Barrister Christopher Chidera Replies Laolu Akande: “Ignorance Is Not Analysis”

For Immediate Release – 24 October 2025

I have read the shallow comments credited to Laolu Akande on Daily Post where he claimed that “Nnamdi Kanu is not interested in trial.”
What a careless and ignorant statement! It shows how far some government-sponsored commentators will go to defend injustice they clearly don’t understand.

Kanu Has Already Been Discharged:
Let’s get one simple fact straight:
The Court of Appeal discharged and acquitted Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in October 2022. That judgment has never been vacated.
The Supreme Court never said he should remain in detention; it only said the case could be retried if the law permits.
So why is he still in DSS custody two years later? Because the government refused to obey the law.

Before anyone lectures Nnamdi Kanu about trial, they should first tell the government to obey the existing court order.
You cannot be in contempt of court and still claim to seek justice.

The Stay of Ex*****on Was an Abuse of Process:
The so-called “stay of execution” granted by Justice Tsammani, used to block Kanu’s release, was filed using civil procedure in a criminal case — a legal fraud.
Every law student knows you cannot use civil rules to cage a citizen already discharged in a criminal matter.
That stay was dead on arrival.

The Law They Are Using Is Dead:
Here is the biggest embarrassment of all:
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is being tried under the Terrorism (Prevention Amendment) Act 2013 and CEMA 2004, both repealed and expunged from staute books of Nigeria.
In simple English: the laws no longer exist.
Trying anyone under a repealed law is like arresting a man for violating a rule that has been erased from the book.
Under Section 36 of the Constitution, there can be no crime and no punishment without a valid law. In Latin its nullum crimen sine lege.

The Supreme Court Judgment Was Per Incuriam:
The December 2023 Supreme Court ruling that remitted the case ignored the repeal of the charging statute.
That makes it per incuriam — delivered in ignorance of an existing law.
Even the Supreme Court cannot breathe life into a dead statute.

The Real Issue Is Fair Hearing:
Kanu’s meetings with his lawyers are being monitored by the DSS, destroying attorney-client confidentiality.
That alone violates Section 36 of the Constitution and Article 7 of the African Charter.
Yet, instead of addressing these breaches, Justice Omotosho wants to force him through a sham trial and call it justice.
That is not a court — it’s a stage play.

To Mr Akande and His Paymasters:
Before you talk about “Kanu avoiding trial,” first learn what the law says.
He is not avoiding trial — he is rejecting illegality.
You cannot put a man on trial under a repealed law, detain him in defiance of a discharge order, and still pretend it’s due process.

Ignorance is bad enough; being paid to spread it is worse.
Nigeria deserves thinkers, not echo chambers for power.

The Truth:
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s position is simple: no one should be tried under a dead law, before a biased judge, or while the government itself is in contempt of court.
That’s not defiance — it’s principle.

Until the Federal Government obeys the Court of Appeal’s discharge order, this entire “trial” remains an illegal circus.

The British -Nigerian government and the Kenyan government are seriously on a diplomatic war over the kidnapping and extraordinary rendition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria in 2021 by the rogue British -Nigerian government under the dead Fulani terrorist commander in chief Muhammad Buhari, with the help of British government.

The Nigerian brown envelope media controlled by the Yoruba people are seriously busy sensoring and hidding the news from circulating to the public.

Summary Critique of What Happened in Court on 23 October 2025

What happened before Justice Omotosho was another proof that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not being given justice but persecution.

1. Ignoring the Appeal Court’s Discharge
The Court of Appeal already discharged and acquitted Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in October 2022.
The Supreme Court never set that discharge aside — it only said the case could be retried if the Government so wished.
It did not order his continued detention.
Therefore, keeping him locked up since then is a clear act of contempt against the appellate judgment.

In law, a party in contempt is not entitled to be heard or benefit from the court until the contempt is purged.
As stated in Hadkinson v. Hadkinson (1952) 2 All ER 567, “a person in contempt cannot be heard until he obeys the order.”
The DSS cannot disobey the Court of Appeal’s order of release and at the same time ask another court to try him.

2. Refusal to Hear Objection on Jurisdiction
In court, Kanu boldly told Justice Omotosho:

“I will not be tried under a repealed, dead law.”

He was right.
The Terrorism (Prevention Amendment) Act 2013 and CEMA 2004, under which he is being charged, were repealed by the Terrorism Prevention and Prohibition Act 2022.
A repealed law cannot support a valid trial.
Yet, the judge refused to hear his objection on jurisdiction, saying it would be taken after the trial.
That position turns the law upside down — a court must first decide if it has jurisdiction before taking any other step.
Otherwise, everything done becomes a nullity.

3. No Fair Hearing or Lawyer Access
Kanu told the court that his meetings with his lawyers are monitored and recorded by the DSS, which destroys the confidentiality guaranteed by Section 36 of the Constitution.
Instead of addressing this violation, the judge dismissed it, saying Kanu’s only fair hearing was to “call his witnesses.”
That is not how the law defines fair hearing — it starts with free access to counsel and an unbiased court, not with forced participation in a sham process.

4. Forged Medical Report
Kanu also complained that the medical report presented by the DSS was forged.
Instead of ordering an investigation, the judge said he would stand by the report because it was once accepted by his former lawyer, Chief Kanu Agabi, SAN.
That statement means the court knowingly chose to rely on a forged document.
No court should ever condone forgery — it offends both justice and the judicial oath.

5. What It All Means
The 23 October 2025 hearing showed a pattern of bias and deliberate injustice:

The government remains in contempt but is still entertained.
The judge refused to decide whether the law even allows the trial.
The defendant’s right to counsel and fair hearing is trampled.
A forged report is brushed aside.
This is not a trial; it is persecution dressed up as procedure.

Until the Government obeys the Court of Appeal order and releases Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, no court has moral or legal authority to continue this charade.

You cannot break the law and then ask the law to protect you.

Their absence in court, after being summoned as witnesses by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, will still work in his favor for several reasons:

1. Legal Implication of Refusal to Testify:

When witnesses—especially key figures like former governors, army chiefs, or defence officials—are summoned and they refuse to appear, it weakens the prosecution’s case. It shows they are either hiding something or afraid of being cross-examined under oath. In law, that refusal can be interpreted as withholding evidence or avoiding accountability, which casts doubt on the integrity of the government’s position.

2. Moral and Public Perception:
Their failure to appear sends a strong message to the public and the international community that the people who played roles in the events surrounding Kanu’s arrest and prosecution are not confident enough to face open questioning. It exposes the inconsistency and hypocrisy of those in power, even without them speaking a word.

3. Strategic Win for IPOB:

IPOB and its supporters can use their absence to argue that Kanu’s case is politically motivated rather than based on genuine national security concerns. It becomes a moral victory that strengthens his narrative of truth versus corruption and intimidation.

4. Judicial Consequence:

In some cases, if witnesses repeatedly refuse to appear, the defense can ask the court to strike out parts of the prosecution’s evidence that depend on their testimony, or to infer that their evidence would have been unfavorable to the prosecution.

So, whether they appear and get exposed under cross-examination, or they refuse and expose their fear—either outcome helps Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and strengthens the IPOB cause.

Orji Jonathan Orji, I hope this answered your questions.

Thanks.

Omoyele Sowore has just been arrested this morning at the High Court Abuja, shortly after he was seen exchanging greetings with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu at the court premises.

Guess what, Sowere was seen asking Chukwuka Ofoegbu (Udele) why he has continued to support oppression against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
