Nnamdi Kanu And The Conscience Of The Republic! By Tope Temokun, Esq.
This is my own position on Nnamdi Kanu.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
It has been over four years since Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), was forcibly taken and returned to Nigeria in June 2021 and arraigned before the Federal High Court, Abuja.
On October 13, 2022, the Court of Appeal courageously held that his extraordinary rendition from Kenya was unlawful, and consequently discharged and acquitted him of all charges. But on December 15, 2023, the Supreme Court reversed that verdict.
It must, however, be clearly stated that the Supreme Court never pronounced Kanu’s abduction lawful—far from it. It merely held that the Court of Appeal overreached by terminating the trial, and thus reinstated the proceedings. In essence, the Court allowed the process to continue, leaving the legal, moral, and constitutional questions surrounding Kanu’s abduction unanswered.
Yet beyond the legal technicalities lies a deeper, older, and more dangerous question—the national question, the same question that once led Nigeria down the path of civil war: the question of a people’s right to self-determination. Ths is the unanswered question of our national conscience.
Nigeria toys with a ticking time bomb when it assumes that the quest for self-determination can be extinguished by the killing or incarceration of its prophets. History warns us: you may kill the messenger, but you cannot bury the message. When you silence the prophet, the spirit of the people will rise in his stead.
How does a nation that claims to uphold the rule of law justify the prolonged detention of a man never convicted of any crime? How does a government that extends pardon to the guilty keep an unconvicted man in solitary confinement? That contradiction is not governance—it is a moral wound on the conscience of a nation.
As citizens, our first allegiance is to truth and justice, not to the transient whims of any regime. The continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, despite the judicial stigma of illegality tainting the process, stands as a blot on the conscience of the Nigerian state and a mockery of justice under the law.
No government wins unity by silencing dissent.
No nation becomes stronger by trampling on its own laws.
I therefore join my voice with that of Omoyele Sowore and other patriots of conscience to call for the immediate and unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu.
True peace is not built on coercion but on justice evenly dispensed. Let the Nigerian government demonstrate strength through fairness, not fear; and legitimacy through justice, not persecution.
The release of Nnamdi Kanu is no longer a political decision—it is a moral imperative, a constitutional duty, and above all, a test of Nigeria’s claim to democracy and decency.

Terrorists release photo of m8rdered Kaduna Anglican priest....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
Terrorists have released a picture of the abducted wife and daughter of slain Kaduna Anglican priest with gun pointed at them.
LIB reported that Ven. Edwin Achi, his wife Sarah and their daughter were abducted from their residence in Chikun Local Government Area on October 28, 2025.
The terrorists threatened to k!ll the victims if their family failed to pay N200 million ransom.
The abductors killed the priest before the ultimatum lapsed and later released a picture of him and his wife on his Facebook page.
A family member, Avril, confirmed the latest development on X while addressing journalist Rufai Oseni.
“Please keep pushing the news that Ven. Edwin Achi’s wife Sarah Achi is still in captivity. Their captors recently uploaded a picture of her and daughter, with a gun pointed at them. Their demands are incoherent at this point,” he wrote.
Posting a heart wrenching photo of the victims on Wednesday, he wrote: “This is not a country.”
A heartwarming act of kindness by Senator Natasha Hadiza Akpoti has captured hearts on social media after she surprised her long-time domestic staff, Abdul Bambamba, with a home of his own.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
Abdul, a skilled plaster-of-Paris (POP) artisan, had been contracted to work on a building, unaware that he was actually constructing his future home, the emotional revelation left him in tears of disbelief and gratitude.
In her words, she said:
“This particular house has a special story behind it, and the owner does not know it belongs to him. His name is Abdul Bambamba. He is actually an uncle to my children. I was married to his relative.
Even though the marriage failed, Abdul remained committed to me. He always cared for me and the children, even before I met my husband now. He has been a very special person to me.”
The gesture was more than just a gift; it was a recognition of years of loyalty and unwavering support. According to Senator Natasha, Abdul is more than an artisan, he is a family.
Even after her previous marriage ended, Abdul remained a steadfast presence, looking after her and her children through difficult times and significant milestones.
Overwhelmed by his humility, kindness, and steadfast loyalty, Senator Natasha decided to honor him in a way he would never expect: by giving him a home he had helped build with his own hands.
The touching moment has gone viral on social media, with many praising Senator Natasha’s generosity and describing Abdul’s loyalty as rare and commendable.
