Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, has warned that the Nigerian government’s argument that there are pending charges against the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, at the Federal High Court was a 'contemptuous mockery' of the Court of Appeal's judgment which is binding on all authorities. Falana warned that the President Muhammadu Buhari led-Nigerian government should not twist the judgment of Court of Appeal on Nnamdi Kanu.

October 14, 2022Falana warned that the President Muhammadu Buhari led-Nigerian government should not twist the judgment of Court of Appeal on Nnamdi Kanu.

SaharaReporters had reported that a three-man Panel of Appeal Court Justices had on Thursday upheld the appeal of Nnamdi Kanu which sought an order of the court to discharge and acquit him of remaining 7-counts charge bordering on terrorism against him. Shortly after, the Federal Government through the Attorney General of Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami said interpreted the judgment and said that Kanu was only discharged but acquitted.

"In its judgment delivered yesterday the Court of Appeal dismissed the remaining 7-count charge and discharged Mr. Kanu on the main ground that his rendition in Kenya had rendered the entire proceedings in the Federal High Court illegal under the Nigerian Constitution and under international law. Consequently, the Court of Appeal ordered Mr. Kanu's immediate and unconditional release from the custody of the State Security Service.

The charges that were struck out below are as follows: “Count 6: Made broadcasts to attack officers of the Nigeria Police Force; Count 7: Made broadcasts in which he incited members of the public to hunt and attack officers of the Nigerian Police Force.

For us of all that aren't lawyers we need more interpretation of the judgement.

For Biafra to become involved in violent struggle for freedom is the only honor left to an oppressed people threatened with genocide, because in the final analysis the only true bulwark against death is to live. Biafra rejects death…Biafra lives UjuAnya elonmusk KimDotcom

National Security supersede Court order.

We just dey watch Nigeria like Cinema

The AGF have to resign

Bihari is noted for manipulating the law

Let the Judiciary strip off Malami his SAN status if he doesn't reciprocate on the ruling of MNK. It's only in Nigeria that executive arm of government thinks that they are more superior in 3 arms of government.

Smh....

Buhari terrorist government are you listening

This man na clown of the world 😂😂

They are not twisting anything. They are playing out a script. FG know what they are doing. They don't want to let him go easily so Nigerians won't think Nnamdi Kanu was released by them. We know the game plan is for him to dampen the enthusiasm of electorates in the South East

BiafranTweets Fulani as a people have earned themselves an exclusive notoriety in terrorism •Political Terrorism •Economic Terrorism •Social Terrorism •Judicial Terrorism •Legislative Terrorism •Executive Terrorism •Banking Terrorism •Religious Terrorism

they can do what ever they want we the biafra people don't care we only care about our blessed great leader if anything happens to him we are going to set this British company called Nigeria ablaze

Malami should thank his start that our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is a peaceful man , if i were to be the leader of IPOB, I bet Malami would not be looking for ways to arrest me , he would be busy running for his life

E sogba sir. Wahala ti e da si ASUU lorun ni won bo be.

It has entered triablism

When people like Falana are overlooked and a quota-ststem SAN is made attorney general. Isn't that regime doomed

Northern leaders in Nigeria are the people bringing disunity in Nigeria because they dislike peace

Before you know it international community will tell you that they prefer lawyers from Ghana to those of Nigeria. JESUS HELP US SO THAT THIS APC WILL BE REJECTED BOTH ON EARTH AND HEAVEN.

APC rendered the Naira worthless, they have now rendered Nigerian schools’( universities and polytechnics) certificates worthless and useless locally and internationally. Next is the judiciary whereby it will be turned to laughing stock

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has always been right about Fulanis everything he said about them is true how do you extraordinary rendition an innocent man yet you refuse to let him go after your own court said you should free him what a shame.

We are waiting for Lie Mohammed to come and lie with his whole mouth that the judgment was a mock one by aspiring law graduates

That's the problem, FG go gree?

This action of the government on disrespect for judicial orders is enough to precipitate judicial disobedience and boycott courts by the NBA. Nigerians did not elect Buhari to destroy our judiciary, rather was elected to strengthen our judiciary and boost the confidence of masses

They have already Twisted it since yesterday

Better lawyer wey sabi work. ❤️ If not for quota system, what is an established kunu producer doing as Attorney General?

We IPOB are seting traps for fulanis government of nigeria and they are falling on it

Falana don start again o

When ohaneze met Buhari on this matter, he said he can't interfere with the matter, that the court should decide, now court has decided, yet Malami decided to trash the legal process. Humm! Stubborn fly will always follow the corpse to the grave.
