Nnamdi Kanu ; In Case Hon. Justice John Tsoho Wants To Twist The Law. by Longeria(m): 4:24pm On Feb 09, 2016 |
JUST FOR THE RECORDS, IN CASE HON. JUSTICE JOHN TSOHO WANTS TO TWIST THE LAW: Treasonable offences According to chapter 6 of Nigeria's Criminal Code Act, a person is charged with treason offences if: Levies war against the state, in order to intimidate or overawe the president or the governor of a state. Conspires with any person, either within or without Nigeria, to levy war against the state with the intent to cause such levying of war. Instigates any foreigner to invade Nigeria with an Armed Force. Becomes an accessory after the fact to treason; or knowing that any person intends to commit treason, does not give information thereof with all reasonable despatch to the President or the Governor of the State or a peace officer, or use other reasonable endeavours to prevent the commission of the offence. Unlawful Societies According to chapter 9 of Nigeria's Criminal Code Act, a society is unlawful if formed for: Levying war or encouraging or assisting any person to levy war on the Government or the inhabitants of any part of Nigeria; or killing or injuring or encouraging the killing or injuring of any person; or destroying or injuring or encouraging the destruction or injuring of any property; or subverting or promoting the subversion of the Government or of its officials; or committing or inciting to acts of violence or intimidation; or (f) interfering with, or resisting, or encouraging interference with or resistance to the administration of the law; or disturbing or encouraging the disturbance of peace and order in any part of Nigeria; or if declared by an order of the President to be a society dangerous to the good government of Nigeria or of any part thereof. PUNISHMENT IF FOUND GUILTY: According to Section 41 of the criminal code, a person found guilty of treasonable offences can be sentenced to life imprisonment. If the defendant is acquitted, they cannot be tried for treason related to the same facts. Section 63 says that a person who manages or assists in the management of an unlawful society is guilty of a felony and is liable to imprisonment for seven years. According to section 47 of the Customs and Excise Management Act, a person who imports or causes to be imported concealed goods or goods found "not to correspond with the entry delivered thereof" can be sentenced to five years in prison without the option of paying a fine. |

"Conspires with any person, either within or without Nigeria, to levy war against the state with the intent to cause such levying of war. " Raising arms to attack the government is completely defined here. Saying he intends to put "a million AK 47s in the hands of a million men" fits into here too. Interesting 1 Like |

Mynd44: According to your own narrow calculations, but unfortunately you won't be allowed to testify in the court.. BTW, why don't you volunteer to as one of the govts witnesses at least you have a special hate for anything Igbo.. But don't think Igbos have any love for you either.. |

Bobskylo:remember uwazurike was jailed for same reason Henry Okah was also jailed for same reason Ojukwu ran away for same reason. nnamdi kanu is following same path with the above mentioned therefore no international community is willing to help him. |

Mynd44: What kind of stupid defining of law is this? If you have nothing meaningful to contribute just stay away from the thread. Emotions are not accommodated in the interpretation of law. Your next action will be to ban pro Biafrans and hide all comments in favour while leaving anti Biafran comments. It is either the conversation is allowed or banned outrightly. |
