“MAZI NNAMDI KANU’s case set for 20th May 2024 will hold.
“The Court shall convene at 12noon. Ground zero: Federal High Court, Abuja.
“#MnkLegalTeam is primed & in battle array. #NoShaking.
“The #MNKLegalTeam & all conscientious people around the world appreciate the Supreme Court of Nigeria in the case of FGN v #MNK, when it held that: ‘Crime cannot be committed [by Nigerian Govt.] as a valid means of crime prevention & control.’
“When a Government [like Nigeria] established by LAW resorts to the commission of crimes [extraordinary rendition/kidnapping/criminal abduction] as a means of crime control and prevention, the RULE OF LAW becomes ENDANGERED.
Ejimakor
“The question we ask then is: What becomes of justice, people & society when the sanctity of rule of law is destroyed by those employed to uphold it? It’s long overdue to do JUSTICE. #FreeMNK.”
The Abuja Federal High Court will continue Kanu’s terrorism trial following the Supreme Court’s reversal of the Appeal Court’s decision to discharge and acquit him of terrorism charges.
