Nnamdi Kanu's preventable plight: How unskilled lawyers steered a high-profile case to a legal trap
By Ifeanyi Ejiofor
WHEN JUDGMENT TURNED INTO A SHOW: THE DEVASTATING OUTCOME OF CONVERTING NNAMDI KANU'S TRIAL INTO MEDIA CONTENT
I truly meant, due to extreme fatigue and out of consideration for the delicacy of this situation, to avoid going back over this story. However, the flood of calls, messages, and anxious voices from our community has made remaining silent no longer feasible.
I am therefore forced to engage in serious self-reflection, particularly as someone who guided this case for almost ten years, achieving significant successes, unshakable legal achievements, and enduring a long series of threats, assassination attempts, and near-death experiences. Throughout it all, Grace was my sole consistent source of protection.
Nevertheless, following Thursday's event, it has become essential to address the exaggerated theories, hastily created stories, and blatant falsehoods that are spreading rapidly online.
THE INITIAL REVELATION THEY WILL NOT SHARE WITH YOU
From 2015 until December 2023, while our team was managing this case, up until Prof. Mike Ozekhome, SAN, took charge of the legal team in 2022, we were close to achieving another significant victory for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, especially following the Court of Appeal's decision to discharge and acquit him in 2022. Continuous pressure, effective diplomatic efforts, and precise legal strategies had brought us to the edge of another major success.
Unfortunately, some sensitive aspects of this development were, maybe unintentionally, shared by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu with these ignorant individuals. Instead of backing a plan they barely grasped, they took the information as a chance to disrupt everything and secretly worked to alter the existing situation. As a result, we left the group, proudly, and with our honor preserved.
Let us speak plainly:
A prominent, globally significant criminal trial is not a spectacle.
However, once these overblown, delusional performers in wigs became involved in the proceedings, everything deteriorated into a grotesque imitation of legal advocacy.
Rather than developing a legal plan, they created Instagram updates.
Rather than understanding case law, they focused on camera perspectives.
During each court hearing, their main focus was not on research or preparation, but on posing, recording, posting, showing off, and "going viral."
In the meantime, the accused individual's destiny was precarious.
THE MOST SAD ASPECT OF IT ALL
Despite the court's clear warning that handling a complicated constitutional and criminal case without legal help was risky, these "consultants" promoted it, cheering like hired observers in a village square.
And thus, the unimaginable occurred:
1. A trial that might have been halted, or prevented from the start, if the correct approach and involvement had been utilized.
2. A belief that might have been avoided.
3. A result that could have been prevented, but was permitted to unfold under the direction of legal novices driven by the allure of social media popularity.
They forced him, either intentionally or unintentionally, into the brutal process of a complete criminal trial, knowing that other legal options were available.
Even as the trial continued, they occupied themselves with spreading false information, partial truths, and deceptive "updates" to an unaware audience.
Each false statement made beyond the courtroom turned into a trap within the courtroom.
Every over-the-top "update" turned into a contradiction that the prosecution eagerly recorded.
Each camera maneuver resulted in a professional humiliation.
And now, rather than feeling sorry, they have returned to their normal activities after the trial:
new videos, new lies, new false promises, desperate for views.
The sorrow persists as the vulnerable continue to trust them.
The Most Challenging Puzzle Ever
What led the most prominent legal experts, internationally recognized Senior Advocates of Nigeria like Chief Kanu Agabi, SAN, Chief Onyechi Ikpeazu, SAN, and other knowledgeable members of the Inner Bar—individuals deeply familiar with the complexities of high-stakes criminal cases—to step back at the most crucial stage of the trial, allowing average newcomers to take control of an issue of global importance and turn it into a TikTok-style legal spectacle?
Who substitutes top-tier doctors with traditional healers during neurological procedures?
Who substitutes strategic diplomacy with careless showmanship?
Who substitutes law with performance?
Only a framework that was previously getting ready for catastrophe.
Where Do We Go From Here
In order to initiate a significant rescue operation led by internationally recognized legal professionals, the initial step should focus on addressing the extensive harm caused by these self-promoting jesters. A thorough examination of methods, meaningful interaction, and a substantial decrease in media attention must come before any action is taken. Only after this can a clear, advanced legal and political approach be developed.
This is not the moment for humor.
Not the moment for exaggerated self-importance.
And definitely not the moment for social media drama.
It's time for clarity.
Time for competence.
Time for real advocacy.
