NNAMDI KANU: JUDGE CONTRADICTS SELF AND OPPOSES THE RULING OF THE COURT

NNAMDI KANU: JUDGE CONTRADICTS SELF AND OPPOSES THE RULING OF THE COURT

What happened today in Abuja high court 3 is what nobody ever dreamed was possible, the trial judge seems to be behave how pleases him without guidelines laid under the law. This is appearing more like the law no longer bind the judge but the judge binds the law anyhow he wants. It is indeed sad that it has been made clear that Nnamdi Kanu will suffer persecution instead of prosecution. The reality remains that the trial judge is focused on what he wants, is like telling a complainant to judge his case, the trial judge has proved that he would do anything possible to nail Nnamdi Kanu even though it involves trampling on the constitution, protocols and guidelines.

　　Recall that the judge gave a previous ruling that on no account or reason shall Nnamdi Kanu’s trial be done in secret. He held that, it is the responsibility of the Nigerian security to grant protection to any witness, he also held that demeanor should not be shield from the court, this trial judge in his wisdom struck out the application for a secret trial. Today, the case has changed which buttresses the inconsistency of the judge and prosecution that have failed woefully to prosecute the accused. When people say 100 million can change the life and conscience of any Nigerian, do not doubt them so much.

　　I am yet to see why Nigeria can’t be called a zoo, where is the law and integrity of the man appointed to serve justice?  Where is justice and total adherence to the purity of the court, if the court can say yes on a matter and tomorrow say no on that same matter, where then shall Biafrans anchor their hope?. The reality remains that there is no place for us in Nigeria and we shall only remain a people under slavery and absolute marginalization unless Biafra is restored.

　　I am one of them that was shocked that mask men issue will come up again today, I was done with every issue concerning witnesses, I only expected witnesses to come and testify but the DSS came up with it again today and the judge have no option. Instead of freeing Nnamdi Kanu against the orders of Buhari, he contradicted himself by making a U-turn on his ruling to rule again that mask men will testify against Nnamdi Kanu. I wonder how sweet is his vomit that he has to take it again.

　　Buttressing his decision, the judge cited that this is not the first time a witness is testifying in mask or behind the scene, the paid-judge cited the case of the former President of Ivory coast but Chucks Muoma who showed knowledge more than that of the judge, reminded the judge that Ivory Coast is not a common wealth country and so uses civil law while Nigeria a common wealth country uses common law. The judge in defense of himself and shame said that behind the camera is not being in mask, but the judge also failed to know that secret trial is secret trial hence it was not done in public hence contradicting his previous ruling.

　　Another thing is that upon the abuse of court process and integrity of the court, Justice John Tosho will still be parading himself as a learned judge in charge of a sacred institution. It is high time to remind this judge that in computer age, it gives everybody the opportunity to know things and how they should be done. If the DSS were not okay with the ruling of the court that mask men must not testify, the law has a proper channel for that. The appeal court is where one heads to once a ruling has been made and not returning to contradict the same ruling. Where is the integrity and consistency of Nigerian court?

　　The judge and the DSS seems to be working in conjunction to terminate Nnamdi Kanu but the effect will be maximum now the people are aware there is a persecution instead of prosecution of their leader. The extremism is burning immeasurably and there is need to take a step now there is time than be consumed in it. Having contradicted himself and taken back the vomit of the court, it poses a lot of question as to must everything be contravened simply to enthrone injustice. Peaceful agitation is a fundamental right that should be commended but Justice John Tsoho is giving us every reason to believe peace is not attainable in Nigeria.

　　As this is going on, it should be noted that the effect of injustice is always atomic reaction because man is prone to survival and soul satisfaction. The law must be allowed to work on Nnamdi Kanu other than people working on him. This is freedom fighting and we are aware that death is involved, Nnamdi Kanu said it before now but how we die is very much important to us. We shall not allow any man or anyone decide our fate and we shall vehemently oppose it.
