@AloyEjimakor @maximilian_oz Well explained. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Update on MAZI NNAMDI KANU’s Appeal: As already known, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s Notice (and Grounds) of Appeal was filed in February 2026. This is the first and most important step that activated the appeal. Below, therefore, is the simplified sequence of what happens next until the appeal is fully heard and decided: . Compilation and Transmission of the Record of Appeal: The Registrar of the trial court (Federal High Court, Abuja) must compile the complete “Record of Appeal”. This includes the charge sheet, all court proceedings, exhibits, rulings, the judgment and the sentence.
 . Parties (MNK’s lawyers and the prosecution) are usually invited to “settle” the Record (agree on what documents go in). For “terrorism-related” cases, the Practice Direction fast-tracks this. So, the Registrar has a short window to finalise and transmit the Record to the Court of Appeal Registry. This has been done. . Next is filing of Briefs of Argument (once the Record is received), whereby Appellant’s Brief (MNK’s side) must file the Brief (usually voluminous - tens of pages) within 45 days of receiving the Record. This is the written argument setting out the legal arguments on the 22 grounds of appeal and why the conviction should be quashed. . Upon filing and receipt of MNK’s Brief, the Respondent (the Federal Government) must then file its own Respondent’s Brief within 30 days after being served with MNK’s Brief; and if necessary, MNK’s lawyers may file a short Reply Brief within 14 days (if the prosecution raised new points worth a response). 
. Briefs are thus the main documents the Court of Appeal will read; oral argument at the hearing only clarifies them. . Once all Briefs are filed, the Court of Appeal Registry lists the matter for hearing. A date is fixed and parties are notified. At the hearing, lawyers for both sides shall present oral arguments. The three-man panel of Justices of Court of Appeal (not the whole court) listens and may ask questions and take notes. For “terrorism-related” appeals, the Court often gives priority to speed up the process. . To be clear, no oral testimony or evidence (such as was done in the High Court) will be allowed. 
. After the hearing, the Court reserves a date for judgment (usually for a few weeks, sometimes months but not exceeding 90 days). On the judgment day, the Court will do one of the following: * Allow the appeal (quash the conviction and sentence and discharge/acquit MNK), or * Dismiss the appeal (uphold the conviction and sentence), or * Order a retrial (which returns MNK to un-convicted status and gives him another shot). 
. The judgment is delivered in open court and becomes the final decision of the Court of Appeal unless there is a further appeal to the Supreme Court. Key points to note: • The entire process (from Record to judgment) normally takes several months, but “terrorism-related” cases under the Practice Directions are expected to move faster. • Interim applications can be brought at any time (e.g., bail pending appeal, amendment of grounds, or accelerated hearing). . It is noteworthy that the appeal is already “live” – the filing of the Notice in February 2026 started the clock. The next visible milestone is the transmission of the Record of Appeal (which has been done), followed by the exchange of Briefs, which is in process. • People should therefore focus on these clear, sequential stages rather than daily rumors or believing that the appeal process will follow the same pattern and procedure seen in the High Court before Justice Omotosho. . This is the standard, transparent roadmap laid down by Nigerian law, and MNK’s appeal cannot be any different. So, the appeal is progressing exactly as the rules require – one procedural step at a time.

REFINED SUMMARY OF WHAT EACH LAWYER DID: This represents a structured comparison of legal outcomes obtained on behalf of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB across multiple jurisdictions and forums. 🔹 Key Findings Barr. Aloy Ejimakor has recorded the highest number of favourable outcomes across forums, including domestic courts, the African human rights system, and United Nations mechanisms. He is also associated with the largest cumulative damages awards (₦9.5 billion) arising from Nigerian court judgments. These outcomes span State High Court, Federal High Court, and international advocacy platforms, reflecting both litigation and transnational legal engagement. (TOTAL VICTORIES 6) Barr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor secured interim relief in the form of bail (2017) on health grounds. (TOTAL VICTORIES 1) This remains a procedural victory, not a final determination on the merits. Mike Ozekhome SAN obtained a landmark appellate judgment at the Court of Appeal (13 October 2022), resulting in a discharge of the charges at that stage. (TOTAL NO. OF VICTORIES 1) The decision, however, was subsequently disturbed on further appeal, affecting its finality but not its legal significance. The early legal team, including Vincent Obetta, secured initial bail and release orders in 2015, though these were not implemented by the authorities, limiting their practical effect. Prof. P. L. O. Lumumba achieved a notable constitutional judgment in Kenya (2025) declaring the Appellant’s abduction and rendition unlawful. While the damages awarded were comparatively modest (approx. ₦110–120 million), the decision carries strong doctrinal and international law significance. Bruce Fein contributed at the international level through advisory engagement culminating in the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention Opinion No. 25/2022, which declared the detention arbitrary and called for release. This constitutes a persuasive (non-binding) international finding. Critical Context A recurring feature across these outcomes is that several judicial orders and findings were not complied with by the Federal Government of Nigeria. However: Non-compliance does not invalidate the legal force of the judgments or findings; it merely affects enforcement. Accordingly, these decisions remain: Valid legal precedents (domestic courts) Persuasive international determinations (regional and UN bodies) Material evidence of rights violations across multiple jurisdictions

@AloyEjimakor @AmakaOyibo This post is wise. The less said, the better. You did well.

Thank you SATV for reporting my tweet celebrating the cerebral legal pundit @AloyEjimakor for making Ndigbo proud, by bagging multiple court and international victories during the defence of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Plans are underway to deploy the military to the South East… for what exactly?

A struggle whose recent major obsession is to malign lawyers putting in their bests from the comfort of your home and/ or attacking themselves and their dissenters in the public risks monumental fiasco. I don't wish for that but a word is enough for the wise. Please, be wise.

@AloyEjimakor @AmakaOyibo God bless you both. Tell Onyendu, Ndigbo are solidly behind him

UPDATE: Myself and Dr Emeka Offor (of AVID) have safely landed Sokoto Airport. We’re now enroute to Sokoto Correctional Centre to meet with MAZI NNAMDI KANU & spend the rest of the Easter Monday with him. Thanks to Barr Ogbonna & Mazi Ndubuisi for receiving us at the Airport.

I align myself with the agitation of Julius Malema of South Africa. Data expiration must end. One should be allowed to exhaust his data. My colleague Cosmas Okwumuo and I are considering some legal actions to take to protect the consumers.

@AloyEjimakor @AmakaOyibo This made my day. The dedication of Barrister Aloy Ejimakor and loyalty of AVID have been written in gold. God bless you all. Onyendu has men.

At Enugu Airport with Dr Chukwuemeka Offor of AVID who arrived from USA. We’re headed to Abuja, then to SOKOTO for a crucial visitation with MAZI NNAMDI KANU. So, help us God.

Nnamdi Kanu(Christian separatist leader): Life Imprisonment for alleged treason, inciting violence (basically things he said) Islamic terrorists: State Pardon/state-funded rehabilitation for raping, kidnapping, killing and continuing to kill thousands of Christians across the country. MNK will come out of this but Nigeria won’t.

@EmekaGift100 @MachuksO Mandela led ANC from prison. That’s why he became President. You are so ignorant.

MANDELA NEVER LED ANC FROM PRISON: IMPORTANT LESSONS FOR BARRISTER ALOY EJIMAKOR youtu.be/6dWzNlbG-d0

A replica of strong legal fireworks from the cerebral very learned special counsel to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu @AloyEjimakor

@Chimechewom @iTurgu_Mentat7 @AloyEjimakor Your post makes no sense at all. Didnt Mandela lead from prison?

The lawyers that came to FreeMaziNnamdikanu have finally come to tell us to accept MaziNnamdikanu leadership from Detention instead of as a freed man @AloyEjimakor also referred us to Mandela, same people that boated on how they will FreeMNK have turned?
