NBA SHOULD KINDLY TELL THE WORLD UNDER WHAT LAW NNAMDI KANU IS BEING TRIED – IPOB

October 31, 2025 • Dons Eze • 2 min read

Instead of renting washed-out and poorly lettered individuals who parade themselves on television and social media to comment on matters far above their understanding, the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) should do one very simple thing—since the court has refused to do it.

Let the NBA, as the supposed guardian of legal conscience in Nigeria, tell the world under what extant and subsisting law Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is being tried today. Just one question. Not two. Not three. Under what law?

Because the last time we checked, the law under which he was allegedly charged has been repealed. And the court itself seems too shy—or too complicit—to admit that elementary fact. So instead of entertaining retired commentators, recycled “legal analysts,” and political errand boys who can barely interpret a traffic sign, the NBA should kindly step forward and help Nigerians understand what law is actually in operation here.

If the judiciary won’t say it, the NBA should. Unless of course, they too have decided that rule of law is now a suggestion, not a standard.

We are not asking for magic. We are asking for truth—the same truth the NBA once claimed to defend. The world is watching, and history is taking notes.
