Sowore’s Misguided Showmanship: Turning Kanu’s Case Into A Personal Crusade For A Man On Trial For Treason.
The viral video of Nnamdi Kanu calling for violence — urging followers to attack police and military officers and threatening to “burn down Nigeria” — is deeply disturbing. This is the man facing treason and terrorism charges, not a victim of political persecution. Against such evidence, Omoyele Sowore’s loud campaign for Kanu’s unconditional release raises serious questions about motive, judgment, and responsibility. True activism seeks justice, not anarchy. Demanding freedom for someone who publicly promoted violence is an insult to every Nigerian security officer who risks life daily for national unity. No one should glorify criminal incitement under the guise of democracy.
Fact Check: Did Nnamdi Kanu Incite Violence or Not?
Videos and audio recordings circulating online allegedly feature Nnamdi Kanu, leader of IPOB, issuing inflammatory statements that encouraged attacks on national leaders — including calls to harm the President and his family. These materials form part of the treason and terrorism charges he currently faces in court. Meanwhile, Simon Ekpa, another separatist agitator, has been imprisoned abroad for related incitements. Against this backdrop, Omoyele Sowore’s demand for Kanu’s unconditional release appears reckless and self-serving. If due process is ongoing, bypassing the judiciary for street theatrics is not activism — it’s self-aggrandisement that undermines justice and national security. Genuine advocacy seeks truth and law, not attention.
Forwarded – a lawyer’s post to me on Kanu’s case…..
This week, I learnt that MOST Nigerians still don’t understand where the Nigeria v Nnamdi Kanu case really stands.
So, I will break it down in the most basic form, so those of you who like to “argue” will operate from a baseline of truth.
The Federal Government has already closed its case against Kanu.
In the 4 years of “Why won’t they just try and sentence him?”, five witnesses presented their evidence and the judge ruled that Kanu has a case to answer.
So those talking about release are delusional.
The Prosecution is done.
The next step is for the Defense (Kanu and his lawyers) to open their case.
The ball is in Kanu’s court.
His lawyers tried to dodge trial with a no-case submission, asking the court to dismiss everything.
The court rejected it and said: “Open your defense.”
Those judgements most of you fail to read at the end of each court “appearance” are the only facts that matter.
You can’t claim persecution when the court is only asking you to respond to evidence.
And just so it’s clear, the Supreme Court already overturned the earlier appeal ruling.
So, do well, update your dated talking points!
There’s no legal barrier.
The only people delaying this process are Kanu’s lawyers, inventing excuses to stall.
The system isn’t holding him back.
His own team is.
The latest distraction is his health, which is why the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) was brought in to assess him.
Once that’s done, the trial continues.
The truth doesn’t pause for convenience or for your belief to catch up.
Those calling for a “political solution” or pushing for his release, whether influencers, “activists”, or self-proclaimed sympathizers are either playing to the gallery, chasing optics, or clueless about the facts of this case.
What’s worse is how most Nigerians have turned this into an emotional circus instead of understanding the law.
This is the most basic part.
Then, there are the politicians who are pandering to that ignorance ahead of 2027, exploiting sentiment instead of facts.
The test of intelligence is in the application of knowledge.
The information is public.
Your feelings don’t matter when the facts are right there.
Facts don’t care about your outrage.
So, for those who read but have a problem with comprehension, remember these basics!
The State is done.
The court says Kanu has a case to answer.
The Defense needs to stop stalling and face the process.
The show is over.
It is time to defend, not deflect!
Copied.
