CharlesPhc:


I agree but what do you think about this judge's position on the matter?

Gayigaskia:


Is the SSS the Judge ? Guy do you know separation of powers and all the parties involved in any given case?

TonyeBarcanista:

The judge has no choice but to hands off. This isn't the first time judges have been stepping aside on cases. It won't be the last either.

ERockson:
With this development Kanu will remain in DSS detention till 2019 and by then he would have grown a lot of sense and beard.

TonyeBarcanista:

It is rather loss of confidence.

While I want the youngman to be granted bail, the gravity of his alleged offence(according to the state) seem to make releasing on bail "impossible"(in quote). This is not as simple as we may think.

Tolatutu:


@TonyeBarcanista could you please do a thread helping to explain court order because it's clear that many don't understand. They seem to think that makes him immune to getting charged for another offense. That court order was only relating to those charges brought to that court and in no way stops the DSS from charging him for other offenses which is what they've done. I would love to hear you break it down

Gayigaskia:


this is a judicial matter. Buhari don't have nothing to do with this.

EternalTruths:


If another judge is sent, and Kanu reminds the judge of the various bails granted and disobeyed by the DSS, what do you think the judge will do.?


Buhari is putting himself in danger.

If anything happens to Kanu since the court has granted him bail, I don't see how Buhari won't pay dearly for disobeying court order.

drss:
Buari in just seven months destroyed judiciary. Ones a dictator always a dictator.

CharlesPhc:


Judges steps aside for various reasons. This is peculiar.

Imagine a scenerio where a new judge comes in, looks at the case and grants Kanu's release (making the 3rd Court to grant his release) and the DSS ignores his order?

Which Judge would want his orders abused or ignored by the State Security?

Where a Judge feels his order or ruling would be abused, as in the case of this judge, he is at liberty to excuse himself.

The DSS should be prepared to keep shopping for judges if our learned judges would think straight

CharlesPhc:



Did you hear Kanu say he would prefer to remain in detention?

Remii:
. He said: “Thank you very much my lordship, but my objection is that I will not receive a fair trial before this court. The information I got is that I will not receive a fair trial before this court.

“I will not sacrifice the due process of law because of speedy court process over the principle of natural process on the altar of speedy release. In other words, I would rather remain in detention than subject myself to a trial that I know amounts to perversion of justice.

“Your lordship, previous court rulings have been given by courts of competent jurisdiction in this country, Nigeria which were not carried out by the DSS.”
those are from his words.

CharlesPhc:


Have you heard of what they refer to as 'Abuse of Court'...?

You take an accussed before a Court, the judge gives an order, you run to another court, he also gives an order and you repeat thesame process in the name of different charges or offence.
Multiple charges can be collapsed into few for speedy trial.

I don't have a problem with the DSS holding him for Security reasons but they should do a proper home work before the judiciary otherwise they will end up making a mockery of the hope of the common man. Today its kanu, tomorrow it could be one of your kinsmen

yomexp:
Listen dude. if you commit 50 different offences, you will be arraigned 50 different times and you will have to apply for bail 50 different times. so for the fact that inamdi kanu was granted bail doesn't mean he can't be rearrested or rearraigned again for another offence. that is the position of the law.

Remii:
lol, I remember a court setting abiola free on condition during abacha regime, abiola rejected that conditional release, abacha then dissolved supreme court judges team, he never reconstitute it until both both of them died. he kept referring to that rejection of bail to justify detention of abiola till death took them away, femi falana blamed abiola's death in detention on his lawyers, I hope kanu is getting good advise from his lawyers and friends

TonyeBarcanista:

Bros, there is always loopholes in law. He's standing trial for treason, which is not a bailable offence. The DSS are exploiting legal loopholes. Trust me boss, the case isn't so straight forward.

CharlesPhc:




I personally feel Nnamdi Kanu has just set a new precedence in the Nigerian Judiciary with this landmark admittance from the judge.

With the statement from the judge, Kanu's lawyers can go ahead to file for contempt of Court against the DG of the DSS otherwise, anyone arraigned by the DSS may follow suite and claim lack of confidence in trial.

The DG of DSS should now immediately tender his resignation letter otherwise he must be invited to the NASS to explain on whose order he is acting in disobedience to a competent court order.

If he fails to do so, then it becomes an indictment (which could also be an impeachable offence) against the President and C-in-C of the FRN who would prefer to look the other way while his appointee keep daring the judiciary....!!!

studio14:
what do u mean? Which judge are you talking about? Judge gave order Buhari through Daura disobeyed it,pls go back to school if you don't mind

yomexp:
It's not a loophole. it's the law. he is standing trial for another offence bothering on treason he will have to seek bail for this as well. to me the guy is just unnecessarily prolonging his trial. may he is trying to buy time to look for a political solution or send emissaries to beg Buhari before the trial commences. remember the tif he is convicted he will have to spend the rest of is life in detention.

EternalTruths:


FG is the one buying time with the hope that he will forfeit his struggle which is protected under UN charter on self determination.

Judge gave order another judge counter it, lets see who needs to go back to school. By the way i' am always learning i do't know about you arrogant

TonyeBarcanista:

I think Kanu better exploit political solution. His alleged offence treason isn't a light offence. The video of him soliciting for arms is his major undoing.

Personally, I want him to be allowed to go home. He's just misguided.

So a call for self determination through UN referendum is a misguided venture despite the fact that Britain allowed the Scots to determine their fate through a referendum

I believe one of your parents is not a Nigerdeltan . That's why you seek SS and SW unity and do everything to destroy the love between SS and SE.
