Anybody who studies this video objectively will agree that the MAZI NNAMDI KANU you see here is not a violent man and he meant well. This was in August 2017, and a political solution was in insight before they struck with Python Dance. #MNK was the good guy; the others were not.
WEEKLY UPDATE FROM THE HDODS MAZI CHRIS NWOGU.
Another week has come. We have work to account for. And only two things still matter: the freedom of Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and of all those detained at home and abroad, and the restoration of Biafra.
Everything we do must serve those two things.
The Federal Government has not filed a Respondent's Brief. They have not listed the appeal. They have not come to court. A country that rushed to convict is now too frightened to defend the conviction.
We are giving them fourteen days to list and hear Onyendu's appeal.
If they refuse, IPOB will review its position and will consider boycotting the coming elections across Biafraland and beyond. A government that will not face its own Court of Appeal has no right to demand our votes.
This judicial conspiracy — from the trial court through the remittal to the present silence — will shame the Chief Justice of Nigeria and every lawyer who still pretends this system is healthy. This case will either reset the Nigerian judiciary or expose it as an instrument.

If you’re one of those few people attacking the American Military Veterans of Igbo Descent (AVID), watch this video. It’s a thing of pride & honor to all Ndigbo that we have these many Igbos (plus more) as top officers in the American military, the best military in the world.
Madam Rachel Nwosu is a true force of nature, capable of opening any door. May Elohim continue to bless her and her team as they work tirelessly toward the restoration of Biafra.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Nissim Vaturi, the Deputy Speaker of the Israeli Knesset. True to the meaning of his name—"miracles"—we were fortunate to witness numerous remarkable and miraculous outcomes on July 15, 2026.
LEGAL NOTICE: Some people need to be reminded that MAZI NNAMDI KANU is in prison for fighting for his people, not for allegedly buying a house in Kenya or for infidelity. So, before uttering your next defamation against him, think twice because muscular legal actions will ensue.
FOR THE KUJE DOS EXPELLED.
IPOB is here permanently.
Dissolved DOS lacks authority.
Stop stealing our identity.
Unveil your own movement.
We are not connected.

ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ELDERS ADVISORY COUNCIL
In furtherance of strengthening the leadership structure of the movement, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has established a new Elders Advisory Council.
This Council shall sit immediately below the Supreme Leader and above the Directorate of State (DOS) in the hierarchy of the Indigenous People of Biafra. It shall provide wise counsel, strategic guidance, institutional memory, and unwavering support to both the Supreme Leader and the newly inaugurated 4th Administration of the Directorate of State.
DIRECTIVE TO ALL OFFICERS
All Coordinators, Principal Officers, Unit Heads, and functionaries of the Indigenous People of Biafra worldwide are hereby directed to immediately establish contact with the IPOB World Headquarters in Langerfeld, Germany, for further directives and administrative guidance.
Furthermore, every officer previously appointed by Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is hereby restored to his or her former position with immediate effect, pending any further administrative review by the newly inaugurated Directorate of State.
All previous suspensions and expulsions are hereby set aside and affected individuals fully reintegrated into the family.
IMPORTANT NOTICE ON MEDIA PLATFORMS
Until the ongoing recovery process is concluded, all Biafrans and supporters are advised to rely exclusively on Biafra Radio and Biafran Vanguardfor official communications, verified information, and authentic updates relating to the Indigenous People of Biafra.
Legal and administrative measures are already underway to recover Radio Biafra and restore it to its original purpose as a trusted platform dedicated to the Biafra restoration project.

FROM MOST TRUSTED TO MOST FOOLISH.
The Appeal Court did not discharge Mazi Nnamdi Kanu based on your incompetent handling of the case, Ifeanyi Ejiofor @EjioforBar . You lack elementary legal knowledge. How did you ever become MNK’s lawyer?
You told your followers that the prosecution's cross-appeal seeks the death penalty by hanging. Yet, you hid the fact that the prosecution actually argued the trial judge lacked jurisdiction. The judge imposed a life sentence, which is not the mandatory penalty prescribed by the National Assembly.
You are an unreliable half-baked lawyer who cannot read or comprehend Nigerian law books. Go back to your real estate agency work processing Certificates of Occupancy.
Leave the practice of law to those who actually understand it.
It was during the trial of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu that the Federal Government initially requested the ‘death’ penalty & it failed. Now, they carried it to the Court of Appeal; it shall also fail. So, the faithful should relax. But those happy about it should claim it as their portion.
The Propaganda Lie Is Crushed
There is no “foregone conclusion.” The FG’s desperate demand for death has handed the CoA and the world the perfect weapon for total victory. The CoA will not rescue the prosecution from the wreckage of its own pleadings.
To the people of Biafra, the South East, Middle Belt, Yoruba allies, and all freedom-loving Nigerians and international observers:
This Cross-Appeal is the beginning of the end of this monumental persecution. Remain resolute. Maintain non-violent discipline. The noose the oppressors prepared for Kanu is now strangling their own case.
The Judiciary will vindicate the rule of law.
The struggle continues until total freedom and self-determination.

FG’S CROSS-APPEAL DEMANDING DEATH FOR MAZI NNAMDI KANU IS A JURISDICTIONAL SUICIDE BOMB — NOT A FOREGONE CONCLUSION
The Federal Government and its propaganda agents are desperately pushing the lie that their Cross-Appeal demanding the death penalty for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu means the conviction is ironclad and the Court of Appeal (CoA) must simply affirm it and vary the sentence to death. This is pure falsehood and must be eviscerated with the raw force of the law and the FG’s own words.
The job of the Court of Appeal is NOT to "rectify" or cure an absence of jurisdiction in the lower Court. Its sacred duty is to validate or nullify the proceedings/judgment based on the law — nothing more.
The Fulcrum: FG’s Own Damning Admission
In their Cross-Appeal (Notice of Cross-Appeal, Grounds of Appeal, page 1363), the Federal Government explicitly pleads:
“The learned trial Judge acted without jurisdiction when he imposed a sentence of life imprisonment…”
They further assert that the offences carry a mandatory sentence under Section 1(2)(H) of the Terrorism (Prevention) (Amendment) Act, 2013, with zero discretion vested in Hon. Justice J.K. Omotosho, rendering the life sentence illegal, null, void, and liable to be set aside ex debito justitiae.
This is not clever advocacy. This is legal suicide — a binding admission against interest made by the prosecution itself.
Core Principle: Nullity, Not Rectification (Madukolu v. Nkemdilim)
Absence of jurisdiction is fatal and extrinsic to the adjudication. Proceedings conducted without jurisdiction are a nullity ab initio — no matter how well conducted, how brilliant the judgment, or how fair the hearing appeared. The defect cannot be cured or rectified on appeal.
The Court of Appeal (and Supreme Court) does not have the power to breathe life into a fundamentally incompetent proceeding by "fixing" the jurisdictional defect. Instead:
It declares the proceedings/judgment a nullity.
It sets aside the entire decision (conviction and sentence).
It strikes out the matter or makes consequential orders consistent with nullity.
This is the immortal principle in Madukolu v. Nkemdilim (1962): Any defect in competence renders proceedings a nullity. Appellate courts have no jurisdiction to entertain an appeal on the merits if the lower court lacked jurisdiction — the entire process is void. Once the CoA determines lack of jurisdiction below, its role ends with nullification. It does not "rectify," amend, or substitute a valid process where none existed.
Application to the Cross-Appeal: Total Annihilation
The FG’s own words — “acted without jurisdiction” — are the fulcrum that destroys their case. The Cross-Appeal is distinct, yet its poisonous concession infects the entire judgment. A Court that lacked power to impose life imprisonment (as FG admits) equally lacked power to convict. The adjudicative continuum is indivisible.
The CoA cannot use this jurisdictionally defective sentencing process to impose death or validate life imprisonment. It must strike down the sentencing exercise — and by extension, the conviction — as a nullity. The FG cannot approbate and reprobate. They cannot declare the trial Court incompetent while begging the CoA to hang Mazi Nnamdi Kanu using that same void process.
This self-inflicted catastrophe powerfully reinforces every ground in Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s substantive Brief: jurisdictional collapse, fair hearing violations, corpus delicti failure, and constitutional nullity.
The Court of Appeal does not sit as a repair shop for defective trials. It sits to enforce constitutional and statutory limits on judicial power. Where jurisdiction was absent — as the FG itself now admits — the only honest outcome is nullification, leading to the quashing of the conviction and sentence in their entirety.
IPOB PRESS STATEMENT
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.

This man has endured what no ordinary man could survive. I, in turn, have endured what no ordinary woman could bear-carrying burdens I would have rejected even in my dreams.
Yet there came a moment of clarity, when I understood that our paths were forged for this very purpose: the battle for the restoration and transformation of our people.
On this day (19.12.2009), Mazi #NnamdiKanu was abducted in broad daylight, right before our square, on the very day of our supposed traditional marriage. Each time I remember that day, or whenever I see Ralph Uwazuruike, I am reminded of the depth of his treachery.
#NnamdiKanu was seized by Uwazuruike’s men. He was beaten, stripped, humiliated by urinating on him, and photographed naked. His only “crime” was opposing the exploitation of our people through the printing of so-called Biafran passports, motorcycle and vehicle plate numbers, and the proposal to print currency merely as a means of profiteering.
I will stop here for today.
But understand this: there are battles in which the only weapon you possess is time.
And in a little while, #NnamdiKanu will be free.
#FreeNnamdiKanu
#FreeNnamdiKanuNow
Do not forget to tune in to our discussion on Understanding Battles at 11pm Biafran time today.
