Judicial Fumble: Nigerian Court Convicts Nnamdi Kanu Under Repealed Law
A Federal High Court judgment against Nnamdi Kanu has sparked controversy after Justice J.K. Omotosho convicted him under a law repealed in 2022. Legal experts argue that the ruling violated fundamental principles of criminal jurisdiction, which require a law to be in force both when the alleged conduct occurs and at the time of trial. Critics claim the court misapplied Section 98(3) of the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022, effectively resurrecting a dead law to secure a predetermined conviction. The case raises serious questions about judicial overreach and adherence to the rule of law in Nigeria.
