UK-Based Lawyer Accuses Justice Omotosho of Judicial Misconduct, Says Nnamdi Kanu Was Convicted Under Repealed Terrorism Law
A UK-based human rights lawyer, Jude Njoku Jude, has accused Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja of gross legal and constitutional violations in the trial of IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. The lawyer alleged that Kanu was convicted under the repealed Terrorism Prevention (Amendment) Act 2013 instead of the operative Terrorism Prevention and Prohibition Act 2022, contrary to Section 36(12) of Nigeria’s Constitution. He further claimed that the court lacked jurisdiction, ignored challenges to its authority, and contradicted itself during proceedings. Jude also faulted the court for overlooking alleged illegal rendition from Kenya, violations of international law, and failure to establish jurisdiction over alleged broadcasts made in the United Kingdom. Describing the trial as a “constitutional ambush,” he said at least 17 major legal errors render the conviction void and subject to being overturned.
