Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has offered one million naira to students of Nigerian law school.

Kanu offered the money to any law student who can provide an authority where a judge granted stay of release of a person acquitted by the court.

This was disclosed by Kanu’s legal team led by his lead Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, Jude Ugwuanyi, and Nnaemeka Ejiofor, and Mandela Umegborogu in Abuja on Tuesday.

Speaking on behalf of the lawyers, Ejiofor said: “Mazi Nnamdi Kanu pledges to give any law student in any Nigerian University the sum of One Million (N1, 000, 000.00) Naira if such student finds any precedent on stay of execution in criminal proceedings where an acquitted person is by such order restrained from enjoying his freedom.

“It is an illegality that would hunt Nigeria for as long as life endures. But then, it was granted because Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is of Igbo descendants and must suffer, notwithstanding what the law says.”

The legal team also insisted that Kanu’s contentious detention was illegal and without any court backing.

He added: “It is noteworthy that Onyendu’s continual detention at the Department of State Security Service is illegal and not predicated on any court Order. Recall that Onyendu was remanded on the purport that Onyendu jumped bail.

“By the decision of the Court of Appeal, all the charges for which Onyendu is being tried were quashed for want of jurisdiction and in violation of the Extradition Acts of both Kenya and Nigeria.

“Justice Tsamani of the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division unlawfully granted an Order staying the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

“This order was illegally granted and never in the history of any country’s jurisprudence had an acquitted person been denied his release from detention by way of stay of execution.”

Nnamdi Kanu should be allowed to go home a free man. He committed no crime against humanity.

There's already a Supreme Court ruling that has put aside the original High Court ruling that ordered Kanu to be released from DSS custody and returned to Kenya over the rendition carried out by the Nigerian government.

The High Court ruling that ordered Kanu's rendition as illegal is separate from that in which he is standing trial for Treason and terrorism charges.

At no point has any court in Nigeria acquitted and discharged Kanu for his existing treasonable felon and terrorism case.

The Supreme Court overturned the separate high court ruling declaring Kanu's rendition illegal and declared that Kanu should continue to face his criminal case that has been pending for years.

No court in Nigeria has acquitted and discharged Kanu for his criminal case and the Supreme court has since set aside the parallel High Court ruling declaring his rendition illegal.

Thanks for this clarification, I was wondering when i read people saying he has been held illegally. So why are some of these lawyers confusing the public, or is there no punishment for doing so, Hheemm

How can he be acquitted by the Appeal court when the high court case has not been concluded ?

Borrow sense nah.

Google is there use it

Kanu's legal team sought a separate high court ruling challenging his rendition back to Nigeria as being illegal without recourse to international procedures and laws.

The FG appealled up to the supreme court which decided that Kanu should continue his trial .


No court had acquitted and discharged Kanu.

All this has nothing to do with the challenge Nnamdi Kanu set. The court of appeal discharged and ordered that Kanu be released. The government ran to the same Appeal court to ask that court to stay its own judgement while it appealed that judgement at the Supreme court

What Kanu is asking is where has it happened that a person is set free by a court, you ask that same court to temporarily keep the person it already freed, in jail, while you appeal at a higher court? How can any person ask a court to suspend its own judgement so they can appeal elsewhere?

I have never heard of such judicial rascality in my life, and I'm sure no Law student has either

No court can encroach into another parallel court affairs.

Kanu has not been discharged and acquitted from his ongoing case for treasonable felony

Why are you ignoring the supreme court ruling?

The legal team is desperate to stall and end the ongoing case because the evidence is beyond reasonable doubt.

The legal team needs to sensationalise the case to get sympathy for their client.


The longer the case is delayed , the more legal fees are racked up.

Kanu's theatrics in court is to ensure the case continues to drag.

Kanu had first refused to recognise the jurisdiction of the court to try him and has twice demanded the judge rescue herself from the case.

His legal team even once stalled a hearing by declaring that he has began a plea negotiation with the federal government and that the case should be halted until a negotiation is reached and dress ammended charges brought before the court.

The judiciary is being very careful so as to get the defense to exhaust all legal loopholes so as not to claim miscarriage of justice over some technicality.


If this was a civil case the judge will not hesitate to sanction the defense bit being it's a criminal case and a serious one at that, the court must entertain every theatrics from the defense .

This one keeps talking about Supreme court as if that is the issue. Kanu was discharged and freed by the court of appeal in October 2022. The ruling of the Supreme court would not come until November 2023, more than a year later

Kanu sat in Jail for more than a year despite having a court of appeal judge freeing him. What Kanu is asking is where has this been done before?

So what it means is that if a person wins his freedom in court, the government will ask that court to suspend a binding judgment, keep that person in jail, so government can spend months, even years appealing at a higher court. That's judicial rascality

You people think this about Kanu? It will start with Kanu but government will do this more often in the future. "You are set free by court, but you have to wait years in jail so I can go on appeal to all the higher courts of the land first"

Absolute rascality!

Is the Appeal court above the Supreme court?

You can not be selective in which judgement to abide to.

The supreme court has ruled that Kanu's case mist continue and that is final.

one million naira is nothing today....

Is court of appeal higher than supreme Court. Nmandi kanu has murdered sleep, him too will not sleep. Una no get shame, same Tinubu and family he wanted to kill during endsars and he did live video of attacking him. No Igbo condemned him but not as fate has it, Tinubu is now the president and foolish people want him be released by same man he wanted to kill. He might even been in prison till 2031.

If you ever go to court, and court sets you free, but government asks the same court to suspend their decision, keep you jail for months or years while they appeal at the Supreme court, you will understand where Kanu is coming from

If Kanu is convicted today in court and sent to jail, will Kanu be able to ask court to suspend that decision while he appeals to the Supreme court? Or will he begin his sentence and appeal from jail? The judgement of the court will stand while Kanu appeals from jail

But if Kanu wins in court, he will still sit in jail as the authorities appeal at a higher court

That is known as judicial rascality

reason is because of the bad u Igbos have done to others in d past so u must always have a separate rule cos u did what any other person haven't done before

You say Nigeria is wicked and corrupt, so why expecting justice and reason from a system you categorized as evil?

Could it be that you don't truly believe it is evil and your just scamming your followers?

If Nnamdi Kanu truly believes Nigeria is evil then he should commit suicide in prison, that at least will turn him to a Martyr.
