NNAMDI KANU’S TERRORISM TRIAL BEGINS AFRESH MARCH 21 AS NEW JUDGE TAKES OVER
NNAMDI KANU’S TERRORISM TRIAL BEGINS AFRESH MARCH 21 AS NEW JUDGE TAKES CHARGE James Omotosho, judge of a federal high court in Abuja, has fixed March 21 for the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). According to NAN, Omotosho is the new judge to which Kanu’s case file was assigned. With a new judge taking over, Kanu’s case, which first started in 2015, will now begin afresh. BACKGROUND Kanu has been in the custody of the DSS since he was re-arrested in Kenya and extradited to Nigeria in 2021. He has been facing trial bordering on treasonable felony. In 2017, the court granted Kanu bail on the charges filed against him by the federal government. However, the court revoked his bail and issued a bench warrant for his arrest after he failed to show up in court as required. In April 2022, Justice Binta Nyako struck out eight of the 15 counts in the charge sheet. The remaining seven counts were also quashed by the court of appeal on October 13, 2022, with the judge ordering Kanu’s release. However, on October 28, 2022, the court of appeal granted a stay of execution on its verdict discharging Kanu after the federal government filed an appeal at the supreme court. CASE REASSIGNED TO NEW JUDGE Kanu had repeatedly asked Nyako to recuse herself from his case, alleging bias. In September 2024, Nyako recused herself after an oral application by the defendant. Two weeks later, John Tsoho, chief judge of the federal high court, returned the case file to Nyako on the ground that Kanu’s application must be formally brought before the court through a motion on notice. On February 10, 2025, Nyako adjourned Kanu’s case indefinitely following the defendant’s insistence that the judge would not preside over his case since she had recused herself. In a statement on March 8, Kanu’s lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, confirmed receiving “two separate official letters” from Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, chief justice of Nigeria (CJN), and Tsoho, informing him of the case reassignment. The federal high court subsequently issued a statement confirming the reassignment of Kanu’s case to another judge.

NNAMDI KANU’S CASE FINALLY REASSIGNED TO ANOTHER JUDGE
NNAMDI KANU’S CASE FINALLY REASSIGNED TO ANOTHER JUDGE The Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice John Tsoho has reassigned the case of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, to another judge. This was disclosed by Kanu’s lead Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor via a statement on Saturday. Ejimakor disclosed that Kanu is ready to face his trial because he’s convinced of his innocence. In a statement signed by Ejimakor, he said: “Yesterday, before the legal team conducted our routine visitation to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, we received two separate official letters regarding his case. The letters are momentous and somewhat pyrrhic. “One letter was from the Honourable Chief Justice of Nigeria, responding to a recent letter we had written to her, seeking her prompt administrative intervention (as the administrative head of Nigerian judiciary) on the matter of a proper and lawful reassignment of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s case, following the recusal of the Judge that was conducting it. “The other letter was from the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, informing us that the case has been reassigned to another Judge of the Federal High Court. “Consequent upon these latest developments, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu instructed the legal team to publicly convey his sincere gratitudes to the Chief Justice of Nigeria for her sound administrative discretions and the despatch with which she responded to our request. “He also expressed his profound appreciations to members of the general public who publicly expressed their support to our righteous demands that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s case be reassigned to another Judge, as the law demands. “To be sure, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has always been ready to take his trial because he is firmly convinced of his innocence. But the perverse events of the past six months (from September 2024, when the recusal happened) posed portent dangers to his constitutional rights, particularly his right to fair and speedy hearing. “It was in view of these untoward developments that we were propelled to resort to taking extraordinary measures to ensure that his case is properly reassigned and conducted in accordance with the law. “So, now that the first steps have been taken by the authorities to do the lawful thing, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his legal team shall take stock and hanker down to the zealous preparation of his defense.”

WE WANT BIAFRA NATION NOT ADDITIONAL STATES – IPOB
WE WANT BIAFRA NATION, NOT ADDITIONAL STATES – IPOB The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Monday declared that it wants an independent nation of Biafra and not additional states in the Southeast. There have been moves to create an additional 31 new states in Nigeria, including five states from the Southeast. The proposed states are Etiti State, Adada State, Urashi State, Orlu State, and Aba State. However, IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, said the current states are bankrupt and not functioning properly. In a statement he signed, Powerful said: “Following the rumours that the Nigerian Government and the National Assembly proposed to create an additional 31 new states in Nigeria, we, the global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide, wish to categorically state that Biafrans do not want the creation of new states. Instead of multiplying economically bankrupt states, the unworkable Nigerian unity should be dissolved. “The IPOB movement is against the creation of new states because the existing states are bankrupt and not functioning properly. Creating more states is tantamount to creating more confusion, disunity, and insecurity. Nigerians are suffering because of the faulty foundations of the Nigerian state and the insurmountable corruption in the Nigerian government. “Nigerian politicians are deep to their necks in corruption. Corruption has eaten into every fabric of Nigerian society. Hence, no amount of multiplication of states and security agencies will solve Nigerians’ monumental corruption, insecurity, and other problems. Nigeria is a country founded on fraud, sustained in fraud, and incapable of sustaining human and capital development. Any society built on fraud cannot stand. That is why IPOB and other rational indigenous minds in Nigeria are calling for the dissolution of Nigeria. “At their flag independence given to them by the British in 1960, Nigeria had three major regions. Later, the Mid-Western Region was created after a referendum, making it the fourth region. These regions were progressive and competitive because they enjoyed constitutionally granted autonomy. However, Nigeria’s woes started when a genocidist, ‘Jack’ Gowon, and his clueless Supreme Military Council created 12 states in order to divide Biafrans and prevent them from fighting the war of 1967-1970 in unison. Gowon’s decision to divide and carve out some ethnic groups from one region to another was the beginning of ethnic tensions in Nigeria today. Such an ethnically bigoted decision destroyed the autonomy of the regions, leading to this useless federal system that has resulted in the country’s economic and security woes. “To add salt to injury, a heartless murderer, Murtala Muhammad, created more states and increased Nigeria to 19 states, favoring the Northern Region with more states than the South. In the same way, Fulani military heads of state like Ibrahim Babangida and Abacha created even more states to continue favoring the Northern region. Today, the incessant state creation, inspired by the born-to-rule mentality of the Fulanis, has destroyed the progressive regions and resulted in useless states that depend on Abuja handouts in the name of allocation sharing to survive. Even if Tinubu’s government creates an additional 100 states, the political equation between the North, West, and East (previous regions) will never be balanced. The previous ethnically bigoted Northern military leaders have already created unfavorable political equations that are inimical to the unity of Nigeria. Postponing the division of Nigeria is embracing the evil days, which are already upon us. “IPOB says NO to the new state creation proposal that will include the Biafra region. Our position is clear: we don’t want our region to be balkanized or broken down any further. Instead, Ndigbo need our Igbo brothers and sisters, villages, clans, and whole regions carved into Kogi, Benue, and Edo states back into Alaigbo. The Nigerian government can create more states to…

FEDERAL HIGH COURT CLEARS IPOB’S HEAD OF DIRECTORATE FROM NIGERIA’S WANTED LIST – IPOB’S COUNSEL
FEDERAL HIGH COURT CLEARS IPOB’S HEAD OF DIRECTORATE FROM NIGERIA’S WANTED LIST – IPOB’s COUNSEL A Federal High Court sitting in Owerri, Imo State, presided over by Hon. Justice I.N. Oweibo, on Thursday, declared illegal the inclusion of Mazi Chika Edoziem, the Head of Directorate for the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), on Nigeria’s wanted list. The ruling came in response to a suit filed by Mazi Chika Edoziem against the Hon. Minister of Defence and the Chief of Defence Staff. IPOB’s counsel, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, revealed the court’s decision in a statement to newsmen in Owerri following the ruling. “In a historic ruling today, the Federal High Court No. 1 in Owerri, presided over by Hon. Justice I.N. Oweibo, delivered a landmark judgment in Suit No: FHC/OW/FHR/29/2024. The court declared illegal the wrongful designation of Mazi Chika Edoziem as a ‘wanted person, terrorist, insurgent, kidnapper, and violent criminal’ by the Minister of Defence and the Chief of Defence Staff,” Ejiofor stated. He explained that the court ruled that the March 22, 2024, publication of Edoziem’s name and photograph in the Ministry of Defence’s First Edition of 2024 was a gross violation of his constitutionally guaranteed right to dignity of the human person and, therefore, unconstitutional. The court directed the Minister of Defence and the Chief of Defence Staff to: Immediately retract the unconstitutional declaration of Mazi Chika Edoziem as a “terrorist,” “insurgent,” “kidnapper,” “violent criminal,” and “wanted person.” Issue an unreserved public apology to Mazi Chika Edoziem in two national newspapers. In addition, the court awarded ₦500 million in damages to Edoziem for the infringement on his fundamental rights. “The court awarded ₦500 million to Mazi Chika Edoziem as compensation for the violation of his fundamental right to dignity of the human person,” Ejiofor confirmed. Ejiofor highlighted that among the names listed in the Ministry of Defence’s publication, Edoziem was the only one who successfully challenged his inclusion. “His global reputation as a peace advocate stands in sharp contrast to these blatant false allegations. This judgment is a strong statement against unjust profiling and reinforces the need for due process in security matters,” Ejiofor added. Ejiofor urged security agencies to adopt proper profiling methods rather than targeting innocent citizens. “The real perpetrators of crime operate in known locations, and tackling insecurity requires a collective effort beyond the actions of the security forces,” he emphasized. The ruling marks a significant victory for Mazi Chika Edoziem and reinforces the importance of constitutional protections and due process in handling security-related designations.

I’LL REMAIN IN DETENTION FOR LIFE UNTIL IMPARTIAL JUDGE TAKES OVER MY CASE- KANU
I’LL REMAIN IN DETENTION for LIFE UNTIL IMPARTIAL JUDGE TAKES OVER MY CASE – KANU Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Saturday said he’s prepared to remain in detention all his life until a proper and impartial judge handles his matter. Kanu alleged a serial executive and judicial fraud being perpetrated against him since 2021 when he was extraordinarily renditioned. The IPOB leader claimed that his matter is deliberately being shielded from judges and justices who can deliver impartial judgments that may lead to the Federal Government losing in court. Kanu is currently facing trial before Justice Binta Nyako of the Abuja Federal High Court on terrorism-related charges. He has been detained since 2021 when he was subjected to extraordinary rendition from Kenya to Nigeria. Since his return to Nigeria, the Appeal Court in Abuja had discharged and acquitted him of all charges against him. Despite the ruling, the Nigerian government has refused to grant Kanu freedom. Meanwhile, there has been some back and forth with Justice Nyako over the handling of his matter. In 2024, Kanu had challenged Nyako to step down from his trial because he lacked confidence in her judgment. Responding, the judge recused herself, but the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, John Tsoho, insisted that she should continue with the matter. Last week, Justice Nyako adjourned the matter indefinitely. However, in an open letter he personally signed, Kanu said: “I have been compelled by the events of the past few days to take the unusual step of writing this Open Letter for the singular purpose of calling the attention of the general public to the serial executive and judicial fraud being perpetrated against me since my extraordinary rendition in 2021. The details are as follows: “In a judgment entered on 1st March 2017, the Federal High Court Abuja ruled that the ‘IPOB is not an unlawful group.’ At the time, it received widespread publicity which can be verified. This landmark ruling (made by the court before it turned unjust) emanated in a criminal proceeding that required ‘proof beyond reasonable doubt’ and in which the Federal Government and my humble self presented our respective cases. Alas! Instead of the Federal Government to go on appeal as the law mandated (if they are dissatisfied with the judgment), the former Attorney-General (Abubakar Malami) went behind closed doors with a letter signed by late Abba Kyari and got IPOB proscribed/tagged a terrorist group in an ex parte proceeding conducted without notice to me or to the IPOB. This abominable incident was the earliest sign yet that the government and its judiciary have struck an unholy and fraudulent alliance to deny me my rights and thereby imperil the lives and liberty of millions who identify with IPOB. “On 26th October 2022, a Federal High Court declared my extraordinary rendition and detention as unconstitutional, stating that: ‘the manner of arrest and detention of the Applicant (Mazi Nnamdi Kanu) in Kenya, his continued detention in Abuja, his subjection to physical and mental trauma by the Respondents, the inhuman and degrading treatment meted out to the Applicant amounts to a brazen violation of the Applicant’s fundamental right to dignity of his person and threat to life under Section 34 (1)(a) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).’ The Court further ordered the Federal Government to apologize to me and pay me compensation. In a responsible and well-ordered society, run by a responsible government, this judgment is sufficient to have ended my lengthy detention and encouraged the Federal Government to constructively engage me on the issue of the self-determination agitation that triggered this whole saga. “Pedal back to 13th October 2022 when the Court of Appeal…

SOUTH EAST GOVERNORS NOT DOING ENOUGH TO SECURE KANU’S RELEASE – FAMILY
SOUTH EAST GOVERNORS NOT DOING ENOUGH TO SECURE KANU’S RELEASE — FAMILY The family of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPoB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has accused South East Governors of not doing enough to secure his release. Prince Emmanuel Kanu who spoke Friday in Umuahia during a memorial in honour of their late parents, HRM Eze Israel, and Ugoeze Sally Kanu, said the Governors had not demonstrated genuine commitment towards his freedom. He wondered why the Governors had not met with the condition given to them by Mr President, arguing that if truly they are sincerely committed to his release, they would have sought an audience with the President over his case. He said: ” South East Governors are not doing enough to secure the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. It’s either they are complicit or something. The big question is: Why have they not met with Mr President on Nnamdi Kanu? The information available to us is that Mr President asked them to meet with him officially over the matter but up till now they haven’t done so. “Are the Governors benefiting from the unrest in the South East or what? What are they afraid of? Free Nnamdi Kanu today and all this tension in the South East will fizzle out in 24 hours because we will now know those hiding under the guise of the agitation for his release to perpetrate crime in the region.” On the indefinite adjournment of Kanu’s trial, the family said Justice Binta Nyako, no longer had jurisdiction to preside over Kanu’s trial having earlier recused herself from the matter. Kanu’s family also wondered why Justice Nyako would choose to adjourn the matter indefinitely, asking what her interest was in the matter. “Why is she trying to force herself in the case? Does she have interest in the matter? We have said it severally that she is biased. She has turned down every application to relocate Nnamdi Kanu to prison custody instead of the DSS cell where they have held him for years under severe conditions”. The family, therefore, called on the international community to prevail on the Nigerian authorities to release the IPoB leader who, it insisted, committed no crime to be incarcerated. Prince Emmanuel commended Biafran elders and all those who gathered in the family to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the demise of the parents. He said his parents died as a result of the trauma they had following the September 14 , 2017 military invasion of their country home. “We are humbled to see the crowd that gathered in our house to honour my late parents who died as a result of the shock they had when the soldiers raided our house in 2017. 28 people were killed in our house during that raid. The people have renamed today, February 14 , Saint Kanu’s Day to honour my late parents who were buried on February 14. We appreciate everyone for coming especially those from outside South East States. We are encouraged by their show of love”. He demanded the unconstitutional release of Kanu who he said, meant well for everyone, saying “we demand my brother’s release. The issues he raised are germane. His matter is a case of dialogue and meaningful conversation”. Speaking earlier, the leader of Elders in Biafra land, High Chief Agonsi Ebere, said they came to honour Kanu’s late parents who laid down their lives for Biafra’s freedom. He urged the Federal Government to heed the growing pleas for Kanu’s release, saying his continued detention will not bring any progress to Nigeria. Chief Ebere appealed to President Bola Tinubu to release Kanu to Biafra elders, adding that his release will restore peace to the South East.…

CAMBRIDGE HONOURS NIGERIAN PHD STUDENT FOR BIAFRA HERITAGE PROJECT
CAMBRIDGE HONOURS NIGERIAN PhD STUDENT FOR BIAFRA HERITAGE PROJECT A PhD student at the University of Cambridge’s Department of Archaeology, Stanley Onyemechalu, has been recognised for his Legacies of Biafra Heritage Project. According to an article published by the department on Monday, Onyemechalu was recently named runner-up in the Early Career Researcher category at the Cambridge Awards for Research Impact and Engagement. Onyemechalu’s project reportedly engaged both young and old in Enugu, south-eastern Nigeria, through creative artistic expressions. “Through workshops and an exhibition, the project aimed to promote intergenerational dialogue and historical awareness on the legacies of the Nigeria-Biafra war, a sensitive part of people’s collective history that has been suppressed by successive Nigerian governments,” the article read. “I am honoured to have received this important recognition from the University of Cambridge for my work with communities in south-eastern Nigeria,” Onyemechalu was quoted as saying. He added, “I am grateful to my collaborators at the Centre for Memories in Enugu, Nigeria, including the project volunteers and participants; my supervisor, Dr Dacia Viejo-Rose, and colleagues at the Cambridge Heritage Research Centre; as well as the Public Engagement team at the University of Cambridge. “I would also like to thank the Royal Anthropological Institute, the Wenner-Gren Foundation, and the University’s Public Engagement Starter Fund for supporting the project.” Onyemechalu’s award was part of a wider celebration of research excellence at Cambridge. Professor Gilly Carr, a researcher at the Institute of Continuing Education and the Department of Archaeology, was also recognised as runner-up in the Established Academic category for her work on The Safeguarding Sites Project, while Dr Nik Petek-Sargeant, a scholar at the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, was similarly honoured as a runner-up in the Early Career Researcher category for his Historical East African Archaeology and Theory Project. The Cambridge Awards for Research Impact and Engagement are reportedly presented annually to celebrate innovative research approaches that have significant social, cultural, and academic impact. “The awards, presented by Vice-Chancellor Professor Deborah Prentice and Professor Sir John Aston FRS, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research, recognise innovative practices and partnership working across the engagement, knowledge exchange, and impact space,” the article noted.

NNAMDI KANU ASKS JUDGE TO WITHDRAW FROM HIS TRIAL
. AGAIN, NNAMDI KANU ASKS JUDGE TO WITHDRAW FROM HIS TRIAL Drama ensued at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday morning as Aloy Ejimakor, the lawyer to Nnamdi Kanu, told judge Binta Nyako to recuse herself from the trial. Mr Ejimakor said the request for her to quit the case again came from his client, who is the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a group agitating for the secession of South-east states and parts of some neighbouring states as a sovereign Biafra nation. Nnamdi Kanu, who has been in the custody of the State Security Service (SSS) since 2021, is standing trial before Mrs Nyako on charges of terrorism and treasonable felony arising from his separatist activists as a pro-Biafra agitator. He arrived at the court premises in company with SSS operatives at about 8:30 a.m. on Monday. Mr Kanu’s trial was earlier stalled after Mrs Nyako recused herself from the case following the IPOB leader’s oral application on 24 September 2024. The IPOB leader broke into a conversation between the bar and the bench during the court session to tell the judge to withdraw from the case. He said he no longer had confidence in her handling of his trial. However, John Tsoho, Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, returned the file to Mrs Nyako on the grounds that Nnamdi Kanu’s application must be brought formally before the court through a motion on notice. Consequently, in a letter dated 5 December 2024, addressed to the Deputy Chief Registrar; the prosecution led by Adegboyega Awomolo asked the court to fix a date for the commencement of the trial. Opposing the request for a trial date, the defence counsel, Mr Ejimakor, in a letter dated 9 December 2024, said the ruling of the judge recusing herself remained valid. Mr Ejimakor further asked that the case be transferred to a division of the Federal High Court in the Igbo-dominated South-east region of the country if no judge in Abuja is willing to preside over it. Nnamdi Kanu at Monday hearingAt the resumed hearing on Monday, the prosecuting counsel led by Mr Awomolo, told the judge was ready for the commencement of trial as his witnesses were ready. However, Mr Ejimakor said his client, Nnamdi Kanu, has made a choice to not stand trial before Mrs Nyako. “The defendant is still asking that your lordship recuse herself from this matter,” Ejimakor told the court. In response, the judge said “the Chief Judge had not accepted the recusal and had referred the case back” to her for trial. She asked the defence team led by Mr Ejimakor to send a written application if they still insist on the recusal.

NOBODY SHOULD BEG TINUBU’S GOVT FOR MY RELEASE – NNAMDI KANU
NOBODY SHOULD BEG TINUBU’S GOVT FOR MY RELEASE — NNAMDI KANU Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), has made it clear that he doesn’t want anyone begging for his release from detention. According to his counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, Kanu believes he hasn’t committed any crime and therefore shouldn’t be subjected to appeals for pardon or clemency. Kanu’s warning comes after some South East leaders, including Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Benjamin Kalu, called on President Bola Tinubu to release him. However, Kanu emphasises that his release should be based on the rule of law, citing a Federal High Court judgment that declared his detention unconstitutional. Instead of begging for his release, Kanu suggests that those who want to help should focus on ensuring that his case is conducted with impartiality and adherence to the rule of law. He also expresses gratitude to those working towards restoring security and tranquility in Igboland. This was contained in a statement signed by his counsel, Aloy Ejimakor on Saturday. Ejimakor, in the statement published on his social media handle, said Kanu was displeased with appeals for his release and frowned at such appeals on Friday. “During my visitation with Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu yesterday, he made it abundantly clear that while he is deeply appreciative of the efforts and the widespread calls being made by well-meaning individuals and groups to secure his release, he, however, instructed his legal team to issue the following clarifications: “The matter of releasing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not an act of mercy, pardon, executive clemency, or even amnesty. Instead, it should be an act of simply complying with the subsisting Federal High Court judgment that declared his detention as unconstitutional or even the extant international tribunal decisions that separately declared his detention as unlawful. Alternatively, the decision to free him from detention and discontinue his infamous prosecution can be made by simply resorting to the constitutional provisions that empower the Attorney-General of the Federation (on the directives of the President) to discontinue any prosecution. “Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is adamant that nobody should plead or beg anybody on his behalf because he has committed no crime. Self-determination which is the real issue that got twisted to suddenly become a high crime is an inalienable right guaranteed under the laws of Nigeria, the United Nations, the United Kingdom, and Kenya. Thus, the perverse and unlawful criminalisation of his exercise of this right should not unwittingly be encouraged through some misguided appeals for pardon, clemency, or mercy. Thus, releasing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not an act of mercy or pardon but an act of abiding by rule of law. “In as much as those calling for his release are sincere, their calls for pardon or clemency may be misconstrued as a green light to the executive branch or even the courts to violate the rule of law by continuing to subject Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to a prosecution or trial that does not comport with the tenets of the Constitution and Nigeria’s treaty obligations. “Instead of begging, those desiring his release should emulate the language and tact used by Afenifere, Ohaneze, World Igbo Congress (WIC), ranking members of the National Assembly, American Military Veterans of Igbo Descent (AVID), Ambassadors for Self Determination (based in America), the international community and a host of others who have made it clear that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu deserves to be released because he has committed no offence known to law. If truth be told, it is Nigeria’s executive branch which extraordinarily renditioned Mazi Nnamdi Kanu that should show contrition for resorting to extraordinary rendition which is a State crime under international law and and the common law. If any begging must be done,…
