Subject: Clarification on the Role of the NMA in Declaring a Patient Fit for Trial — The Case of Mr. Nnamdi Kanu

From:
Dr. Adefolaseye Adebomi Adebayo
ENT/Head & Neck Surgeon
FWACS, FMC-ORL

To:
Prof. Bala Mohammed Audu
National President, Nigerian Medical Association (NMA)
National Secretariat, Abuja

Dear Prof. Audu,

I write to you as a concerned and committed member of our great Association, the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA). Recent reports in the national media have attributed to the NMA the declaration that Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, currently standing trial in Abuja, has been found fit to stand trial and that his illness is not life-threatening.

While it is understandable that the courts may, from time to time, request professional medical input in cases where an accused person’s fitness to stand trial is in question, I must respectfully request clarification from the National Secretariat on what constitutional or statutory basis the NMA as a corporate body performs such a function.

To the best of my knowledge, and according to the NMA Constitution and By-Laws available to members, our Association’s functions are primarily professional, ethical, and advocacy-based. Nowhere, as far as I can ascertain, is there any provision empowering the Association itself as opposed to independent medical experts or panels appointed by the court to declare a defendant fit or unfit to stand trial.

Traditionally, and in line with standard medico-legal practice, the process has always been as follows:
1.When a person’s fitness to stand trial is in question, the court appoints qualified medical experts, often forensic psychiatrists or a multidisciplinary medical board, to assess the individual’s physical and mental condition.
2.The panel reports to the court, which then makes the legal determination of fitness to stand trial.
3.The NMA, as a professional body, does not issue such declarations in its institutional capacity unless the Association is merely acting as an administrative conduit to nominate experts — in which case, it should be clearly stated that the declaration emanates from individual medical practitioners and not the NMA itself.

Given this distinction, I, along with many colleagues, seek your kind clarification on the following points:
•Under what article or section of the NMA Constitution or By-Laws does the Association have the authority to constitute or endorse a medical panel for determining a person’s fitness to stand trial?
•Was the panel that examined Mr. Nnamdi Kanu constituted as a court-appointed body through the NMA, or was it presented publicly as an NMA-declared verdict?
•If the latter, how does this align with the professional and ethical boundaries of our Association as defined by its constitution?

Sir, as you would agree, clarity on this matter is necessary not only to uphold the integrity and independence of our profession but also to ensure that the public correctly understands the role of the NMA in sensitive medico-legal proceedings.

I therefore humbly urge the National Secretariat to issue an official clarification, citing the specific constitutional or statutory framework that underpinned the Association’s involvement in this particular case.

Thank you for your kind attention and continued leadership of our Association. I trust that your office will provide the needed transparency to reassure members and the public alike.

With professional regards,

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) wishes to draw the attention of the Nigerian public, the international community, and all institutions of conscience to the watershed legal reply filed on July 14, 2025, by Chief Kanu Agabi, SAN, in defence of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. This Reply on Points of Law was issued in response to the prosecution’s feeble opposition to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s No-Case Submission. Its content is a devastating legal rebuke of the persecution that has masqueraded for too long as prosecution.

The legal argument advanced by Chief Agabi SAN and the team of Senior Advocates stands on solid constitutional and evidentiary footing. It demonstrates beyond question that the Federal Government has utterly failed to establish even a prima facie case against our leader. The prosecution’s case, led by Chief Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN, is exposed as hollow, unprovable, and offensive to the principles of criminal justice.

Let the records reflect the following:

1. 𝑼𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒅 𝑳𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒍 𝑷𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒔 𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝑵𝒐𝒘 𝑨𝒅𝒎𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝑳𝒂𝒘
The Reply shows that the prosecution failed to answer several critical arguments—such as the absence of victims, lack of forensic authentication, and hearsay nature of all witness testimonies. In law, these omissions amount to an admission. The Federal Government, by its own silence, has conceded that it has no evidence tying Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to any crime.

2. 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝑰𝒔 𝑵𝒐 𝑬𝒗𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑰𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕, 𝑶𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝑬𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝑹𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔
The only “evidence” the prosecution relies on are edited, unverified audio clips. Not a single person testified to being incited by any alleged broadcast. No forensic analyst was brought. No unedited source was presented. This is not evidence—it is propaganda. It is illegal, unconstitutional, and must be rejected.

3. 𝑰𝒎𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒈𝒆 𝑰𝒔 𝑩𝒂𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒔𝒚
Count 7 of the charge absurdly claims that Mazi Kanu imported a transmitter. But no importation documents were tendered. No date, no shipping manifest, no clearing agent, no port of entry was presented. The prosecution failed to provide anything resembling proof. It is nothing but fabricated fiction.

4. 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑾𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝑹𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒖𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒇
By asking the Defendant to explain his own alleged words, the prosecution seeks to shift the burden of proof. This is contrary to Section 36(5) of the Constitution, which guarantees the presumption of innocence. No Nigerian court should accept such lawless reasoning. The burden lies solely on the government to prove guilt, not on our leader to prove his innocence.

5. 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒈𝒆 𝑺𝒉𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝑰𝒔 𝑳𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝑫𝒆𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝑰𝒏𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕
The prosecution even attempted to change the law under which one of the charges was filed—after the trial had commenced! This is unheard of. The law is clear: the court has no jurisdiction to try a charge that is vague, contradictory, or improperly filed. All seven counts suffer from these fatal defects.

6. 𝑵𝒐 𝑽𝒊𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒔, 𝑵𝒐 𝑪𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒆, 𝑵𝒐 𝑪𝒂𝒔𝒆
Despite the gravity of the accusations, not a single victim was produced. Not one Nigerian came forward to say, "I was harmed because of Kanu’s broadcasts." The law demands proof beyond doubt. What the prosecution has offered is mere conjecture—dressed in emotion but devoid of fact.

𝑪𝑶𝑵𝑪𝑳𝑼𝑺𝑰𝑶𝑵: 𝑶𝑴𝑶𝑻𝑶𝑺𝑯𝑶 𝑴𝑼𝑺𝑻 𝑬𝑵𝑫 𝑻𝑯𝑰𝑺 𝑻𝑹𝑰𝑨𝑳 𝑶𝑭 𝑵𝑶𝑻𝑯𝑰𝑵𝑮
The case against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is no longer just weak—it is non-existent. It is held together only by political vengeance and the refusal of the Nigerian state to admit that it erred.

IPOB calls on the Honourable Justice Omotosho to discharge his sacred duty. The world is watching. The Nigerian judiciary is on trial just as much as our leader. This is the moment to rise above executive pressure and affirm what the law already makes clear:

There is no case to answer. There is nothing to defend. There must be an acquittal.

We urge the media, civil society, diplomatic missions, and all lovers of justice to study the Reply on Points of Law. History will remember where everyone stood when justice cried out to be done.

The Directorate of Legal Affairs, Research and Global Communications condemns in the strongest terms the calculated and cowardly silence of the Nigerian press in refusing to report the brilliant, fact-based and legally devastating arguments presented today in open court by Chief Kanu Agabi, SAN, in defence of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

While Agabi’s submission – anchored on the glaring lack of evidence, due process violations, and fundamental constitutional protections – laid bare the hollowness of the federal government’s case, the media instead chose to regurgitate sensational and unfounded propaganda spewed by the prosecution. This is not journalism. This is complicity in injustice.

𝑸𝑼𝑬𝑺𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵𝑺 𝑵𝑰𝑮𝑬𝑹𝑰𝑨𝑵 𝑱𝑶𝑼𝑹𝑵𝑨𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑻𝑺 𝑹𝑬𝑭𝑼𝑺𝑬 𝑻𝑶 𝑨𝑺𝑲

We ask our so-called “journalists”:

Where is the list of the over 170 security officers the FG claims were killed as a result of Mazi Kanu’s broadcasts?
Who are the families of these alleged victims? Why have they not testified in court?
Which individual has claimed, under oath, that they heard Mazi Kanu and then committed violence as a result of his broadcasts?
Who issued the unsigned, unauthenticated death certificates the DSS tried to smuggle into evidence?
Where is the forensic pathologist or investigator linking any death to IPOB or Mazi Kanu?
None exists. Not one person has testified in court that their loved one was killed due to Mazi Kanu. Not one. The entire case is a fabrication built on hearsay, anonymous security memos, and doctored DSS exhibits.

And yet the press remains mute.

𝑨𝑮𝑨𝑩𝑰 𝑺𝑷𝑶𝑲𝑬 𝑭𝑰𝑹𝑺𝑻. 𝑾𝑯𝒀 𝑫𝑰𝑫 𝒀𝑶𝑼 𝑶𝑵𝑳𝒀 𝑯𝑬𝑨𝑹 𝑨𝑾𝑶𝑴𝑶𝑳𝑶?

Chief Kanu Agabi SAN, former Attorney General of the Federation, addressed the court first today. His submission was clear, authoritative, and rooted in law and reason. He exposed the government's case for what it is: empty noise.

Why then did the media houses all pretend that only the prosecution spoke?

Why was there total silence on Agabi’s fundamental arguments that:

Self-determination is not a crime;
No Nigerian law criminalizes calling for Biafra;
Free speech, even harsh or fiery speech, is not terrorism;
No evidence links Mazi Kanu’s utterances to violence;
No lawful investigation was conducted under the Terrorism Prevention Act.
Instead, the media gave uncritical oxygen to laughable claims that because Mazi Kanu said “the world will stand still,” Nigeria must imprison him. Since when did hyperbole become terrorism? If so, when will government officials who have made similar or worse threats be charged?

𝑻𝑯𝑰𝑺 𝑰𝑺 𝑾𝑯𝒀 𝑩𝑰𝑨𝑭𝑹𝑨 𝑨𝑮𝑰𝑻𝑨𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵 𝑷𝑬𝑹𝑺𝑰𝑺𝑻𝑺

The shameless media bias in this case is not just irresponsible – it is dangerous. It proves what IPOB has long maintained: that Nigeria is a place where truth is suppressed, and injustice is not only normalised but celebrated.

This is why the people of Biafra seek to leave a system that tramples on justice, mocks due process, and deploys its media as a weapon of political warfare.

When courts become theatres of spectacle, and the press becomes a ministry of propaganda, the people will look elsewhere for justice. That is what is happening.

𝑶𝑼𝑹 𝑪𝑯𝑨𝑳𝑳𝑬𝑵𝑮𝑬 𝑻𝑶 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑴𝑬𝑫𝑰𝑨

We dare every media house in Nigeria to publish verbatim what Kanu Agabi SAN told the court today.

We challenge you to report:

That all five prosecution witnesses were DSS agents.
That none of them tendered direct evidence of violence caused by Mazi Kanu.
That the “evidence” they submitted consisted of unsigned, unauthenticated documents.
That no victim, no investigator, no family member, no forensic expert testified in support of the government’s claims.
You claim to report facts. Then do it. Publish Agabi’s submission in full.

𝑪𝑶𝑵𝑪𝑳𝑼𝑺𝑰𝑶𝑵: 𝑷𝑹𝑶𝑷𝑨𝑮𝑨𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑰𝑺 𝑵𝑶𝑻 𝑷𝑹𝑶𝑶𝑭

Let the world take note: what is happening in Abuja is not a fair trial, but a trial by media distortion and government fiction.

We remind all Nigerians and the international community: well-scripted propaganda cannot replace facts, evidence, or the rule of law. The federal government’s case against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is legally unsustainable, morally bankrupt, and politically vindictive.

Let the media do their job—or history will remember them as enablers of tyranny.

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the wider community of conscious Nigerians have always maintained an unwavering respect for the judiciary as the last hope of the common man. We understand, perhaps more than many, the critical importance of allowing courts to reach decisions grounded in law and fact, based strictly on issues canvassed in open court and supported by the record.

However, at this pivotal juncture in the political and legal persecution of our Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, it is necessary to remind the bench—particularly the Honourable Court of Justice Omotosho—that the world is watching. With the recent courageous judgment of the Kenyan High Court declaring Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s abduction and extraordinary rendition illegal under Kenyan and international law, there is now a renewed global spotlight on how this case is being conducted in Nigeria.

The elephant in the room, which the Federal Government and its legal agents desperately avoid addressing, is this: how did Mazi Nnamdi Kanu come to be before a Federal High Court in Abuja for alleged offences purportedly committed in the United Kingdom and Kenya? The fundamental doctrine of Double Criminality—enshrined in Section 76(1)(d)(iii) of the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022—strips this court of jurisdiction unless the Nigerian government can establish, through the competent court in Kenya, that the said offences are also crimes under Kenyan law. This is the legal threshold that must be crossed before Justice Omotosho can even contemplate entertaining the substance of the so-called charges.

Instead, we are confronted with a judicial absurdity, one that calls into question the integrity of Nigeria’s legal system: a man abducted at gunpoint, tortured, and smuggled into Nigeria in blatant violation of local and international law is now expected to answer to charges before a court that refuses to ask the only question that matters—by what law and process did he get here?

The attempt to lean on the Supreme Court’s controversial ruling, which remitted the matter to the High Court, is a constitutional dead end. The Nigerian public and international legal community must now ask: On what Nigerian law did those Justices base their decision that condones cross-border criminal abduction and torture? None. The truth is, no law in Nigeria supports abduction from foreign jurisdictions and forced presentation before a court without recourse to extradition or the satisfaction of the double criminality requirement.

Let us remind this nation of the case of Mohammed Dikko, kidnapped from Niger Republic and renditioned to Nigeria in violation of due process. In a ruling that still stands as a locus classicus, the Supreme Court of Nigeria held that no one should be kidnapped abroad and brought before a Nigerian court to face trial. It is astonishing that Justice Mohammed Garba Lawal, in his lead judgment, claimed no such law exists—ignoring both precedent and the black letter of Section 76 of the 2022 Terrorism Act. Are we now to conclude that the Nigerian Supreme Court no longer reads its own judgments? Or that it has abdicated its duty to uphold the Constitution and international legal norms?

The answer is clear: this trial is built on nothing but lawlessness. And as Lord Denning famously said, "You cannot put something on nothing and expect it to stand." If the Nigerian government cannot produce a Kenyan court ruling confirming that the alleged offences are indeed crimes in Kenya, then Justice Omotosho’s court has no jurisdiction and must decline to proceed further.

We are not unaware of the pressure the State may attempt to exert on this Honourable Court. But let it be said clearly and without equivocation: if this travesty of justice continues, the same international infamy that dogs the name of Justice Binta Nyako shall now stain the court of Justice Omotosho—a fate nobody desires, for we recognize Justice Omotosho as a fair and learned judge. But fairness must be rooted in courage and fidelity to the law.

The question to the Nigerian bench and bar is this: Can illegality give birth to legality? Can abduction, torture, and rendition produce a lawful trial? Can the Nigerian judiciary continue to break its own laws just to silence one man?

There is only one lawful outcome: Terminate this politically motivated trial and release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu immediately. Anything less is a miscarriage of justice, a breach of international law, and a stain on the robe of the judiciary.

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the leadership of our incarcerated prophet and liberator, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, wishes to formally acknowledge what the Nigerian state, after years of elaborate deceit, finally admitted through its perennial loudspeaker, Garba Shehu—that the man paraded as Muhammadu Buhari has indeed passed away. We only ask: which one of them exactly?

Recall that in 2017, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu—long before he was kidnapped, tortured, and illegally renditioned—declared without equivocation that Muhammadu Buhari died in 2017 in a London hospital and that what was being paraded thereafter was an imposter. That was the reason why the then APC government led by the late Abba Kyari and Abubakar Malami launched Operation Python Dance to kill Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. He called the secrecy surrounding the demise of Buhari in 2017 as a monumental fraud—a national masquerade—and was laughed at, vilified, mocked by rented saboteurs, and even called mad by supposed intellectuals who could barely pass a simple facial recognition test.

Now, precisely two years after the expiration of the second term of “Buhari”, as Mazi Nnamdi Kanu predicted, the truth has stumbled in wearing boots: Nigerians are only now being told that “Buhari is dead.” How convenient.

Let us be clear: the world owes Mazi Nnamdi Kanu an apology, not just for doubting him, but for persecuting him for telling a truth their cowardice could not stomach. A truth so potent it terrified A*o Rock more than any armed rebellion ever could.

We ask: who signed billions in his name? Who travelled abroad to negotiate arms deals and treaties? Who contested in 2019? Who was re-inaugurated in 2019 and moved around with a different ear structure and signature? Is Nigeria now ready to prosecute itself for the crime of mass deception?

Nigerians were not only lied to—they were criminally defrauded by their own government. Elections were conducted in the name of a man who, by their own admissions, was no longer alive. This is no longer a constitutional crisis. It is a national hoax of historic proportions. In saner climes, heads would roll. In Nigeria, it is business as usual. Garba Shehu has confessed. Where is the DSS?

To those who mocked Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, today is a good day to bow your heads in shame and seek forgiveness—not from us, but from the truth you tried so hard to bury. The Oracle of the Most High God whom you called a madman has been vindicated by the very system that conspired to silence him.

If you see Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, stand up. Because you are in the presence of a man whose courage to speak the truth has now become divine revelation.

Nigeria, the mask has finally slipped. What will you do now?

It has come to our attention through various news outlets, particularly a report published by Daily Post Nigeria on 5th July 2025, that the Minister of Works, Mr. Dave Umahi, has made a deeply offensive and politically misguided statement to the effect that the unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu should not be tied to political support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 elections.

Let it be stated in unequivocal terms: Dave Umahi does not speak for Ndigbo. He speaks only for himself and the selfish collection of political opportunists that have, for decades, traded the blood, dignity, and future of their own people for personal advancement and crumbs from A*o Rock.

The issue of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s continued illegal detention is not a matter for political negotiations or electoral permutations. It is a matter of justice, law, and fundamental human rights. The Court of Appeal of Nigeria, in October 2022, clearly discharged and acquitted Kanu of all charges and declared his extraordinary rendition from Kenya as unlawful. The Kenyan High Court, in a landmark judgment on 24th June 2025, affirmed that Kanu’s abduction, torture, and illegal transfer to Nigeria violated international law and the African Charter. A Federal High Court of Nigeria held same. That a Nigerian minister would still speak as though Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s fate is negotiable is not only a disgrace—it is a betrayal.

For Dave Umahi to suggest that the political support of Ndigbo in 2027 is in any way conditional on Kanu’s release reveals either an unforgivable ignorance of public sentiment in the South East or a wilful attempt to whitewash the grave injustice done to the Igbo people. Tinubu and APC will face the consequences of the lengthy detention of Kanu without trial and for ignoring court orders that mandated his release.

Let it be known:

Dave Umahi cannot convene a genuine gathering of Igbo sons and daughters without facing total rejection. If he believes otherwise, let him dare to organize a town hall in Enugu, Aba, or Onitsha and see how many people show up voluntarily.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu commands a following rooted in the deep-seated grievance of a people marginalized, violated, and silenced by a dishonest federation. To compare or reduce him to a political bargaining chip is an insult to the collective pain and resilience of Ndigbo and Biafrans all over the world. Dave Umahi and his ilk are inconsequential Abuja rent boys and they will be shocked come 2027.

The likes of Dave Umahi, who change allegiance depending on who occupies A*o Rock, are not leaders. They are errand boys. If Satan were to assume the presidency tomorrow, these men would be the first to praise him so long as it secures them a ministerial portfolio.

This moment calls for courage, not cowardice; honour, not servility. Kanu’s release is not a gift to be given in exchange for votes. It is a legal, moral, and constitutional obligation.

The sooner people like Dave Umahi realize that the Igbo nation is no longer beholden to the politics of crumbs, the better for their own fading relevance.

Ndigbo are watching. The world is watching. And history will not be kind to traitors.

IPOB PRESS RELEASE
12 JULY 2025

𝙂𝘼𝙍𝘽𝘼 𝙎𝙃𝙀𝙃𝙐’𝙎 𝙍𝙀𝙑𝙀𝙇𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉 𝘾𝙊𝙉𝙁𝙄𝙍𝙈𝙎 𝙈𝘼𝙕𝙄 𝙉𝙉𝘼𝙈𝘿𝙄 𝙆𝘼𝙉𝙐 𝙒𝘼𝙎 𝙍𝙄𝙂𝙃𝙏 𝘼𝙇𝙇 𝘼𝙇𝙊𝙉𝙂 – 𝙄𝙋𝙊𝘽

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the leadership of our incorruptible and prophetically gifted leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, notes with righteous vindication the stunning admission by Garba Shehu, former spokesman to the late President Muhammadu Buhari, that the now-infamous “villa rat invasion” story was a calculated lie to cover up Buhari’s prolonged illness and absence from governance.

Let the world take note: what Mazi Nnamdi Kanu said years ago on Radio Biafra — that Muhammadu Buhari was gravely ill and incapable of leading Nigeria, and that A*o Rock was enmeshed in a web of lies and deception — has now been confirmed by one of the principal architects of that deception himself. The same Garba Shehu who accused our leader of “fake news” and “hate speech” has now confessed, with no shame, that they orchestrated a national charade to fool over 200 million people. What greater treason can be committed than lying to an entire nation about the health and whereabouts of its so-called president?

This disgraceful confirmation vindicates everything Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has ever said about the fraudulent and deceptive nature of the Nigerian state. He told the truth and was persecuted for it. He warned Nigerians that their president was missing in action, that shadowy forces had hijacked the machinery of government, and that the people were being ruled by deception. Instead of investigating the truth, the Nigerian media and political elite mocked him. They ridiculed his divine insight. They arrested him. They tortured him. They abducted and renditioned him. But they could not bury the truth.

Garba Shehu’s cowardly confession is not an act of courage — it is a delayed admission born of guilt and irrelevance. Where was this honesty when the Nigerian people needed it? Where was this "truth" when IPOB and our leader were being vilified, jailed, and labeled terrorists for speaking it? If this level of deliberate misinformation had happened in any sane society, those responsible would be in jail for subverting the constitution, undermining national security, and deceiving the electorate. But Nigeria rewards mediocrity, protects liars, and punishes truth-tellers.

Let it be clearly stated once again: Mazi Nnamdi Kanu does not lie. He does not speculate. He speaks only divine truth, and every word he has ever uttered is manifesting before your eyes. From the exposure of Buhari’s health fraud, to the Fulani expansionist agenda, to the illegality of his abduction and extraordinary rendition — time continues to prove Mazi Nnamdi Kanu right.

Those who still doubt the divine calling of our leader should watch as every falsehood told against him crumbles one after the other. The truth is like the rising sun — it cannot be suppressed. Today Garba Shehu has confessed. Tomorrow others will follow. A*o Rock is a house built on lies, and the foundation is shaking.

To the Nigerian people, we say: your hatred for truth, your addiction to lies, and your blind loyalty to your oppressors are the reasons you remain enslaved. IPOB is not your enemy — your enemy is your wilful ignorance and the corrupt system you defend.

To the international community, we urge you to stop enabling tyranny in Nigeria. You now have confirmation from the mouth of the regime's own spokesperson that the Nigerian people were lied to on a grand scale. If this does not concern you, then you are complicit.

In the words of our leader: “we are without fear before our enemies" and "in the end, we always win.”
