Eminencepicturesque. Justice John Tsoho yesterday, January 20, ordered the Radio Biafra director Nnamdi Kanu to be remanded in the custody of the Nigeria Prison Service, Kuje, pending his trial for treason.

Absurd case which has done harm to the image of Nigeria His lordship, I must commend your bravery to have finally chosen to preside over this absurd case which has done more harm than good to the image of Nigeria. Had the executive respected the previous decisions of courts of jurisdiction, you would not be here now but it is good that you are here because somebody must restore the confidence and prove the independence of the judiciary. Buhari has tried to undermine the credibility of your institution The DSS and federal government led by Buhari had flouted the orders of court of competent jurisdiction, they have shown contempt and it is shameful they approached you yet for justice. Buhari has tried to undermine the credibility of your institution; he in his maiden media chat cited his willingness to control the judiciary which will destroy democracy and human right entrenchment you symbolizes. I can understand and see the pressure from Buhari to influence your lordship to be partial, he even said he would jail judges he perceived to be corrupt, by virtue of serving justice where he understood to be injustice, I know you fear he would come after you but you have to be strong and explain explicitly to him. The universal UN 2007 declaration on the rights of indigenous people which gave a people right to ask for self-governance protected Nnamdi Kanu, the decision of Nigeria to domesticate this law and was signatory to it further backed Kanu. Nnamdi Kanu registered IPOB in line with UN recommendation Bringing treasonable felony charge to your lordship is like executive fraud (419) to the 2007 signatory and domestication and without her signatory and domestication; Nnamdi Kanu i know will never agitate for Biafra, asking Buhari to give him Biafra is in line. His lordship, Nnamdi Kanu registered IPOB in line with UN recommendation, Kanu is a certified leader of IPOB by virtue of world convention of indigenous people in Los Angelos in 2015 and bringing a feeling of unlawful organization is borne out of impulse to destroy. The judiciary of this country feared to be puppet His lordship, I spoke with a British friend and a Spanish friend who expressed dismay that despite seeing how Scotland and Cataluna handle agitation for freedom, Nigeria preferred to be barbaric and unlawful, instead of debate and dialogue, they chose incarceration, torture and killing. My friend wondered why you gave the prosecution such time but I am of the belief that the law accepts all but justice. The reason for the court is to correct the abnormality nursed by the prosecution and I have confidence. Your lordship, the eyes of the world is upon you and the judiciary of this country feared to be puppet in the hand of the executive is due to be cleared and proved wrong. They have so much made mockery of the sacred due process of this sacred institution, in light of this; human right has been violated and lives taken unlawfully. Their overzealous resolve to profane the law and charter they signed and domesticated proves blindness and timidity only a learned Judge like you can correct. The UN is being indirectly mocked and opposed, in the presence of abuse of the sacred charters they made, they have remained quiet because people like you ought to defend the law made and signed into existence. I will humbly cap my pen as I wait the restoration of confidence and dawn of justice.
