BREAKING: Terrorism conviction: Nnamdi Kanu lawyer, Ejimakor reveals next step after life imprisonment

Published

on

Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyers have vowed to appeal his conviction, insisting that the judgment does not hold water.

Addressing the press at the Federal High Court shortly after Justice James Omotosho delivered the judgment that sentenced Kanu to life imprisonment, his lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, who was at the court as a consultant, said they were heading to the upper court.

He argued that a man cannot be convicted for mere spoken words, questioning why that should be the case at the Federal High Court.

“What kind of precedent is being laid here? We are heading to the Court of Appeal,” he said.

“The Court of Appeal is the only court in this country, or the next court in this country that sits as a jury. We are going to approach justices there to check out what happened in court today.

“And we are pretty sure the justices will agree with us that today was the symbol of the travesty of justice that everybody has been suspecting.”

He said further: “If the Court of Appeal disagrees with us, we head to the Supreme Court. Nnamdi Kanu is not going to stand convicted. He’s going to get overturned.

“This is the only day I have witnessed a man being convicted for mere pronouncements, just for what he said from his mouth, not what he did with his own hands.

“The verdict is not consistent with the evidence laid before the court. The sentence is overbroad, cruel and unusual.

“How can you convict a man for making a mere broadcast from a location that was never named and he never tied that broadcast to any single incident of violence, or even someone slapping someone, not to talk of terrorism.”
