Message From Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, as Conveyed by Prince Kanu
Prince Emmanuel Kanu, the younger brother of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and a key figure in the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has delivered a message from his brother after visiting him at the Sokoto Medium Security Prison.
According to him, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu maintained that his conviction has no legal basis, arguing that no one can be validly convicted under a law that has already been repealed. He explained that the court refused to accept his final written address, which focused on the issue of fair hearing.
He also added that the evidence used to convict him was not part of the original charge sheet and was never properly presented before the court. He faulted the judgment for relying on charges previously struck out by Justice Binta Nyako, calling it a grave legal error.
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is said to have stressed that a thorough examination of the judgment exposes several flaws which, in his view, render the entire trial invalid. He urged credible Nigerian judges, magistrates, and legal experts to scrutinise the ruling to ensure that justice and constitutional principles are upheld.
He further questioned how his conviction could stand despite earlier favourable judgments from the Umuahia High Court, the Enugu Appeal Court, the Supreme Court, and even the United Nations—which reportedly confirmed that the laws used against him had been repealed and needed amendment.
He reaffirmed his stance against injustice, oppression, and unfairness in any form, regardless of tribe, religion, or ethnicity. He also expressed sincere appreciation to all those who have continued to support him through prayers and solidarity.
He ended his message with: “Injustice done to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is injustice everywhere. I remain grateful for your support, prayers, and goodwill. May Elohim bless you all.”
