therefore, lacked the jurisdiction to entertain the charge.

“The charges appears to give this court a global jurisdiction over offences that were allegedly committed by the defendant, without specifying the location or date the said offences were committed”.
He argued that under the Federal High Court Act, such charge must disclose specific location where the offence was committed.

However, lawyer to the Federal Government, Shuaibu Labaran, had prayed the court to strike out Kanu’s application and order the prosecution to open its defence.

He argued that the application would touch the substance of the case that is yet to be heard.

But Kanu in the suit at the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal filed by Ozekhome and Ejiofor, said the the trial Judge erred in law by failing to “consider, make finding of facts and accordingly pronounce on issue one raised for the trial court’s determination, relating to the extraordinary rendition of the appellant, and thereby occasioned a miscarriage of justice.”

Among the reliefs being sought-after in the appellate court included, “an order of this Honourable court allowing the appeal and setting aside in its entirety, the ruling/final decision of the learned trial court, retaining counts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 15 of the amended charge.

“An order of this Honourable court upon granting relief a above, dismissing the remaining counts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 15 and, accordingly discharging the appellant on those counts.

“An order of this Honourable court terminating the entire charge and discharging the appellant.

“And for such further order or orders as the Honourable court may deem fit to make in the circumstances of this appeal.

Kanu is in serious water, I don't see him getting out of prison anytime soon.

Maybe the next president will release him with severe conditions

The Appeal Court should agree that the High Court erred, & should reinstate those charges dismissed by the Zoo Judge Justice Binta Nyako, My God Mother.

The Secessionist should face 27 charges.

It will be subtracted from his eventual 27 years sentence.

20 years pursuant to the Terrorism Prevention Act 2017, & 7 years suspended sentence, with immediate deportation back to the United Kingdom.

If you actually know the accusations labeled against Mandela during his time.

For your info ..... the white's control the media back then. So exactly what they tag Mandela is what the outsiders believe (except Gaddafi and few others.....may his soul Rest in peace)

Don't just juxtapose the scene that happened during mandelas time to that of kanu.

As funny as it may be....many laughed at him and cajoled him but today history is kind to him

KANU will surely be victorious...... that's for sure

Why did you not mention that the few others is The Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Knight of South Africa & Zimbabwe?

Even the commonwealth suspended Nigeria because of their stand on South Africa.

ANC forever grateful to Nigeria.

How is your epistle correlate with my submission about Mandela. Did Mandela bring any trouble to his people just because he was incarcerated?

Football actually changed the story of Mandela's struggle that's only if you know the full story of Mandela or just peripheral

That was common back then most especially when it's coming from an ideologist.

Kanu don't even have any ideology about Biafra, it's just a money making machine for him. Mandela's case wasn't like that or was it?

Mandela was a self admitted Terrorist in his young age, but it got him nothing, after spending 27! years incarcerated, he rescinded violence & embraced peace, he was released & went on to win a Noble Peace Price.
