Justice James Amatosho of the Federal
0:02
High Court sitting in Abuja on Friday
0:04
ruled that the detained Bafra agitation
0:07
leader Nami Kanu has case to answer
0:10
because the Nigeria government
0:11
prosecution team have provided some
0:14
evidence that requires explanations from
0:16
the detained Bafra leader. This the
0:19
coordinating lawyer to Nambdi Kanu.
0:21
Barrister Aloy lawyer Gi Mccor said the
0:23
judgment of the court does not mean
0:25
Nambdi Kanu has been pronounced guilty.
0:28
Rather the ruling indicated that he
0:30
should give explanations to certain
0:32
evidences the federal government of
0:34
Nigeria brought before the court. It
0:36
would be recalled that the ruling on the
0:38
no case submission filed by Nambi Carano
0:41
that was earlier slated to be held on
0:43
October 10th, 2025 was abridged and
0:46
rescheduled to Friday the 26th of
0:48
September 2025.
0:51
Justice James Omatosho also rejected
0:53
request by Caro to be transferred from
0:55
custody of the Department of State
0:57
Services DSS to the National Hospital
1:00
Abuja for medical examination over
1:02
alleged deteriorating health issues. The
1:05
court subsequently ordered the president
1:07
of Nigerian Medical Association NMA to
1:10
constitute an investigation committee to
1:13
examine Carnu's medical condition and
1:15
submit a report to it in 8 days
1:17
following objection by DSS to his
1:19
request to be transferred to National
1:21
Hospital for second opinion on his
1:23
health condition. We had earlier in the
1:26
year reported that the case between the
1:28
federal government of Nigeria and the
1:30
detained leader of the indigenous people
1:32
of Bafrae Nami Kanu apparently took a
1:35
new technical twist after one of the
1:36
lawyers of the detained Bafra leader
1:39
Paul Ericoro San presented and played
1:42
three videos which the Federal High
1:44
Court sitting in Abuja later admitted in
1:47
evidence. the videos of former Nigeria
1:49
chief of army staff retired General
1:52
Theophilus Danjuma saying security
1:54
operatives in the West Africa country
1:57
specifically the armed forces are
1:59
working together with the armed bandits
2:01
to kill Nigerians stressing that if
2:04
Nigerians depend on the armed forces to
2:06
curb insecurity they will all die one by
2:09
one also that of Governor Hope of Imho
2:12
state saying politicians are behind
2:15
killings in the state lastly in The most
2:18
interesting video play that the court to
2:20
counter the testimony or statement made
2:22
by the DSS prosecutor witness over
2:24
Nambdi Kanu led IPOB founding eastern
2:28
security network ESN allegedly created
2:31
by group of youths in the southeastern
2:33
geopolitical zone of Nigeria often
2:35
referred to as Bafra land to fight in
2:38
self-defense against fani armed bandits
2:41
or terrorists that were advancing and
2:43
killing people in the eastern state
2:45
during the era of President Muhammadu
2:47
Buhari was that of the director general
2:49
of the department of state services DSS
2:52
Adola Ajayi who is apparently the
2:55
government chief complainer in the case
2:57
and the DSSDG in the video recorded and
3:00
published by Symphony News Media in
3:02
February 2025 narrated how youths of the
3:06
Zar community in Katagum local
3:09
government area and Tafawa Blewa
3:11
community of Tafawa Blewa local
3:13
government area in Baoi state when the
3:16
DSSDG was the state director of state
3:18
security services SSS resorted to
3:22
self-help and killed all boohh haram
3:24
terrorists that came to attack them
3:26
without depending on the security
3:28
operatives according to the DSSDG when
3:31
booh haram terrorists invaded aar
3:33
community they started shooting and
3:35
killing people then the youths went
3:38
after the boohh haram terrorists and
3:40
killed all of them even when one of the
3:42
boohh haram terrorists named khaled
3:44
climbed a tree and started ed firing
3:47
gunshots from the tree towards the
3:48
people who were on the lower ground. The
3:51
Azar people resisted and went after him
3:53
and subsequently killed him. Although
3:55
the federal government prosecution
3:57
witness identified as BBB who is a DSS
4:00
operative stated that the ESN is an
4:04
illegal organization because there is no
4:06
approval of government given to the
4:07
people of Southeast to establish such a
4:10
self-help group to defend their land
4:12
against terrorists unlike a Motech and
4:14
security network in the southwest states
4:16
that was approved and permitted by the
4:18
government. also claiming his boss, the
4:21
DSSDG in the video, was asking
4:24
communities to build the first line of
4:26
defense by thus working with security
4:28
operatives. But a careful and detailed
4:31
study of the DSSDG speech in the video
4:34
shows that the FG witness BBB probably
4:37
talked off points totally off key from
4:39
the original intent and intention of Mr.
4:41
Adola Jay, the DSSDG teachings and
4:44
advice in the video who had said the
4:47
Azar community people acted in quick
4:49
response to an emergency situation. And
4:52
the story line indicated that the people
4:54
of Azare prepared themselves in advance
4:56
likely purchasing and acquiring firearms
4:59
equivalent to AK-47 riffles to be able
5:02
to face and kill all the Booh Haram
5:04
terrorists that invaded the community as
5:07
narrated by the DSSDG. And if true, the
5:10
DSSDG, the chief complainer, must also
5:13
be ordered to appear before the court as
5:15
a defender in the case to present a
5:17
certified true copy of government
5:19
approval given to Azare people to defend
5:22
themselves or prove beyond reasonable
5:24
doubts how the people of Azar community
5:26
were able to kill merely with the bare
5:29
hands all the booh haram terrorists that
5:31
invaded their community with high
5:33
precision weapons of mass destructions.
5:36
In addition, the DSSDG in the video
5:38
probably advocated for the need for all
5:41
individuals in Nigeria to have a gun
5:44
because he gave an example of a visit to
5:46
the United States of America, USA. When
5:50
his host in the US heard a police siren
5:52
sound, he quickly brought out his gun
5:54
and said if the criminal chased after by
5:57
the US police ran into his apartment, he
6:00
would use the gun to kill the criminal
6:02
suspect. And that not all. The DSSDG in
6:05
the video also recalled and referenced
6:07
the words of Nigeria former head of
6:09
state retired General Ibrahim Badamasi
6:12
Babingida that if insecurity must end in
6:15
Nigeria, Nigerians must be ready to
6:17
resort to self-help like the people of
6:20
Aar community did. The
6:22
ruling is simply uh it simply requires
6:24
Minanu the defendant to enter his
6:27
defense. It's not a pronunciation of
6:29
guilt or not guilty. So that is why it's
6:32
called a no case submission. So the
6:34
judge made a ruling that there's a
6:35
primary fier evidence that needs to be
6:38
explained. So in common paralance is for
6:41
it cause on him to come and mount his
6:43
own defense. But there is the other
6:45
aspect of the ruling that concerned
6:47
extraordinary rendition. That very one
6:50
is one that compounded us because the
6:53
extraordinary rendition of Minamano is
6:56
so open and notorious.
6:58
uh two international institutions or two
7:00
separate panels of of the United Nations
7:03
have made pronouncements regarding his
7:06
extraordinary relation and called for
7:07
his own additional release. Nigeria is a
7:10
member of the United Nations and
7:12
therefore bound to uh consider that and
7:15
implement that decision and in Nigeria
7:17
here
7:19
three courts have made similar
7:21
pronouncements. First was by the federal
7:23
high court Omar which awarded him 500
7:25
million merra and the court of appeal
7:28
also pronounced that he he was a a
7:31
victim of extraordinary rendition and in
7:33
the Supreme Court the same Supreme Court
7:35
that send this case back to trial
7:38
reached the same
7:41
conclusion that he was a a victim of a
7:44
condition and all these things are of
7:46
the record they all in the file and we
7:49
remember when this trial was being
7:52
conducted. These very documents were
7:54
attended in evidence. So it compounded
7:57
us. It confused us that the court now
7:59
made a pronouncement that this the
8:02
extraordinary relation had no evidence
8:05
uh before the court that no evidence of
8:06
it was submitted before the court. And
8:08
you remember least but not the last
8:11
recently a Kenyan high court made the
8:13
same pronouncement. But well if the
8:15
court was misled by believing uh by
8:19
mistake that these things were not in
8:21
the evidence it also said and left the
8:23
door open that such evidence be uh
8:26
submitted. So we are coming back with
8:28
that evidence and it's going to be
8:29
quantum and legion. So
8:31
what about the first application on the
8:32
um
8:34
well that one too uh it wasn't in
8:36
evidence that the Nigerian medical
8:39
association has intervened. So it came
8:41
as a surprise but there's a short date
8:44
given of eight days for the NMA to
8:46
submit it report. So somebody is ill,
8:48
somebody is ill. You know, I don't think
8:50
NA is going to change much of that. But
8:53
I think the judge wanted to leave the
8:55
record open to admit every possible
8:58
evidence regarding this matter. And but
9:00
meantime, we are disappointed. Our
9:02
client remains ill and remains detent
9:05
and we are not happy about that. His
9:07
situation requires an emergent care. So
9:10
whatever the court says today does not
9:12
mean that the government shall withdraw
9:14
back. Just two days ago, I wrote a
9:16
letter. A private hospital has also
9:20
expressed readiness to admit him here in
9:21
Abuja. For security reasons, I won't
9:24
mention the name of the private
9:25
hospital. But the government, if the
9:27
government appears to have issues with
9:29
taking him to the national hospital, we
9:31
have given them an option of a private
9:33
hospital also here in Abuja.
9:36
So it says to say that the um the uh
9:39
application to be transferred to the
9:41
national hospital was rejected.
9:42
Rejected? No, it's pending.
9:44
Yes.
9:45
One other information,
9:46
it hasn't been rejected. It's pending
9:49
pending the admission of this report
9:50
from the Nigerian Medical Association
9:52
and the opinion of Nigerian Medical
9:55
Association and you know if you were in
9:56
court the judge had ordered that the
9:59
committee or panel to be considered by
10:01
the Nigerian medical association shall
10:03
have a member from the National
10:05
Hospital. So National Hospital is still
10:07
in play.
