Igboho’s launch of Iru Ekun Security Network yesterday in Ogun State which drew more than 15K members underscores the grave injustice in the proscription of IPOB/ESN & validates the urgent need for TINUBU to reverse BUHARI’s legacy of discriminatory law enforcement in Southeast.

OPEN LETTER TO THE NIGERIAN BAR ASSOCIATION

PART II OF III

THE SIX FATAL ERRORS OF THE SUPREME COURT — AND THE QUESTION THEY REFUSED TO ANSWER

By Christopher Chidera, Esq.
26 August 2026

On 15 December 2023, the Supreme Court ordered the “continuation” of Nnamdi Kanu's trial.

That order rests on six fundamental legal errors. The consequences of those errors reached the trial that followed and the conviction entered by Justice Omotosho.

Here they are.

ERROR ONE: THE “EXTANT LAW” FALLACY

What the Supreme Court did

Lawal Garba JSC called the Terrorism Prevention Act 2013 “extant and existing law” on 15 December 2023.

That Pronouncement is a fatal flaw

That Act had been repealed on 12 May 2022 by section 98 of the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act 2022.

SECTION 122 REQUIRED THE COURT TO KNOW BOTH THE LAW AND ITS REPEAL

Section 122 of the Evidence Act says the Court shall take judicial notice of laws having the force of law “now or previously in force” in Nigeria.

The Court is required to know both the living law and the dead law.

Justice Lawal Garba JSC himself demonstrated this duty in the very judgment. He went to the statute book, discovered that the Criminal Code cited in Count 15 as Cap C45 was actually Cap C38, and corrected the citation.

That same statutory duty required the Court to know that the 2013 Terrorism Act had been repealed in 2022.

Section 122 does not permit a court to know that an Act existed yesterday and then pretend that the same Act remains the law today.

Yet the Court called the repealed 2013 Act “extant and existing law” in December 2023.

The Court was required to know.

It knew how to read the statute book.

It corrected Cap C45 to Cap C38.

It therefore cannot claim that the statute book was invisible when it came to the repeal of the 2013 Terrorism Act.

In Ogwueche v FRN, the Supreme Court stated that courts are empowered to take judicial notice of Nigerian laws and “give effect to existing statutes whether cited by counsel or not.”

The duty was not optional.

The consequence

The Court built its reasoning on a legal corpse.

A repealed Act does not become extant because a judge calls it extant.

The crucial question was therefore not whether the 2013 Act once existed.

It did.

The question was:

WHAT LAW KEPT THE PROCEEDING ALIVE AFTER THAT ACT WAS REPEALED?

That question leads directly to section 97 of the TPPA 2022.

And that is the question Part III will confront.

ERROR TWO: “CONTINUATION” VERSUS “RETRIAL” — THE PROCEDURAL FRAUD

What the Supreme Court did

It ordered “continuation” — language suggesting that the original proceeding remained alive.

The fatal flaw

On 13 October 2022, the Court of Appeal did not merely adjourn the case.

It:

discharged the accused;
quashed the charges;
and held that the courts had been divested of jurisdiction on the basis of the African Charter Act.
That was a final appellate disposition.

The Supreme Court subsequently set that judgment aside.

But setting aside the Court of Appeal judgment does not answer the separate question:

WHAT WAS THE LEGAL STATUS OF THE QUASHED COUNTS AFTER THAT SETTING-ASIDE?

Section 36(9) of the Constitution expressly contemplates the possibility of a superior court ordering another trial.

The Supreme Court did not say “retrial.”

It said “continuation.”

That distinction matters.

If the first proceeding had legally ended, then a continuation cannot simply pretend that it never ended.

The consequence

You cannot continue what has ceased to exist unless the law provides the mechanism by which it is brought back into existence.

The Supreme Court had to identify that mechanism.

It did not.

That missing bridge is the central question of this entire case.

ERROR THREE: THE AFRICAN CHARTER — THE ELEPHANT IN THE COURTROOM

What the Supreme Court did.

Not just MAZI NNAMDI KANU, but Igbos as a whole cannot say what these people are saying and go scot-free. That’s the Igbo problem in Nigeria that makes it very tough for Igbos to be Nigerians.

BREAKING: The Ondo State Police Command has arrested officers captured in a viral video where one of the officers said he would have slapped & detained the motorist if he was IGBO. The officers are: ASP Elomore Sodayo, Inspector Adefila Adewale, Inspector Olorunfemi Opeyemi & Inspector Odusola Peter.

Addressing journalists on the incident on Friday, the Ondo State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abayomi Jimoh, said the erring personnel have been identified and arrested.

“Consequently, the Commissioner of Police, CP Felix Ohagwu, psc, mnips, mspsp, has ordered a comprehensive investigation to unravel the circumstances surrounding the incident and determine the level of culpability of each officer involved,” he said

The circulating footage of the incident had sparked widespread anger across the country with several Nigerians calling for the arrest and prosecution of the officers.

Below is a transcript of notes MAZI NNAMDI KANU had made when he held that crucial meeting with Southeast Governors in August 2017. A meeting that could’ve positively changed the course of history if Buhari had not resorted to the infamous Python Dance. Now, read on:

“I asked them for a seaport in Igbo land. They said no, but they could pay my family ₦300 million every month.

They are not after me, Nnamdi Kanu. They are after you—the ordinary Igbo people. I just happen to be standing in their way.

I also asked for an international airport and a seaport in Igbo land. They said that if those were granted, the region would develop beyond Lagos. Instead, they offered me an additional ₦5 billion to keep quiet.

I asked for equal rights and for Nigeria to treat the Igbo people fairly. They said they would ‘try their best.’ Trying your best to see my people as equal citizens of one Nigeria is laughable.

I then said, ‘Fine, let my people have a referendum so they can choose whether to stay or leave.’

The freedom of my people is the reason I was born.”

UPDATE: We’re informed that the security operatives who arrested Prof Martin Aghaji (#MNK’s personal physician) stormed his residence at about 3:00am, violently pulled down his gate & forcibly gained entry. During the commotion, shots were fired. They’ve now taken him to Lagos.

The Strategic Importance of Institutionalizing IPOB for Engagement with International Organizations https://t.co/UNuPhU1bHm

In a detailed strategic analysis, experts and advocates emphasize that transforming the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) into a fully institutionalized organization with formal governance, a constitution, transparent structures, financial accountability, and collective leadership, is essential for effective interaction with international bodies such as the United Nations (UN), African Union (AU), European Union (EU), and others.

This report highlights how institutionalization builds legitimacy, opens doors for formal petitions, observer status, alliances, and human rights reporting, while helping counter Nigeria’s 2017 terrorist designation through demonstrated commitment to peaceful, rule-based advocacy. It also ensures leadership continuity and adaptability amid challenges like Nnamdi Kanu’s ongoing detention and 2025 conviction.

“Repositioning IPOB as a robust institution is essential for unlocking the full potential of international engagement,” the analysis concludes, positioning the move as a pragmatic step toward credible dialogue, respect in multilateral forums, and long-term advancement of self-determination and justice goals.

IPOB Ghana Chapter Issues Strong Rebuttal Against Nnamdi Kanu’s Alleged Dissolution of Directorate of State https://t.co/D2XWgqptQm

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Ghana has strongly rejected Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s recent announcement dissolving the Directorate of State (DOS) and inaugurating a administration led by Mazi Chris Nwaogu.

In an official External Memo dated 19th June 2026, signed by National Coordinator Mazi Uyi Edos, IPOB Ghana declared that it does not recognize any “Supreme Leader” position and affirmed that no individual, including Kanu, has the unilateral authority to dissolve the DOS the apex administrative organ of the movement.

The chapter reiterated its recognition of the leadership of Mazi Chikadibia Edoziem as Head of the Directorate of State and urged all Biafrans to rely only on official channels: Radio Biafra, Biafra Television, and memos signed by Edoziem or DOS Press Secretary Dr. C. Okadigbo.

IPOB Homeland Leadership Issues Powerful Memo: “IPOB is an Institution Controlled by Leaders, Not Individuals”
https://t.co/EopwpvAFlT

In a bold, and uncompromising stand, the Homeland Leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has released a powerful memo that completely crushes the “laughable junk” and desperate propaganda being spread by "Nigerian government agents", including the fake “Dissolution of DOS” circulating on Igbere TV.

It issues a stern warning to all: anyone attempting to impose leaders on IPOB or unilaterally dismiss others is acting as an enemy of the struggle. The movement has clearly outgrown the era where individuals sitting in comfort zones can arbitrarily appoint or remove leaders at will.

WEEKEND MUSINGS

THE SIEGE OF NIGERIA: HOW KIDNAPPINGS, KILLINGS, AND LAWLESSNESS ARE REDEFINING OUR NATIONAL REALITY

NIGERIA’S DARKEST HOUR: THE UNRELENTING MARCH OF TERROR AND THE COLLAPSE OF PUBLIC SAFETY

The frightening escalation of insecurity across Nigeria, perpetrated by jihadist terrorists and other violent criminal elements, has assumed proportions that can no longer be dismissed as isolated acts of criminality. From the North-Central to the South-West, from rural communities to major highways, kidnappings, killings, abductions, and violent attacks have become a recurring nightmare for ordinary citizens.

What should alarm every patriot is not merely the frequency of these attacks, but their growing sophistication, territorial spread, and apparent audacity. Communities across parts of Benue, Plateau, Niger, Kogi, Kwara, Ondo, and Oyo States continue to endure relentless assaults, while thousands of innocent Nigerians live under the constant fear of displacement, abduction, or death.

A few days ago, Nigerians were once again reminded of the gravity of the situation when concerns over marauding herdsmen obstructing movement around Abuja were reportedly described as a matter of national security by one of the most powerful Ministers in the Federal Cabinet. The inevitable question is this: if this is indeed a national security concern, why does a lasting solution still appear so elusive?

The painful truth is that hundreds of innocent citizens, including schoolchildren whose only offence was seeking an education, have at various times found themselves in captivity. Many are still being held captive to this day, while countless families remain trapped in anguish, uncertainty, and despair. Even more disturbing is the growing normalization of these tragedies. News that ought to provoke national outrage now barely survives a single news cycle.

Many Nigerians increasingly feel abandoned. The primary constitutional duty of every government is the protection of lives and property. Where citizens begin to doubt the capacity of the State to guarantee their safety, the foundations of public trust and national confidence become dangerously eroded.

The recent attacks across several states, the displacement of entire communities, and the persistent occupation of forests and ungoverned spaces by armed groups should concern every Nigerian, irrespective of ethnicity, religion, or political affiliation. This is no longer a regional problem; it is a national calamity.

It is time for citizens to lawfully organize, remain vigilant, strengthen community-based security structures permitted by law, support legitimate security efforts, and refuse to surrender their communities to fear and terror. As our security architecture comes under increasing strain, silence, denial, and complacency have become luxuries that the nation can no longer afford.

As I looked upon the heartbreaking image of these young and innocent children being subjected to the most horrific forms of inhuman and degrading treatment while held in jihadist captivity in the forests of Oyo State, one haunting question echoed repeatedly in my mind: What exactly was their crime? Was it simply that they sought an education in a country that could not guarantee their safety?

History will judge us harshly if we continue to normalize the abnormal, excuse the inexcusable, and tolerate the intolerable.

A nation that cannot protect its children risks forfeiting both its moral authority and its future.

There was truly a country.

The hour has come for decisive action, collective responsibility, and unwavering national resolve.
