#Biafrans listen to this debate and tell me if eastern region is still
Part of the contraption called #Nigerian ?, some of the participants are facing down in this discussion, seems they are ashamed of themselves as a foreigner spoke out what most of them could not say even in a thousand years.

PUBLIC BRIEFING NOTE
Issued by: Onyedikachi Ifedi, Esq.
For: Mazi Nnamdi Kanu Global Defence Consortium
Date: 11 November 2025
JUSTICE OMOTOSHO MUST HEAR THE MOTION TO ARREST JUDGMENT BEFORE PROCEEDING: THE NON-DEROGABLE RIGHT TO FAIR HEARING AND THE RULE OF LAW
1. The Motion to Arrest Judgment Is a Lawful, Binding Judicial Process:
On 10 November 2025, the defence of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu filed a Motion to Arrest Judgment before the Federal High Court, Abuja, presided over by Hon. Justice James Omotosho.
That motion is not political theatre; it is a recognized legal procedure in Nigerian criminal jurisprudence, designed to prevent a court from delivering judgment where jurisdictional or foundational defects remain unresolved.
Although the phrase “arrest of judgment” appears in procedural legislation such as the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) 2015, its constitutional foundation rests on Section 36(1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), which guarantees every person “the right to be heard before any decision affecting his rights or obligations is made.”
To “arrest” judgment is, therefore, to compel obedience to the Constitution—to ensure that no judgment is delivered in breach of the right to fair hearing. It is a lawful, binding, and time-honoured judicial safeguard against miscarriage of justice.
2. Fair Hearing Is Non-Derogable and Universally Binding:
Fair hearing is not a privilege granted by a court; it is the oxygen of justice itself.
It cannot be suspended, diluted, or deferred—not even by judicial convenience.
In Kotoye v. CBN (1989) 1 NWLR (Pt. 98) 419 at 448, the Supreme Court held that
“Fair hearing lies not in the correctness of a decision but in the opportunity afforded to be heard before the decision is made.”
A judgment delivered while a live motion—especially one that questions jurisdiction or competence—is pending, is constitutionally void.
To ignore such a motion is to act in defiance of Section 36(1) and to deliver a verdict without legal life.
3. Why This Motion Matters Now:
Justice Omotosho has announced his intention to deliver final judgment on 20 November 2025, even though several pending motions remain unheard, including the Motion to Arrest Judgment filed on 10 November 2025.
These motions directly question the court’s jurisdiction, the subsistence of any valid charge, and the validity of the plea entered on 29 March 2025.
To proceed to judgment without determining them would be to pronounce upon nothingness—a legal absurdity.
4. Setting the Record Straight: Kanu Has Entered His Defence:
The persistent claim that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu “refused to enter defence” is false and misleading.
He entered his defence fully within the meaning of law by subjecting the prosecution’s witnesses to rigorous cross-examination, during which their credibility and the integrity of the government’s evidence were demolished on record.
Under Nigerian criminal procedure, cross-examination of prosecution witnesses forms part of the defence’s evidentiary case.
Having dismantled the prosecution’s case under cross-examination, Kanu has no obligation to call witnesses in defence of a charge that itself is a nullity.
What he has declined to do is to call witnesses to validate a non-existent charge, because the Terrorism (Prevention) (Amendment) Act 2013 under which he was purportedly tried has long been repealed and supplanted by the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act 2022.
He cannot defend himself against a mirage.
5. The Legal Consequences if the Motion Is Ignored:
If Justice Omotosho proceeds to deliver judgment without first hearing and determining the Motion to Arrest Judgment:
He will have denied the accused a constitutional right to be heard;
He will have acted without jurisdiction, as the competence of the court remains under challenge;

Mazi #NnamdiKanu's appearance in court today - 27.10.2025:
Mazi #NnamdiKanu wants the court to express on the count 7 of the Supreme court judgement but 'Injustice Omotosho kept eluding it.
It says that they are trialing #NnamdiKanu under a wrong law and asked them to change it.
On a lighter note today......
Injustice Omotosho: The defendant has to enter defence
#NnamdiKanu-Defendant: My lord, join me in praising the Lord, the Lord has done it again. Is there a chance you have read the Supereme court judgement?
Injustice Omotosho: When you enter defence, we will find a way around it.
#NnamdiKanu-Defendant: Under which law, my lord?
Prosecutor Awomolow: Eehh...my lord, the defendant is learned. He knows what he is doing. Can't you see? You can see he is learned.
Injustice Omotosho: Yes, he is. Maybe, one day, he will be a lawyer. But let him enter defence.
#NnamdiKanu-Defendant: My lord, should I go to the supreme court judgement, the validity of the criminal code 2013 and the cap C?
Injustice Omotosho: No, don't.

Attention! Attention!!
Disturbing News !
25/10/2025
Information reaching IPOB leadership this night is that one of the new DSS agents assigned to MNK attacked him in the DSS headquarters with the intention to kill Mazi Nnamdi Kanu .
The situation lead other DSS officers physically to drag their fellow officer out of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s cell as he was seen kicking Mazi Nnamdi Kanu .
It seems the DSS and those that don’t want Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to be free are planning to assassinate Mazi Nnamdi Kanu inside DSS headquarters under the pretext of having misunderstanding with a DSS officer.
The action of this DSS officer is unacceptable and made to face the consequences of his action and the DSS must make sure that nothing happens to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in their custody. Unless they’re ready for another new confrontation with IPOB worldwide .

The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPoB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has filed a fresh suit against the Federal Government, seeking permanent termination of his continued trial.
He also adduced reasons the trial should not be allowed to continue after being discharged by the Court of Appeal, describing it as a fragrant violation of the rule of law.
In the suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CR/383/2015, a copy of which was made available to Vanguard through the family, Kanu highlighted four defects of his continued trial.
“These four defects — contempt of appellate authority, failure to take judicial notice of repeal, denial of fair hearing, and reliance on forgery — are all ex facie recordi and strike at the root of jurisdiction”, the suit read.
“Each of these defects is independently fatal; cumulatively, they render the entire trial incompetent and void”, the suit added.
Kanu argued that the Federal Government remains in flagrant contempt of a subsisting appellate judgment which had in the past, discharged him.
“By the Doctrine of Appellate Finality, that order terminated the trial absolutely”, he submitted.
“Until it was set aside by the Supreme Court (after fourteen months), it remained binding in praesenti and enforceable ex debito justitiae. See Governor of Lagos State v. Ojukwu (1986) 1 NWLR (Pt.18) 621; Rossek v. ACB Ltd (1993) 8 NWLR (Pt.312) 382.
“A contemnor cannot invoke the equitable discretion of a lower court while continuing in disobedience — ex turpi causa non oritur action.”
Kanu also argued that he had been denied fair hearing, in violation of Section 36(6)(b)&(c) of the 1999 Constitution and Article 7(1)(c) of the African Charter.
ever occurred”, adding that “reliance on that fraudulent document vitiates the ruling”.
Citing Madukolu v. Nkemdilim (1962) 2 SCNLR 341, Kanu said “where any condition precedent to jurisdiction is absent, the entire proceedings are a nullity.”
He, therefore, urged the court”to declare these proceedings void and to terminate the trial forthwith in obedience to the rule of law.”

Judge Omotosho said he has written and signed the summons/subpoena for the witnesses Mazi #NnamdiKanu listed, trying to lure him to enter into defence.
Slithery!

Mazi #NnamdiKanu will appear in courr tomorrow, the 23rd of October 2025. But do not be weary, onweghi defence ọga abanye without these listed individuals.
This list is to:
1. Expose the high-level involvement - to show that powerful political and security officials were involved in his kidnap, rendition, and prosecution implying a coordinated state conspiracy or abuse of power.
2. Allow the Nigerian government to explain its action under oat the framing of his case as terrorism rather than political persecution. That is, to use your relevant law to justify the classification of this case - whether it is truly about terrorism or, IS IT A WAY TO SILENCE THE QUEST FOR A BETTER SOCIETY.
[FIRSTLY, #NNAMDIKANU HAS BEEN DISCHARGED AND ACQUITTED BUT THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT WAS DEFIANT TO THIS DECREE, THEY DEFIED THE APPEAL COURT'S RULING AND ORDER. HAVE YOU BOTHERED TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE JUGE(S) THAT MADE THIS HISTORICAL RULING AND THOSE THAT FOUGHT TO GET IT?????]
3. Strengthen his legal defense: EXTRA ORDINARY RENDITION!
Their testimony should explain how he was captured, detained, and tortured which undermines the 'legality' of whatever they may deem as a case against him.
"He who comes to equity must come with clean hands".
4. Moral and Legal Legitimacy: This case is POLITICAL, PERSONAL AND SYSTEMIC.
Mazi #NnamdiKanu is not a criminal, but a victim of the state's excesses.
Apart from the procedural leverage here, we know that compelling these high ranking officials to appear can slow proceedings. But, it will complicate the prosecution’s case, and pressure the court to scrutinize government's conduct and hold the state accountable!
Implications:
In a sane structured soceity, Jugde Omotosho would subpoena these individuals, and there will be public scrutiny, or political embarrassment if compelled to testify.
For #NnamdiKanu’s case, it will delay proceedings but also strengthen his narrative of political victimization.
For the Nigerian government, it raises the political cost of the trial (you know how much of taxpayers money you pay every single hand involved in Mazi #NnamdiKanu's case) and puts senior officials’ actions under judicial and public spotlight.
To put it succinctly, this witness list is a strategic and political maneuver meant to expand Mazi #NnamdiKanu's defense beyond legal arguments and put the Nigerian state itself “on trial.”

A Call to Resist Executive Contempt
President Tinubu’s Independence Day speech was a disgrace to the office he holds. It was unguarded, prejudicial, and contemptuous of the courts. It must be condemned without equivocation.
The defence of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB must now, as a matter of urgency, challenge this brazen executive interference before both domestic courts and international tribunals. The Nigerian judiciary, if it still cherishes its independence, must rise above executive intimidation and affirm its loyalty to the Constitution rather than to Aso Rock.
The world is watching. Nigeria is on trial. The question is whether we are still a nation governed by laws or a polity enslaved by the reckless tongue of its rulers.

PRESS BRIEF BY BARRISTER CHRISTOPHER CHIDERA, HUMAN Rights LAWYER & PUBLIC ADVOCATE ON PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU’S PREJUDICIAL UTTERANCES AGAINST IPOB AND MAZI NNAMDI KANU
Date: 2nd October 2025.
INTRODUCTION
On Nigeria’s 65th Independence Day, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, committed a most egregious violation of constitutional decorum and judicial sanctity by equating the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) with Boko Haram terrorists. This reckless declaration, made in the full glare of a national broadcast, has struck at the very heart of the rule of law, mocked the principle of fair trial, and exposed the fragile state of Nigeria’s democracy.
Tinubu’s Words: Prejudicial and Contemptuous
Tinubu’s utterance was not an innocent aside, nor a mere flourish of political rhetoric. It was a calculated branding of a people’s self-determination movement as indistinguishable from one of the most blood-soaked terror groups in West Africa. This was not only prejudicial—it was contemptuous of the courts of law presently seized of IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s cases.
The Federal High Court in Abuja, before Justice James Omotosho, is presently presiding over Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s trial.
The Supreme Court of Nigeria is actively considering IPOB’s appeal against its proscription.
For the President to denounce IPOB alongside Boko Haram while these matters are sub judice is nothing less than a crude attempt to predetermine judicial outcomes from Aso Rock.
An Executive Assault on the Right to Fair Trial
Section 36(1) of the Nigerian Constitution guarantees every citizen the right to a fair hearing before an impartial tribunal. Tinubu’s utterances are a dagger thrust at this guarantee. By his words, the Head of State has cast the Defendant and his movement into the pit of public opprobrium before their judges have spoken.
Let it be emphasised: freedom of speech under Section 39 does not immunise such misconduct. The President of Nigeria is not a private citizen with a right to barroom chatter; he is the Chief Executive whose pronouncements weigh upon the judiciary like the sword of Damocles. When he speaks in condemnation of a litigant before the courts, he desecrates the temple of justice and imperils the independence of the Bench.
A Recurring Disease of the Presidency
This is not the first time. Former President Muhammadu Buhari made similar prejudicial remarks against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Then, astonishingly, Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court held that the President was merely exercising his freedom of speech. That ruling was an aberration: it subordinated the non-derogable right to fair trial to a derogable right to free expression.
Tinubu has now seized upon that per incuriam reasoning to indulge in the same executive misconduct. But history will not excuse him. The fact that Buhari sinned against the Constitution does not legitimise Tinubu’s trespass. Two wrongs cannot make a right; they only deepen the wound of injustice.
Why This Cannot Stand
In every serious democracy, the principle is clear: Justice must not only be done, but must be seen to be done (R v. Sussex Justices, ex parte McCarthy [1924] 1 KB 256). No justice can be seen to be done where the President of the Republic has already pronounced a group guilty in the eyes of the world.
In comparative jurisprudence:
The European Court of Human Rights in Incal v. Turkey (1998) condemned executive labelling of accused persons as terrorists during pending trials as a breach of fair trial rights.
Article 7 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, binding on Nigeria, prohibits such executive interference.
Nigeria cannot claim to be a constitutional democracy while the Head of State openly traduces pending judicial proceedings with prejudicial utterances.

Nigeria's Muhammadu Buhari Returns From Sick Leave, Finds Out That Rats Have Taken Over His Office - NewsWeek, August 22, 2017 at 10:43 am
Muhammadu Buhari returned to Nigeria on Saturday after a three-month medical absence—only to find his office infested with rats.
A spokesman for the 74-year-old Nigerian president, who has been in the U.K. since May 7 receiving treatment for an undisclosed ailment, said that Buhari would be working from home while renovations were carried out at his office at Aso Rock, the Nigerian statehouse.
"Following the three-month period of disuse, rodents have caused a lot of damage to the furniture and air conditioning units," Garba Shehu told Nigerian news site ThisDay.
He explained that Buhari's home had an office annex and that the efficiency of his work would not be affected by the renovations.
Shehu also said that the maintenance company responsible for the work had been asked to speed up the process, though he declined to put a date on when Buhari would return to the office.
Newsweek contacted Shehu for confirmation and additional comment but received no reply.
Me: So, because of rats, renovation rather than cleaning was carried out in the president’s office, to the point of even removing the entrance doors that had his fingerprints? And Nigerians just took it on the chin and staggered on with their tribalism infested brains that have beclouded every sense of judgement and objectivity that may have existed in them.
Meanwhile, Garba Shehu has now admitted only days ago that all that story about rat infestation was fabricated. Read it below:
dailytrust.com/rat-infestatio…
Remember how they made some us feel for challenging that childish, retarded narrative that was so infantile it made you ashamed of even having anything to do with Nigeria. Yet, human beings believed it.
Now, if that was all made up, why did the renovation eventually take place and doors with the late actual Buhari’s fingerprints removed and replaced? Why? If it was just a mere political fabrication, the renovation wouldn’t have taken place at all. It is simply because the new guy couldn’t access the office with the fingerprints of the dead guy. They had to get him a new door programmed with his own fingerprints.
Garba should damn the consequences and complete his confessions. Nothing will happen. Life will still go on, but at least his conscience will be clear.
Nigeria = colonial playground (joke of a nation.”

This is an independent report, and I’m pleased to present it.
It describes the troubling situation in Imo State, where personnel from the Nigerian army are reportedly forcefully chasiing away residents from their villages and replacing them with Fulani terror herdsmen. This action has led to restrictions preventing our community members from returning to their homes.
This isn’t the first instance of a woman embarking on a fact-finding mission. There are gradual and systematic use of military force to pave way for an invasion of Igbo land by Fulani terror group
