ishiamu:He has a right to his opinion just as you have yours. He doesn't have to say the things you like to hear just as you don't say things he likes to hear. When you accept that fact, life would be a lot simpler for you. @ post: #ItsVanguardAgain! Well, Kanu can't "reject" the request, he can only "object" to it. It is the prerogative of the court whether or not to grant the prayer and the last time I checked, Kanu isn't a court. These journalists sef. |

menabae:Oh please, that happens the world over especially when such cases border on national security. There's nothing "only in Nigeria" about it. You guys should learn to broaden the scope of your knowledge and stop depending entirely on local/domestic news sources. |

Whether open or secret trial the one they call Kanu is on a long thing. One of the IPOBians just told where i was chilling for lunch and listening to the news that the world is waiting for the result of his trial, and it is after then that I'll understand that Nnamdi Kanu is well connected. I smiled sarcastically as i call his attention to their earlier consolation of how Kanu tricked the FG by making himself available for arrest. I then conclude that until Kanu is jail or hang then we will know that even the inmate or the devil Mr lucifer is interested in his home coming..... Nnamdi Kanu is a gonner! |

Meanwhile, Kanu, through his lead counsel, Chief Chuks Muoma, SAN, vehemently opposed the application which he said grossly lacked merit. He argued that section 36(4) of the 1999 constitution made no provision for masquerades to testify in a trial involving an alleged act of treason. “An accused person under our jurisprudence and justice administration must be confronted with his accusers eye-ball to eye-ball. “My lord we operate an accusatorial system of procedure under the common law. Justice must not only be done but must be seen to have been done. “It is not within common sense to malign and accuse someone in public and apply to try him in the bedroom. Having been accused in public we want to also be tried in public. “We therefore urge this court not to allow masquerades to testify before it. We want to see their faces and ask them questions. As masquerades, how will the court be able to gauge their demeanour and body language? Is it by the rhythm of their dance steps? “The tenets of justice outweigh this application and we urge my lord to reject it. It has no merit whatsoever. Secret trial is for terrorism charge, it is not for the type of offence for which these defendants were charged. “Secret trial does not apply in a case of treasonable felony or involvement in alleged unlawful society. During the trial we will prove to them that we are not an illegal organisation”, Muoma added. Lawyer toh badt |

Kanu's defense lawyer is too sensitive to ignore. His logic is well decorated |

The zoo lawyer wants secret trial while kanu was accused publicly? only in the zoo shits happen. No masquerade will be accepted to testify in the court. They shud Come face to face with their bags of evidence if they have balls. |

I love this;
.
“My lord we operate an accusatorial system
of procedure under the common law. Justice
must not only be done but must be seen to
have been done.
“It is not within common sense to malign and
accuse someone in public and apply to try
him in the bedroom. Having been accused in
public we want to also be tried in public.
“We therefore urge this court not to allow
masquerades to testify before it. We want to
see their faces and ask them questions. As
masquerades, how will the court be able to
gauge their demeanour and body language?
Is it by the rhythm of their dance steps? |
