“If the Federal Government establishes a seaport in the East or even Rivers State, Lagos’ monopoly over Nigeria's economy will cøllapse. It will boost Nigeria's economy. That's why Nigeria needs good leadership.” — Billionaire Businessman, Cosmas Maduka
The voices rooting for MAZI NNAMDI KANU and demanding urgent justice for him are far greater than the ones defaming his name and seeking do him harm. In this timeless video, the Ambassadors for Self Determination & their American allies didn’t mince words for #FreeNnamdiKanu.
In this trending video, Mazi Igboayaka Igboayaka, President of Ohaneze Youth Council addressed a mixed range of issues concerning Ndigbo, including Dave Umahi versus Peter Obi, the 2027 elections, and the unjust imprisonment of MAZI NNAMDI KANU. His delivery is unique.
PRESS STATEMENT: 31st July 2026
SUBJECT: Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will not leave Sokoto without court order, because Sokoto sentencing is a core issue in his pending appeal
The Kanu Family Urges All Well-Meaning Persons to Respect the Legal Strategy and Not Undermine the Appeal
The Kanu family has observed persistent calls—both public and private—urging Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, to accept relocation from Sokoto Custodial Centre to Abuja, outside the judicial process. We consider it necessary to clarify the family's position and to caution against any course of action that could undermine the pending appeal before the Court of Appeal.
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu Is Appearing Pro Se Before the Court of Appeal
It is a matter of public record that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is appearing pro se (in person) before the Court of Appeal in the pending appeal against his conviction. He has demonstrated an extraordinary grasp of the legal issues, having personally argued and briefed multiple jurisdictional grounds that his legal team believes are among the most potent ever raised in a Nigerian criminal appeal.
Appearing pro se imposes a heightened duty on the court to ensure that his rights are protected and that he is not taken advantage of by the prosecution. It also means that any course of action that could be construed as abandoning a ground of appeal—such as voluntarily leaving Sokoto Custodial Centre—would be particularly damaging to his case. The Kanu family is committed to ensuring that his pro se status does not result in any inadvertent waiver of his constitutional rights.
The Sokoto Sentencing Is a Live Issue in the Pending Appeal
On 20 November 2025, Justice J.K. Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Abuja, convicted Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and sentenced him to life imprisonment. At page 118 of the judgment, the trial judge made a finding that our son "hates the North with a passion," and thereafter ordered that he serve his sentence at the Sokoto Custodial Centre—the seat of the Caliphate, the heart of the geographical North.
The legal team submits that the sequence of findings and orders gives rise to a compelling appearance of bias, and that this issue has been squarely placed before the Court of Appeal as a ground for setting aside the conviction. The Sokoto sentencing is not a mere administrative detail; it is a substantive ground of appeal that the legal team contends constitutes significant evidence in support of the appeal on judicial bias and fair hearing.
The Sokoto Sentencing Is a Crucial Plank of the Appeal
The law is well settled:
· Kenon v. Tekam—bias vitiates proceedings even without proof of actual prejudice; the appearance of bias is sufficient to nullify a trial.
· LPDC v. Fawehinmi—justice must not only be done but must be seen to be done.
· Alake v. State—where a judge imports facts not in evidence and bases a decision on them, he descends into the arena.
· Madu v. State—a conviction founded on facts not charged is a nullity.
The legal team contends that the Sokoto sentencing, standing alone and certainly when considered together with the other fourteen independent grounds of appeal, warrants setting aside the conviction. This issue has been fully briefed and is now awaiting determination by the Court of Appeal. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, appearing pro se, has personally argued these issues and will not allow any course of action that could undermine them.
The Matter Is Sub Judice—It Must Be Decided by the Court of Appeal
The sentencing to Sokoto Custodial Centre is a live issue in the appeal currently pending before the Court of Appeal. It has been argued, briefed, and is awaiting judicial determination. The Court of Appeal is the proper forum to decide whether the Sokoto sentencing was lawful, whether it constituted bias, and whether it should be quashed.
Cardinal John Onaiyekan stated emphatically that President Bola Tinubu's administration is bent on winning re-election by all means, following a high-stakes meeting between the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) and the President at the State House in Abuja.
One of the Bishops, on Arise News, said that even when the President was told how badly the ultra weak Nigerian economy is affecting the citizens, Tinubu openly disagreed with them and told them the economy was doing just fine. This is what his army of colonial handlers are feeding him daily.
The last time a meeting of this nature happened was when the Interparty Advisory Council went to the villa to break iftar Islamic fast with the president. One of the opposition party executives in attendance narrated the collective horror they felt when the president adamantly refused to even recognize their legitimate concerns on the integrity of the 2027 elections, given countless political gimmicks and shenanigans by this administration, starting from the suspicious electoral bill overall to the appointment of an APC loyalist as INEC chairman, etc.
The President was even quoted as saying that if certain parts of the country don’t vote for him, he will still win with the votes of whoever votes for him. That’s not a statement you’d expect to hear from someone who’s ready for a fair contest.
They came out of that meeting declaring that Tinubu is bent on winning by any means possible, whether anyone liked it or not, and that he would do anything to achieve this. These Catholic Bishops have now echoed same sentiments. Just wondering what other proof Nigerians need to understand that 2027 is critical turning point, a dangerous make or mar that’ll determine the survival and wellbeing of our individual and collective dignity as a species.

“We Were Happy When We Saw That a Man From Our Own Yoruba Land Became President. But What Has Happened? He Has K!lled Us With Hunger and Insecurity. Many Nigerians Are Homeless, Food Prices Are Sky-High, and We Can’t Even Afford Drinking Water. The Cost of Fuel and Transportation Has Become Unbearable. It Will Not Be Well With Anyone Who Sees the Truth and Refuses to Speak It. Look at Sanwo-Olu in Lagos, Busy Enjoying Himself While We’re Suffering. They Should Come and Arrest Me.” ~ Man Cries Out
What this young man said in this video is scary & shocking enough to trigger the attention of the authorities. It also bears a caution to the general public to be tactful when confronted with questionable law enforcement situations. Better yet, we just can’t continue this way.
Profiling of the highest order, within a country you’re told to accept as yours. You’ll not see any official repudiation or punishment for this. And there won’t be any “summoning” by either IG or AIG because the victim is Igbo.
Keep up with it. You’ll soon find out what happens when a man is backed up against the wall.
BREAKING: US Congressman John James moves a motion on the floor of US Congress for the immediate release of MAZI NNAMDI KANU. Kudos to DOS, AVID, Ambassadors for Self Determination & Rising Sun for a job well done in record time, and in the open for the whole world to see.
While a U.S. senator is publicly calling out Tinubu, the APC government is busy promoting fake Trump appreciation letter whose authenticity has been questioned. Nigerians, can you see the contrast?
@MaziKanuntaKanu Killing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu won't STOP MARGINALISATION and AGITATION. General Yakubu Gowon tried it between 1967–1970 but it failed tilled date. Justice demands Nnamdi Kanu's UNCONDITIONAL release and development, equity in the Eastern region of Nigeria:

Mr. Chigozie Nnabugwu, by demanding the death of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as a condition for peace in the Southeast, you have effectively called for the destruction of the Igbo people. May you pray that the gods of Ala Igbo protect you, so that your name is not remembered in history alongside Judas Iscariot.
