There was wild jubilation in the South-East on Thursday following the Court of Appeal judgment which quashed the terrorism charges preferred against the leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

In her ruling, Nyako held that his repatriation to Nigeria could not be said to be illegal when there was a “surviving bench warrant” for the IPOB leader’s arrest.

In a separate ruling on Kanu’s preliminary objection challenging the 15 amended charges filed against him, Nyako struck out eight of them which bordered on treasonable felony and terrorism. ‘’The lower court glossed over it. We placed this before the lower court in more than 10 paragraphs of solid materials to show the circumstances under which Nnamdi Kanu was forcibly abducted, kidnapped, blindfolded, tortured, and rendered back to Nigeria extra-judicially, extra-legally against the laws of Kenya, against the laws of Nigeria, against all international instruments dealing with extradition, including various sections of the extradition act of Nigeria, including section 15.

Ogunye said, ‘’The lesson here is for the state to learn competency. The prosecution team was standing on quicksand even before the matter was appealed. Henceforth, the Nigerian state will have to learn competency.’’ “All that the Court of Appeal said is that Nnamdi Kanu ought not to have been put on trial in the first instance. The Court of Appeal has proved that the court of law is the last hope of every Nigerian.”The apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo described the Appeal Court decision as a landmark judgment.

“Nnamdi Kanu is representing Igbo collectiveness of consciousness. We are very happy with the landmark judgment. It’s one of the very best judgments ever delivered by the judiciary.”

TO MAKE IT WORST,LET THEM APPEAL

Nigerian court told ASUU to obey their order before they can appeal. I hope they will also tell the FG to obey the discharge order and release Mr Kanu before they can appeal the judgement? What is sauce for the goose should also be sauce for the gander.

Appealing is a waste of time and resources, the judgements from the appeal court was clear, discharged and acquitted.

Vous êtes de grands clowns. Pourquoi vous et votre gouvernement ne pouvez-vous pas obéir à la loi... Quel pays absurde.

Quota system AGF that always involved in money rather proper law

Let FG go to Supreme Court on the matter and they'll still lose because, MNK was extraordinarily renditioned to Nigeria from Kenya in clear & incontrovertible violation of International Laws on such matters. Let quota system SAN and AGF Malami try his legal silliness in SC abeg.

Outlawed you claim. Arrested in Kenya you say. Lying between teeth, brown envelope journalists. He was kidnapped, show us the extradition papers? NONE!!!. Outlawed cos he asked for referendum. Main stream media have lost every iota of credibility.
