1
00:00:00,120 –> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB has said that the detained

2
00:00:04,240 –> 00:00:09,080
Biafra Republic Agitation leader Marzi Namdikru has not forfeited his

3
00:00:09,240 –> 00:00:12,960
rights to defend himself before the Federal High Court sitting

4
00:00:12,960 –> 00:00:17,359
in Abuja, after the Judge, Justice James Omaitosho ruled on

5
00:00:17,480 –> 00:00:21,199
Friday and stated that Namdi Carnu rights to enter defense

6
00:00:21,280 –> 00:00:25,480
has been forfeited and thereafter fixed November twenty, twenty twenty

7
00:00:25,559 –> 00:00:28,559
five for judgment as Namdi Carnu was seen to have

8
00:00:28,600 –> 00:00:33,240
staged a defensive confrontation with aggressive loud voice challenging the

9
00:00:33,280 –> 00:00:36,520
court that the federal government allegations against him has no

10
00:00:36,640 –> 00:00:40,000
legal basis or any aspect of the Nigeria law that

11
00:00:40,079 –> 00:00:44,799
backs such allegations. This barrister, a lawyer Gimccor, the organizing

12
00:00:44,880 –> 00:00:48,479
lawyer for the detained Biafra Republic Agitation leader, had on

13
00:00:48,600 –> 00:00:52,280
Wednesday said in a written and video statement posted on

14
00:00:52,399 –> 00:00:56,520
his ex social media account that Namdi Kru is competent

15
00:00:56,679 –> 00:01:01,320
enough to defend himself, especially given the polleit elements in

16
00:01:01,359 –> 00:01:04,719
the case, which he understands better than any lawyer. In

17
00:01:04,760 –> 00:01:08,680
a press release issued and made available on Friday, ipob

18
00:01:08,920 –> 00:01:12,719
in the statement signed by Emma Powerful said it strongly

19
00:01:12,799 –> 00:01:15,519
condemns the new round of fake news being pushed by

20
00:01:15,599 –> 00:01:20,599
certain Nigerian media outlets. The false claim that Marzi Namdykru

21
00:01:20,719 –> 00:01:24,439
has forfeited his right to defense in the ongoing trial

22
00:01:24,480 –> 00:01:28,439
before Justice James kolawol Amaitasho of the Federal High Court,

23
00:01:28,719 –> 00:01:31,920
Abuja is a desperate lineman to mislead the public and

24
00:01:31,959 –> 00:01:35,560
cover up an illegal process. Let the truth be clear,

25
00:01:36,000 –> 00:01:40,519
Marzi Namdykru has not forfeited anything. What is happening in

26
00:01:40,599 –> 00:01:44,239
court is not a fair trial but a political show up.

27
00:01:44,280 –> 00:01:49,359
Till today, neither Justice Omaitasho nor Chief Adding Boyegbera Moomeolo San,

28
00:01:49,799 –> 00:01:53,040
the government’s lead prosecutor, has been able to point to

29
00:01:53,079 –> 00:01:58,040
any valid existing law that Marzi Namdykru supposedly broke. Their

30
00:01:58,120 –> 00:02:01,519
silence speaks volumes. It is a quiet confession that this

31
00:02:01,760 –> 00:02:06,599
entire case has no legal foundation. The core question remains simple.

32
00:02:06,959 –> 00:02:10,240
Can anyone be prosecuted or convicted without a living law

33
00:02:10,240 –> 00:02:14,240
that clearly defines the offense and prescribes a punishment. The

34
00:02:14,319 –> 00:02:18,439
answer is written in section thirty six twelve of Nigeria’s

35
00:02:18,520 –> 00:02:23,120
nineteen ninety nine Constitution. A person shall not be convicted

36
00:02:23,159 –> 00:02:26,120
of a criminal offense unless that offense is defined and

37
00:02:26,159 –> 00:02:29,919
the penalty therefore is prescribed in a written law. This

38
00:02:30,120 –> 00:02:33,319
means you cannot charge or convict anyone unless the law

39
00:02:33,400 –> 00:02:37,039
exists in black and white. No judge or lawyer can

40
00:02:37,080 –> 00:02:40,400
twist that. The Supreme Court has said the same thing

41
00:02:40,520 –> 00:02:44,800
many times in al Co versus fag Bemi nineteen sixty one,

42
00:02:45,080 –> 00:02:49,360
AG Federation versus Abubaka two thousand and seven, and n

43
00:02:49,479 –> 00:02:54,360
NPC versus Fawehinmi nineteen ninety eight. Where there is no law,

44
00:02:54,719 –> 00:02:58,479
there can be no trial, no conviction, and no justice.

45
00:02:59,039 –> 00:03:02,599
But instead of ober paying this clear rule, Justice Homatosho

46
00:03:02,759 –> 00:03:06,879
keeps trying to force Marsi Namdikrnu to open his defense,

47
00:03:07,240 –> 00:03:09,840
as if pretending that a valid case will make it real.

48
00:03:10,639 –> 00:03:13,319
This is wrong. It’s an asuse of power and a

49
00:03:13,360 –> 00:03:17,240
clear violation of fair hearing. You cannot force a man

50
00:03:17,319 –> 00:03:21,199
to defend himself against a ghost charge. So we ask

51
00:03:21,280 –> 00:03:25,960
again under which law is Marsi Namdyicru being tried, What

52
00:03:26,159 –> 00:03:29,960
Act of the National Assembly defines his supposed defense, and

53
00:03:30,039 –> 00:03:32,800
by what right does a judge compel a defense where

54
00:03:32,800 –> 00:03:38,759
no offense in law exists. Nigerians deserve honest answers, not propaganda.

55
00:03:39,120 –> 00:03:42,599
Every one should read Section thirty six twelve and know

56
00:03:42,719 –> 00:03:46,639
their rights. It protects all of us from tyranny. Any

57
00:03:46,680 –> 00:03:50,199
court that ignores the Constitution becomes part of the problem,

58
00:03:50,439 –> 00:03:55,879
not the solution. IPOB fully supports Marsi Namdikrnu’s stand in

59
00:03:55,919 –> 00:04:00,280
refusing to legitimize this illegality by entering a defense. The

60
00:04:00,360 –> 00:04:06,360
truth is unshakable. No valid law supports this case none whatsoever. Now,

61
00:04:06,919 –> 00:04:10,479
Justice Armaitasho says he will give judgment without even allowing

62
00:04:10,560 –> 00:04:15,080
final addresses from both sides. That’s laughable and unheard of

63
00:04:15,159 –> 00:04:18,839
in criminal law. If that is truly his position, then

64
00:04:18,879 –> 00:04:21,959
maybe he needs to go back to law school and

65
00:04:22,120 –> 00:04:27,519
learn what due process means of Supreme Court judgment.

66
00:04:27,720 –> 00:04:37,920

Speaker 1: Uh?

124
00:09:53,480 –> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 5: For me continues to be travesty of justice. I’ve always

125
00:09:58,039 –> 00:10:03,080
said it that in Nigeria it appeared to be two

126
00:10:03,120 –> 00:10:07,440
sets of rules, one for the Yebo man and another

127
00:10:07,559 –> 00:10:10,879
for the other Nigerians. This is only what I saw

128
00:10:11,120 –> 00:10:14,240
in court today. First of all, my name is honorable

129
00:10:14,279 –> 00:10:18,960
obi Agocha represent the great people of Iguano who might

130
00:10:19,039 –> 00:10:21,480
have not and Uma has sought for her consistency. I

131
00:10:21,600 –> 00:10:26,480
am the primary representative for Mazzi nam the canel. So

132
00:10:27,799 –> 00:10:29,679
I’m going to speak to you as a layman. I’m

133
00:10:29,720 –> 00:10:36,360
not a lawyer in the mortgag
