IGNORANTIA JUDICIS EST CALAMITAS INNOCENTIS — ET PERICULUM SOCIETATI
An ignorant judge is a calamity to the innocent—and a danger to society.
On 29 March 2025, Justice Omotosho took a plea de novo and entered a conviction. The TPAA 2013 had been repealed over two years earlier, on 3 August 2022.
In State v. Egigia (2024) LPELR-62009(SC), the Supreme Court held:
"The law is settled that a repealed law no more has legal life, thus, it cannot be cited as if it still exists. If it must be cited at all, it must be cited as a repealed law, which has no life to influence an argument. A repealed law cannot be the basis for any comparison with existing law. It cannot be quoted side by side an existing law as learned advocate did."
Justice Omotosho quoted this binding precedent verbatim in his conviction judgment.
He recognised the effect of repeal.
On 4 November 2025, in certified true records of court proceedings, Justice Omotosho stated and I quote:
"If there is no written law then you cannot be convicted."
It is there in black and white in the transcript of proceedings for anyone to see.
He knew the NON-DEROGABLE requirement of Section 36(12) of the Constitution: "No person shall be convicted... unless that offence is defined and the penalty therefor is prescribed in a written law."
"Non-derogable" means absolute and unqualified—no exception, no excuse, no judicial discretion. Not for savings clauses. Not for plea bargains. Not for Supreme Court remittals. Section 36(12) is the constitutional wall that no judge can simply climb over or ignore. Justice Omotosho was not permitted by the Constitution to disregard it. He just can't.
Everyone knows a REPEALED LAW is no longer a WRITTEN LAW—it is dead.
Yet Kanu's conviction that followed was on a repealed law—exactly what the Constitution says Justice Omotosho should not do.
This has left unanswered the most elementary question in criminal justice:
Where is the written law on which plea was taken on 29 March 2025 and conviction judgment of 20 November 2025 entered?
Prosecution (Awomolo SAN) could not answer. Trial judge (Omotosho) did not answer.
If this was ignorance, the consequences are grave. If it was a deliberate departure from the law, the consequences are even graver.
Ignorantia judicis est calamitas innocentis — et periculum societati.
A criminal court is the last place in which ignorance of the law can be permitted to destroy liberty.

Stop Hiding Behind Delay, List My Appeal: Nnamdi Kanu's Family Drags The Government
August 22, 2026
A conviction should not need administrative darkness to survive.
It should survive because the law sustains it.
That is the difference between justice and mere power.
Nigeria should understand the precedent being created here.
Today it is Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Tomorrow it could be another political dissident, Another activist, Another journalist, Another opposition figure, Another unpopular Nigerian, Another citizen whose case becomes politically inconvenient.
The principle must therefore be bigger than the personality.
When a citizen appeals a serious conviction, the appeal must be heard within the framework of law and reasonable judicial procedure, otherwise, what exactly are appeals for?
A right that cannot be practically exercised when liberty is at stake is a right only on paper.
And Nigerians deserve better than rights that exist beautifully in legal textbooks but become painfully slow when someone actually invokes them.
The world is watching.
The international dimension of the Kanu case makes this even more consequential.
His arrest, transfer to Nigeria, prosecution, conviction and imprisonment have attracted international attention for years.
Whatever position one takes on Biafra, IPOB or Kanu himself, Nigeria cannot pretend that this case exists in isolation.
Every procedural controversy becomes another question about Nigeria's commitment to the rule of law.
Every unexplained delay becomes another argument for those who say political considerations are influencing legal processes.
Every transparent hearing, by contrast, strengthens Nigeria's position.
So if the Nigerian State genuinely believes it has acted lawfully, it should want the appeal heard.
A transparent court process is Nigeria's strongest defence.
To the court of Appeal, this is not a demand for the Judges to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
It is not a demand that they overturn the conviction.
It is not a demand that they take instructions from IPOB, the Federal Government or anyone else.
It is a demand that the court perform its constitutional function.
Hear the appellant.
Hear the respondent.
Study the record.
Examine every ground of appeal.
Apply the law.
Then pronounce judgment.
That is the entire demand.
And if that sounds radical, then something has gone terribly wrong with our understanding of justice.
If the government believes the conviction is sound, come forward.
If the government's case is strong, present it.
If the appellant's grounds are weak, defeat them legally.
If the conviction is lawful, let the Court of Appeal affirm it.
But do not allow Nigerians to be left wondering why the State appears reluctant to face the appeal.
The strongest government does not fear a courtroom.
The strongest case does not fear scrutiny.
And the strongest conviction does not need delay to protect it.

Nigerian Christians need an army and self-determination as a state in Biafra so they can defend themselves and survive against Muslim murderousness. Here too, Erdogan and the Muslim Turks are helping with military training for the Muslim forces that are persecuting the Christians.
Imo: Nigerian authorities must account for hundreds of unidentified bodies - Amnesty International, 22nd August 2026
Amnesty International is deeply concerned by reports alleging that hundreds of unidentified bodies are being moved from mortuaries in Imo State, including Ngor Okpala General Hospital, to unknown destinations. Bodies have also reportedly been seen at Mbieri General Hospital. The authorities must urgently clarify the circumstances surrounding the bodies and their movement.
Horrifying videos obtained by Amnesty International shows stages of moving the dead bodies at night. Majority of the bodies are at skeletal level and in large numbers.
“Imo State Government and relevant authorities must to immediately account for all the bodies, establish their identities and causes of death, and explain when, where and how they came to be in the mortuaries and where they are now being taken. All bodies, mortuary records, medical records and other relevant evidence must be preserved to prevent interference with any investigation,” said Isa Sanusi Director Amnesty International Nigeria.
“Allegations that some of the deceased may have been victims of unlawful killings during security operations in Imo State must be promptly, independently and impartially investigated,” said Isa Sanusi
The authorities must ensure that the bodies are properly identified and subjected to appropriate forensic examinations, including autopsies where necessary, and that families are promptly informed and given information about their relatives.
No body or evidence should be concealed, destroyed, disposed of or otherwise interfered with. Anyone suspected of criminal responsibility for unlawful killings or other human rights violations must be investigated and, where there is sufficient admissible evidence, prosecuted in fair proceedings.
“The families of those who died or disappeared have a right to know what happened to their loved ones. The authorities must act urgently to establish the truth, preserve evidence and ensure justice and accountability.”
The Waiting Time Is Overstretched, Appeal Court Must Act Now: Rule Nnamdi Kanu's Case
August 22, 2026
A man sentenced to life imprisonment should be allowed to have his lawful appeal heard.
That principle belongs to everybody.
Because the rule of law becomes meaningful only when it protects people we disagree with.
It is easy to defend justice when the prisoner is your friend. To Nigerians, is not about whether you like Nnamdi Kanu or not.
You do not have to be IPOB member for you to demand that his appeal be heard.
You do not have to support Biafra before you support this call for his Appeal.
You do not have to agree with Kanu's politics.
You do not even have to believe that he will win.
You only need to believe in one simple principle:
The real test is whether you defend due process when the prisoner is somebody you dislike.
The question that will not go away. Nigeria can ignore social media posts.
It can dismiss political speeches.
It can attack IPOB propaganda.
It can disagree with Kanu's supporters.
But it cannot permanently escape a straightforward institutional question:
WHY HAS HIS APPEAL NOT BEEN HEARD?
If there is a procedural reason, tell Nigerians.
If there is an administrative reason, explain it.
If something is outstanding, identify it.
If the Federal Government has failed to file something required of it, address it.
If the court requires another step, complete it.
If the matter is ready, list it.
The longer the question remains unanswered, the louder it becomes.
The time for silence is over.
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has spent about 10 years fighting through Nigeria's legal system.
He has won battles.
He has lost battles.
He has had judgments overturned, challenged and appealed.
Now he has another appeal.
Let the legal process do what it was designed to do.
Do not bury the appeal beneath bureaucracy.
Do not allow administrative silence to become another prison wall.
Do not make the waiting itself become punishment.
And do not confuse a demand for a hearing with a demand for acquittal.
The demand is simple.
Give the man his day before the appellate court.
Let him stand there and fight for his freedom with the weapons the Constitution gives him: law, evidence and argument.
Then let the judges decide.
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu does not need anybody to tell him that prison is difficult.
He is living it.
His supporters do not need anybody to explain why freedom matters.
They understand it.
The Nigerian Government does not need anybody to explain what an appeal is.
Its lawyers know.
The Court of Appeal does not need anybody to explain its role.
Its judges know.
So there is only one thing left to do.
Bring the case forward.
Let the appeal be listed.
Let the government face it.
Let Kanu face it.
Let the lawyers argue it.
Let the judges examine it.
And let the law have the final word.
Because if Nigeria is confident that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's conviction is just, then Nigeria should have the courage to let that conviction face the highest level of scrutiny available to him.
Do not ask Nigerians to trust a system that refuses to show them the process.
Show the process.
Hear the appeal.
Deliver the judgment.
And whatever the outcome, let it be a judgment that history can record as the product of law not delay, not fear, not political convenience.
Nnamdi Kanu is simply asking for his Appeal to be heard, is this too much a request from a Justice System?

Consequences Of Lying In The Name Of God: Dav Umahi Should Be Warned
August 22, 2026
Men in their carnal nature do not understand God's capacity and HIS ways.
Some only know him as a God of mercy, but refuse to understand HIM as the same God who is a consuming fire.
People publicly lie against God, using HIS name to give a soft landing to their own intentions.
In a recent viral video across social media, Dav Umahi was seen saying that God sent him to tell the Igbos that the present government mean well for them. This is an absurdity, wickedness and witchcraft.
I may not have the capacity to say who God speaks to and who he does not, but I understand that God can speak to anybody. And there is something I do know as well; God is not an author of confusion.
The scriptures state that he is angry with the wicked everyday. I know and l am sure that God did not speak to Umahi. for God is not an author of confusion.
It is so bad to be a sellout among your own people. God hates betrayal. Dav Umahi had the effrontery to look the Igbos in the eyes and tell them "God said."
It is a taboo to trade with the life and destiny of one's own people and family.
Biafra land has suffered so much in the hands of its own illustrious sons and daughters who have decided to eat from babylon and sell their own people. That is exactly what David Umahi is doing. He does not have the interest of the Igbos at heart.
If he did, he would have cried the cry of his people seeking liberation.
If he had cried for liberation, he would have worked toward their freedom. He would have made efforts to see the present government which he is part of restore the Igbos' position.
Unfortunately, he has made himself a bad sell to the Igbos and has tried to force it down to their throat. The Igbos who are supposedly his people.
Judging by his attitude, one might be compelled to ask if he really is an Igbo man? Where did he come from? What blood runs in him? He wants his people to accept a government that has served the Igbos nothing but additional pain. The Igbos have been crying out for exodus from slavery. is he crying with them?
Is he really Igbo? A true son of Igbo blood should be fed up with what an average Nigerian receives from this nation.
In recent times, the killing and attacks against the Igbos have been hitting the sky, and the present government has done nothing to preserve the lives of its citizens. Instead, it has imprisoned the voice of freedom and yet this same blood is selling us to our oppressors and asking us to accept it.
This is witchcraft. And as far as I'm concerned, it takes someone who has been bewitched to bewitch another. But I pray that God opens the eyes of our people to this manipulation, and never allow it to prevail.
May God help us.

@HananyaNaftali The Biafra–Israel similarities are too striking to ignore. In my opinion, an independent Biafra would be a win for both—they would always watch each other’s backs. 🇧🇮🇮🇱
#FREEMNK #FREEBIAFRA #FREEMAZINNAMDIKANU
God bless Israel. 🇮🇱
This is not just a cry of one man being subjected to high levels of violence and human rights abuses, it’s a cry of a nation of Jews and Christians being subordinate to Muslims rules and conquest by the British colonialism.
The world must rise now to say no to this injustice.
His last broadcast before his abduction. He warned us. The struggle is hard, but victory is certain.
FREE MNK! FREE MNK! FREE MNK!

In his last broadcast before abduction, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu said it plainly:
God is the owner of IPOB. The next two weeks will be pivotal. Biafrans will be tested — remain strong. Many will fall by the wayside, bought over to destroy the struggle. They will fail. The time has come to separate the chaff from the wheat.
The work cannot be stopped.
