In 1992, Babangida expelled Sowore from the University of Lagos (UNILAG).
In 1993, Abacha arrested Sowore.
In 1998, the Abdulsalami government arrested Sowore at the National University Games Association (NUGA) events in Lagos.
In 2006, Obasanjo and El-Rufai sued Sowore for interviewing Gbenga Obasanjo and exposing the third term agenda.
In 2007, the late Umaru Yar'Adua banned Sahara Reporters in Nigeria.
In 2014, Goodluck Jonathan's associate, Reno Omokri, attempted to file a lawsuit in the U.S. to bankrupt Sahara Reporters, but he could not proceed after receiving a threatening letter, as Jonathan lost the election in 2015.
In 2017, then Senate President Bukola Saraki sued Sowore, obtained a questionable judgment from the Kwara State High Court, and froze Sahara Reporters' accounts for a year.
In 2019, Buhari arrested Sowore and charged him with treason.
In 2023, Tinubu placed Sowore on the immigration watchlist.
In 2025, the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, arrested Sowore for cybercrime and seized his international passport.
Whether you like him or dislike him, Sowore is a significant force to reckon with. Apart from Fela Kuti, no Nigerian has endured so much at the hands of the government for standing up for what is right as Sowore."

Summary Critique of What Happened in Court on 23 October 2025
What happened before Justice Omotosho was another proof that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not being given justice but persecution.
1. Ignoring the Appeal Court’s Discharge
The Court of Appeal already discharged and acquitted Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in October 2022. The Supreme Court never set that discharge aside— it only said the case could be retried if the Government so wished.
It did not order his continued detention. Therefore, keeping him locked up since then is a clear act of contempt against the appellate judgment.
In law, a party in contempt is not entitled to be heard or benefit from the court until the contempt is purged.
As stated in Hadkinson v. Hadkinson (1952) 2 All ER 567, “a person in contempt cannot be heard until he obeys the order.” The DSS cannot disobey the Court of Appeal’s order of release and at the same time ask another court to try him.
2. Refusal to Hear Objection on Jurisdiction
In court, Kanu boldly told Justice Omotosho:
“I will not be tried under a repealed, dead law.”
He was right. The Terrorism (Prevention Amendment) Act 2013and CEMA 2004, under which he is being charged, were repealed by the Terrorism Prevention and Prohibition Act 2022. A repealed law cannot support a valid trial. Yet, the judge refused to hear his objection on jurisdiction, saying it would be taken after the trial. That position turns the law upside down — a court must first decide if it has jurisdiction before taking any other step. Otherwise, everything done becomes a nullity.
3. No Fair Hearing or Lawyer Access
Kanu told the court that his meetings with his lawyers are monitored and recorded by the DSS, which destroys the confidentiality guaranteed by Section 36 of the Constitution. Instead of addressing this violation, the judge dismissed it, saying Kanu’s only fair hearing was to “call his witnesses.” That is not how the law defines fair hearing — it starts with free access to counsel and an unbiased court, not with forced participation in a sham process.
4. Forged Medical Report
Kanu also complained that the medical report presented by the DSS was forged. Instead of ordering an investigation, the judge said he would stand by the report because it was once accepted by his former lawyer, Chief Kanu Agabi, SAN. That statement means the court knowingly chose to rely on a forged document. No court should ever condone forgery — it offends both justice and the judicial oath.
5. What It All Means
The 23 October 2025 hearing showed a pattern of bias and deliberate injustice:
The government remains in contempt but is still entertained.
The judge refused to decide whether the law even allows the trial.
The defendant’s right to counsel and fair hearing is trampled.
A forged report is brushed aside.
This is not a trial; it is persecution dressed up as procedure. Until the Government obeys the Court of Appeal order and releases Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, no court has moral or legal authority to continue this charade.
You cannot break the law and then ask the law to protect you.

BRIEF OF ORAL ARGUMENT ON VITIATING DEFECTS BY MAZI NNAMDI KANU. TODAY 23/10/2025
IN THE FEDERAL HIGH COURT OF NIGERIA
HOLDEN AT ABUJA
CHARGE NO: FHC/ABJ/CR/383/2015
BETWEEN:
FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA ............... Complainant/Respondent
AND
MAZI NNAMDI KANU .............. Defendant/Applicant
BRIEF OF ORAL ARGUMENT ON VITIATING DEFECTS
May it please this Honourable Court,
The Defendant respectfully submits, ex facie curiae, that there are four jurisdiction-vitiating defects manifest on the face of the record, which nullify these proceedings ab initio. Each of these defects is independently fatal; cumulatively, they render the entire trial incompetent and void.
1. CONTEMPT OF COURT AND THE DOCTRINE OF APPELLATE FINALITY
The Federal Government remains in flagrant contempt of a subsisting appellate judgment which discharged the Defendant. By the Doctrine of Appellate Finality, that order terminated the trial absolutely.
Until it was set aside by the Supreme Court (after fourteen months), it remained binding in praesenti and enforceable ex debito justitiae.
See Governor of Lagos State v. Ojukwu (1986) 1 NWLR (Pt.18) 621; Rossek v. ACB Ltd (1993) 8 NWLR (Pt.312) 382.
A contemnor cannot invoke the equitable discretion of a lower court while in continuing disobedience — ex turpi causa non oritur actio.
2. FAILURE TO TAKE JUDICIAL NOTICE OF STATUTORY REPEAL (S.122 EVIDENCE ACT)
By Section 122(1) of the Evidence Act 2011, the Court must take judicial notice of all Acts and repeals suo motu.
In NNPC v. Fawehinmi (1998) 7 NWLR (Pt.559) 598 (CA), applied and affirmed in A.G. Lagos State v. Dosunmu (1989) 3 NWLR (Pt.111) 552 (SC) and Uwaifo v. A.G. Bendel State (1982) 7 SC 124, it was held that proceedings conducted in ignorance of a statutory repeal are void ab initio.
Judicia debent esse perspicua — the Court must act by what the law is, not what it was.
Hence, ex facie legis, this trial is null.
3. DENIAL OF FAIR HEARING AND JUDICIAL PERVERSITY
The Defendant has been denied fair hearing under Section 36(6)(b)&(c) of the 1999 Constitution and Article 7(1)(c) of the African Charter.
After four years in solitary detention, he was permitted only three hours of monitored consultation with counsel in the courtroom on the eve of entering his defence in a capital case.
That is not fair hearing — it is judicial perversity.
See Olatunji v. FRN (2003) 10 NWLR (Pt.827) 436, Ezeugo v. Ohanyere (1978) 6–7 SC 171, and A.G. Federation v. Abubakar (2007) 10 NWLR (Pt.1041) 1.
A trial so conducted is per incuriam et contra constitutionem.
4. RELIANCE ON A FORGED MEDICAL REPORT
This Court’s ruling on the Defendant’s fitness to stand trial rests upon a forged medical report dated 23 September 2025, though the order directing the NMA to examine him was made on 26 September 2025.
Res ipsa loquitur. No such examination ever occurred.
Reliance on that fraudulent document vitiates the ruling.
See Macfoy v. UAC (1962) AC 152; Alao v. ACB Ltd (2000) 9 NWLR (Pt.672) 264 — fraus omnia corrumpit.
CONCLUSION AND PRAYER
These four defects — contempt of appellate authority, failure to take judicial notice of repeal, denial of fair hearing, and reliance on forgery — are all ex facie recordi and strike at the root of jurisdiction.
By Madukolu v. Nkemdilim (1962) 2 SCNLR 341, where any condition precedent to jurisdiction is absent, the entire proceedings are a nullity.
We therefore urge this Honourable Court, ex debito justitiae, to declare these proceedings void and to terminate the trial forthwith in obedience to the rule of law.

If you're emotionally driven, stay off this post because the probability is, you are never going to comprehend the enormity of the first screenshot attached here and the exposition am about to give.
This person isn't just a random social media trolls, I picked this up because behind that veil, you wouldn't want to know whom he is.
I make bold to say to you that for the moment, nobody is genuinely fighting or representing the good interests of Biafrans.
The detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa was what our enemies needed to clip our wings and having succeeded in locking them up, they ended up leaving the Biafra agitation now operating on AUTOPILOT until either both men regains their freedom or someone as bold and fearless as Kanu and Simon Ekpa rises up to fill the gap.
But, this moment, Biafra agitation has lost firebrand and dedicated leadership.
DOS sold out long time ago...
Ogechukwu Nkere is already doing his mission so they won't send him back to jail...
As for Ngozi Orabueze, hear the truth, initially she didn't sold out and I still don't believe she is but the fact is, she's not equal to the task of leading this agitation. She was never prepared.. Rather she was used as an instrument to avert the catastrophe that was about to hit Biafra agitation in Finland during that Biafra ReDeclaration Conference in Lahti Finland. She was just part of the delegates that went to declare Biafra. So when the enemies succeeded in taking Simon away all because they wanted that conference to never hold but still there plan B was, if they end up locking up Simon so he won't be around to declare Biafra, there might be a probability for that conference to be postponed indefinitely.. But, if Simon's executives decide to go on with that conference as planned, then they'd use their covert agent Ogechukwu Nkere and some other sleeper cells to disrupt that conference thereby leaving a very indelible strain on Biafra agitation on global record.
The plan of Ọge Nkere and his enablers was to make sure that conference never took place and if they went ahead to host it, on that scheduled date December 2, 2024, as Simon's Chief of Staff which was Ngozi Orabueze mount that podium on behalf of Simon Ekpa to finally pronounce the sovereignty of Biafra nation, Ogechukwu Nkere and other sleeper cells will start arguing loudly trying to create a diversion of attention from Orabueze and when the noise persist and Ngọzi still reading the proclamation, one of the sleeper cell will rush to that podium to attack her with an excuse that she doesn't have the right to declare Biafra and then those other sleeper cells in the crowd would begin fighting in that hall and another agent would secretly place an 911 call to the Finnish authorities and within minutes, Finnish security agencies would storm that event hall and chase away the delegates and put in cuffs Ngọzi Orabueze and some of the suspects who fought in that event center.
Now, imagine such a chaotic situation, it will trend globally and right there, Biafra's reputation will be one to leave resentment in the hearts of global communities.
Even when Simon was detained, he reached out to his BRGIE executives to let them know that they have the power to either proceed with the redeclaration conference or postpone it indefinitely And Ogechukwu Nkere, Bryson Okeoma and his wife Chioma Okeoma, Emma Maduabum all insisted the conference be postponed indefinitely but Ngọzi and some other BRGIE executives insisted the conference must go on as planned. Chioma Okeoma who was in charge of collecting Data for that Biafra self Digital référendum which millions of Biafrans voted YES to Biafra, when she was asked to forward that data to Ngọzi, she began giving excuses so they could delay the conference knowing that without that data and compilation of Biafra Grievances, that conference would lack foothold. So when Ngọzi noticed that move, she knew some forces are at work to stop the conference hence she insisted the conference must go as planned.
Now, when Oge Nkere realized that Ngozi was head strong on proceeding with that conference, he then wanted to starve the event planning of funds. Being the finance minister, he put a call across 5o Ngọzi demanding for the money in the mandate account be transferred to the main account which he was in charge, the excuse was that he wanted to send funds to the men on ground through Mr. Success but the money in the account was too small. So Ngọzi called an emergency meeting so approval can be generally given to send funds to Ọge Nkere. Oge Nkere pressed for faster action.. Then in that meeting, they remembered they haven't paid the event hall fee and one of the executive indicated to send $5k to Mazi Uche the European Rep in Finland so he can pay for that event hall, she went to the bank and transferred the $5k. It was when Ngọzi was about to finally move the funds in the mandate account to Ọge Nkere that it struck on her that another executive could access the account under the finance minister Ọge Nkere, she immediately told the lady to check how much was left in that account under the care of Ogechukwu Nkere, when she checked, lo and behold, $60k plus was discovered in that same account Ọge Nkere said there was no sufficient funds to send to the men on ground. Everyone was shocked and there Ngọzi made up her mind that in the midst of this plot that conference must hold. When Chioma Okeoma heard about it, she screamed at Orabueze "You don't have any right or mandate to declare Biafra.. But then, Ngozi's mind was already made and she opted to take them by surprise. While they were scheming ahead December 2nd which was the official date, Ngọzi took them by surprise by declaring Biafra sovereignty on November 29th which left them shocked and confused hence Ogechukwu Nkere mounted the stage to rage as to why Ngozi boycotted the agreed date. Go and watch that video. It is still on the internet.
Now, when the real enemies that sent Ogechukwu Nkere discovered that Ngozi has foiled their agenda, they knew that Ngozi was going to be another stumbling block to them. So they moved on Ngọzi thereby pressuring her with threat to either work on their dictates or risk going to jail or extradition like Kanu. Ngozi was in possession of that redeclaration certificate so they knew with that certificate in her possession, she held the real mandate to negotiate for Biafra global acceptance. So they sort for a means to have her hand over that certificate and other documents to them. When Ngozi insisted, they now sued her to court. Remember when news broke that Simon Ekpa sues Ngozi Orabueze for seizing IPOB members data.. Google it. That lawsuit is still ongoing.
When Simon learnt about that lawsuit against Ngozi Orabueze, he sent an immediate cease and desist to Ọge Nkere. The order was for him and his so called BRGIE executives to withdraw that suit but when Oge realized that Simon has disapproved that lawsuit, he quickly ran and changed the name of the litigant from Simon Ekpa to BRGIE executives.. So they insisted that the lawsuit must proceed because they want Ngozi to hand over those documents knowing that when court rules in their favor and Ngọzi refuses to hand over the documents, court would then issue a bench warrant and have her thrown into prison which to be frankly speaking, Ngọzi I don't think she's willing to go to jail. She might end up handing over that documents to Ọge Nkere and his handlers and when that is done, kiss Biafra agitation good bye for now because it would be entirely hijacked.
So, as it stands right now, Ngozi can't act fearlessly like Kanu or Simon Ekpa did which has left her incompetent. She's been pressured. She can't do much that's why all her threats and actions can only be found on social media especially X. She'd use her x account to issue threats but in reality, she's powerless as men on ground have been infiltrated and gagged already. Remember Butuzor, Holy Ghost, Gentle De-Yahoo, Butuzor and Angel Make-up.. These brave men have all been eliminated except Butuzor but report am getting indicates that Butuzor has allegedly been eliminated. These men were all poisoned in a meeting Ọge Nkere initiated with them and Hope Uzodimma.
As we speak, Ngozi wings have been gagged. She can't fly as high as Simon Ekpa or Kanu, any attempt, jail which Ngozi herself don't want to risk such a chance because of her family in the US. Ngozi doesn't want to risk her licence and job.. So both Ọge Nkere and Ngozi Orabueze are being watched. Ọge Nkere is doing his mission so they don't throw him to prison. Ngozi can't act so she doesn't end up in jail also. DOS we know is already far gone in collecting doggy style from their boyfriend (Britain and Fulani controlled Federal government of Nigeria).
In fact, now is the time for us to start using the word "AUTOPILOT" because that's now the force driving our agitation. We no longer have bold and fearless Biafra leaders ready to return same fire and panic which Kanu and Simon gave the enemies.
But in the end, Kanu's prophecy about Biafra restoration being the last miracle on planet earth will be fulfilled. In the midst of this global conspiracy against the restoration of Biafra, we must surely be free. Kanu might not be around as they are planning to systematically torture him by denying him right to proper medical care. Or soon, hand him a life or death sentence. To Simon, Finland decided to give him a low term jail sentence to make it look like they have punished Simon but the real plot is, use low jail term to prove they have played their part in this global conspiracy. Then the Nigeria government now filing a post-sentence extradition process, they want to extradite Simon back to Nigeria so he can serve his jail term in Nigeria and you know that's a decoy to their already plot. Should Simon be extradited back to Nigeria, it won't funny with him and you know that.
So, I didn't post this to discourage you rather to inform you to brace up because the real battle has just begun.. As Biafra agitation no longer have strong representatives but you can decide to let them win by sitting on the fence. If you are on media like me, pick up your pen, write, post, share amplify every of the atrocities they have been subjecting us to. Hope on YouTube, X. Facebook, Instagram, Tik-Tok etc keep exposing the plot of our enemies. Stand in the gap for Kanu and Simon Ekpa and most importantly, Biafra. Don't let them win. They twisted and told our story back then when they committed génocide against us in 1967-70 simply because there were no social media back then but not anymore. This generation, a lot can be achieved via social media. Don't underrate social media. Don't get discouraged because when you post, you don't get much reactions like share, like and comment, most people chose to only read and waka pass because they know the global beast are pinned on your wall watching. So by commenting, they feel unsafe as to being trailed but if you are fearless as me, don't give up, keep the fire burning as sooner than later, our victory must be proclaimed. Just like the. Phoenix from the ashes, Biafra restoration will rise. The sun must certainly rise to the shame and defeat of those who want igbo race annihilated and into extinction.
Over and out!
We must continue. It is either Biafra or Biafra.
Yours warrior in the battlefield;

BETRAYED BY STRATEGY, THE COST OF SILENCING A PROTECTOR.
By Maazi Victor Obinna Uzoaga
Writer/Analyst
X@MaziVictor_U
You have been thoroughly deceived by the politicians from the South East region when they convinced you that the liberation of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu represented the sole solution to halting the chaotic actions they attributed to Simon Ekpa's mindset.
Almost every prominent political figure from the South East raised their voices in unison, pleading desperately with President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to set Kanu free, insisting that this act alone would put an end to the turmoil caused by Simon Ekpa.
I vividly recall how certain lawmakers rushed to the Senate chambers, passionately presenting arguments about how granting Kanu his freedom would completely eradicate any influence or harmful reach that Simon might have. Among them was Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, who stood boldly before the Senate President to deliver such a fervent plea.
However,
What these leaders deliberately concealed from you was the exact opposite truth. In reality, Simon Ekpa held the crucial power to break every shackle and barrier imprisoning Kanu.
It escaped the notice of so many among you that if the South East possessed a single individual with unyielding courage and audacity, capable of contorting the tyrannical grip of the Nigerian government to such an extreme degree that they would cry out in desperation, "Enough! Please cease! Very well, take your Nnamdi Kanu and go," then true change could occur.
Indeed, Simon embodied precisely that role. The adversaries recognized that in Simon, they had encountered a fiercely retaliatory Igbo man who matched their aggression with equal force. This is no overstatement. Simon functioned like a relentless tse-tse fly that had latched onto their most vulnerable areas. As he injected his disruptive influence and drained their remaining vitality, they found themselves trapped in a dilemma: striking him down would cause them excruciating selfinflicted pain, while allowing him to persist meant ongoing suffering, but the only way to dislodge him entirely was to release Kanu and witness him depart swiftly. Everyone in power understood this dynamic, and deep down, you did as well.
Outcries of frustration echoed from various corners as the Nigerian government, represented by its Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, openly blamed the international community, particularly the Finnish government and the European Union, for harboring Simon Ekpa. This accusation came in June 2024 during an interview on Channels Television, where Musa claimed these bodies were safeguarding Ekpa from capture, even though he was allegedly inciting unrest in southeastern Nigeria through social media directives, such as enforced sit-at-home mandates that sparked violence. He called for diplomatic pressure to resolve the issue, emphasizing that Ekpa's actions had caused numerous fatalities without any global response.
As Musa voiced these complaints, the South East politicians and organizations like Ohanaeze Ndigbo transformed into desperate supplicants, imploring Tinubu to liberate Kanu as the means to neutralize Simon.
Many of them frequented the Department of State Services facilities, where they portrayed Simon as a monstrous threat to Kanu himself. They exerted immense pressure to compel Kanu to denounce Simon publicly. Ifeanyi Ejiofor stood out as a leading figure among those who sought to keep Kanu incarcerated; after failing to secure Kanu's outright condemnation of Simon, Ejiofor appeared on various media platforms, including Arise tv and Channels Television, exhorting the people of the South East to disregard Simon entirely.
Simon stated his position unequivocally: If you genuinely desire to halt my efforts or engage in any negotiations with me, the initial step must be to free Kanu. Permit him to speak directly to the Biafran people, whether from his ancestral residence in Afaraukwu Ibeku Umuahia or by transporting him to Finland for a global address to Biafrans everywhere. This condition served as his sole remedy if they viewed him as a toxic threat.
All parties recognized that Simon represented Kanu's primary leverage for achieving freedom. Even Kanu himself understood that without Simon's persistent pressure, he would languish in detention for additional years. Consequently, despite intense attempts to coerce him into verbally rejecting Simon, Kanu resisted their manipulations. Instead, through a written directive, he instructed the IPOB Nigeria Directorate of State and their misguided online supporters to cease their assaults on Simon and to ignore him altogether. Yet, the IPOB Nigeria Directorate of State disregarded this and continued deploying their vicious media attackers, such as Chika Austine, Patrick Ikem Chronicle and Elochukwu Ohagi Official , against Simon.
Kanu emphasized that if he were released at this very instant, even three minutes would exceed the time required for him to reinstate the peace that the government claimed to seek in the South East. Nevertheless, they paid no heed. Kanu did not hold the power to restrain Simon; rather, Simon alone possessed the ability to shatter Kanu's bonds. Far too many of you overlooked this fundamental truth.
Demands, formal complaints, and demonstrations surged forth, insisting on Simon's apprehension and repatriation. Bianca Ojukwu was strategically selected and manipulated as a compliant instrument by the oppressors, not to silence Simon directly, but to further entrench Kanu's imprisonment. They orchestrated this to mislead you into thinking her petition aimed at incarcerating Simon, when in truth, it served to prolong Kanu's captivity.
Regrettably, they achieved their goal of imprisoning Simon. Now, the Nigerian government no longer fears any resistance from the South East, leading them to abandon any intentions of freeing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
You perceived Simon Ekpa as a disruptive agitator, but it never dawned on you that every family requires such a resolute and unyielding member to be truly whole and protected. Without that defiant individual, the family becomes vulnerable to exploitation by foes, as adversaries will advance without restraint. In contrast, when a family includes someone prepared to counter madness with equal intensity, enemies proceed with utmost caution, knowing their aggression will be met in kind. By surrendering Simon Ekpa, you have emboldened your adversaries, who now taunt you openly, confident that you pose no threat, having removed the singular barrier they dreaded: Mazi Simon Ekpa and his unyielding confrontations against the state's uniformed agents of terror.
All of you must fervently hope that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu does not perish or receive a severe sentence. Should he meet a suspicious end while in custody, or if the system twists justice to impose a brutal verdict upon him, the majority of Igbo people may find themselves permanently barred from returning to their ancestral lands. Moreover, the longer Mazi Nnamdi Kanu endures in that grim confinement, the more profound the suffering and despair will become for lives throughout the South East.
Nevertheless, congratulations are in order; you have outmaneuvered yourselves, particularly the IPOB Nigeria Directorate of State and the supporters of the Obidient movement. Prepare your shelters and pray that the storm never arrives.
Today, to revive the hope of peace for the Palestinians and Israelis, and a two state solution, the United Kingdom formally recognises the State of Palestine.
