OMOTOSHO’S
101 ERRORS OF LAW: NNAMDI KANU FILES APPEAL AGAINST A CONVICTION
WITHOUT LAW OR CRIME
The
Global Defence Consortium today formally announces the public release
of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s Notice of Appeal, marking the first decisive
phase in a coordinated global legal challenge to the conviction
delivered on 20 November 2025 by Justice J.K. Omotosho.
After
a forensic review of the 144-page judgment, senior criminal defence
lawyers from South Africa, Kenya, the United States, Canada, the
United Kingdom, and Nigeria identified 1,156 distinct errors of law,
logic, and jurisprudence. From these, the Consortium distilled 101
unassailable errors—predominantly jurisdictional—that strike at
the heart of the conviction.
The
appeal demonstrates, with precision, that the conviction was secured
without an extant offence-creating statute, without settled
jurisdiction, without proof of any crime, and in defiance of
constitutional safeguards, binding statutes, and treaty obligations.
It exposes a trial that proceeded on contradiction, speculation, and
judicial substitution for proof—culminating in a sentence imposed
where law itself was absent.
This
Notice of Appeal places the Nigerian judiciary at a historic
crossroads: affirm the supremacy of the Constitution and the rule of
law—or validate a conviction that dismantles both.
The
Consortium states unequivocally: this appeal is not merely about one
man. It is a constitutional reckoning. The outcome will determine
whether Nigeria’s courts remain courts of law—or instruments of
power unbound by law.
ADDENDUM
(PUBLIC NOTICE)
For
ease of understanding by law students, legal practitioners, and the
general public, the Consortium will publish two Grounds of Appeal per
day, sequentially and without commentary, until all 101 Grounds are
fully released.
Each
Ground will speak for itself.
Let
the world judge—between Nigeria and —who is guilty of offending
the law, the Constitution, and the other.
