IPOB PRESS STATEMENT
SUBJECT: Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu Accepts In Toto the Federal Government's Cross-Appeal Damning Admission: Trial Court Acted Without Jurisdiction — A Total Collapse That the Court of Appeal Cannot Cure
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) wishes to draw the attention of the world, the international community, and all men of conscience to yet another spectacular self-inflicted wound by the APC-led Federal Government of Nigeria in its desperate attempt to keep Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in perpetual bondage.
In its Notice of Cross-Appeal filed against the judgment of the Federal High Court, Abuja (Coram: Hon. Justice J.K. Omotosho), delivered on the 20th day of November, 2025, the Federal Government unequivocally declared in black and white that the trial Court acted without jurisdiction when it imposed life imprisonment on Counts 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6.
Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the indefatigable Lion of Biafra and Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, accepts this premise in toto. We adopt the Federal Government’s own words as our own. If the trial Court acted without jurisdiction at the sentencing phase, then the entire sentencing exercise is a nullity ab initio. Jurisdiction is not divisible. It is a sacred continuum. You cannot validly convict a man and then lack jurisdiction to sentence him on the same counts. That is judicial absurdity.
As the Supreme Court made clear in the immortal Madukolu v. Nkemdilim (1962), once there is a feature in the case that prevents the court from exercising jurisdiction, the entire proceedings are null and void no matter how well conducted. The Federal Government has now supplied that fatal feature through its own pleading. With the greatest respect, the Court of Appeal lacks the power to repair, cure, or resuscitate what the Respondent itself has declared jurisdictionally dead.
The FG cannot approbate and reprobate. They cannot admit the sentencing phase was conducted without jurisdiction and in the same breath urge the Court of Appeal to impose the death penalty on that same rotten foundation. This is not law; this is legal gymnastics born out of desperation and bad faith.
If the ill-thought-out Cross-Appeal orchestrated by the Attorney General of the Federation, Prince Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, Chief Awomolo, SAN, and the Yoruba APC Presidency is aimed at intimidating Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu into renouncing Biafra, then they have grossly miscalculated. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is the reincarnation of the indomitable Biafran spirit and will never yield to such cheap blackmail. Other former freedom fighters may be cowards, but not Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. To the FG, we say: bring it on.
This self-destructive Cross-Appeal is a clear manifestation of divine intervention and the inevitable collapse of the entire fabricated case against Onyendu. The Federal Government has handed us the sledgehammer to demolish their own conviction. The sentencing is void. The foundation is shattered. The entire prosecution stands on quicksand.
We call on the Court of Appeal to do justice by dismissing the Cross-Appeal with ignominy and allowing the Appellant’s main appeal in its entirety, leading to the immediate and unconditional release of Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
The world is watching. History is watching. No amount of judicial acrobatics or cheap intimidation can cure a fundamental lack of jurisdiction. The Lion of Biafra remains unbowed, and the spirit of Biafra remains unconquerable.

SPECIAL UPDATE:
In the past few days, I have been inundated with inquiries from legions of wellwishers (in Nigeria & abroad) as to whether the appellate Brief for MAZI NNAMDI KANU has been filed.
I relayed these genuine concerns to #MNK & he instructed me to now publicly disclose that:
YES. The Brief has been filed, but it’s not the version that was circulated on social media some days ago.
What now remains is for the Government to join issues by filing it’s own reply Brief, and so soon thereafter, the Court of Appeal will set a date for the hearing of the appeal or adoption of the respective Briefs in open court.
Once this is done, the Court will be minded to render its judgment within 90 days, as required by law.
Thank you.

American Military Veterans of Igbo Descent warns Abdul Danbature Garba (Arewa youth leader) that it “stands firmly with Barrister Aloy Ejimakor & will not tolerate any attempt to intimidate or silence legitimate voices exercising their constitutional right to free speech”.
Ndigbo, this just happened in your homeland, in the vicinity of Ishiagu & Awgu, central Igboland. Who did it & number of casualties are all in the video. It’s indeed another tragedy.
This video contains portent THREATS made against me by this Northern youth. He said more that affects others, especially Southern Nigerians. I decided to post it here in the public interest and for record purposes. Does anyone know who he is?
Did you know? Federal Government troops under Col. Gado Nasko fired the first artillery shots into Biafra on July 6, 1967, at Garkem, in present-day Cross River State. That ignited the Biafran War.
Did You Know?
Bruce Mayrock, a 20-year-old Columbia University student, took his own life by setting himself on fire in front of the United Nations Building on 29th May 1969, to protest the genocide of Biafrans, people he had never met.

Just look at an innocent man fighting for the survival of his people they tagged a "Rebel " and you believed them .
Just hear him speak with an open mind you will understand that from day he was searching for peace to end the senseless war while he fought to defend as much as he could !
The truth is coming out !
If you know any State in Nigeria that has not suffered Fulani terror attack, raise your hand. It’s no longer herdsmen but an army of 30,000 which is enough to conquer a nation.
“Gen. Yakubu Gowon's failure to secure and protect the lives and properties of the Igbos in the North forced Col. Emeka Ojukwu to declare the secession of the Eastern Region from Nigeria in May 1967, leading to the fratricidal Nigerian-Biafran civil war”

On mere suspicion of being #IPOB, CHUKWU SUNDAY OBASI has been detained by DSS since March 2021 without trial & access to lawyers/relatives. Please join me in publicly calling for his immediate release or at least presented in court to defend himself. #FreeSundayObasi.
In his book, Gowon cast Ojukwu as the bad guy on #Biafra & Aburi.
In this video, Ojukwu replied Gowon word for word, as if he knew what was to come.
