ARTICLE V: The Evidential Collapse: Sentencing Based on Conjecture and Unsubstantiated Claims

The final article argues the conviction suffered an evidential collapse. It asserts the trial judge based the judgment on conjecture and unsubstantiated inferences regarding the defendant's intent, rather than proven facts. The prosecution fundamentally failed to meet the strict standard of proof—beyond reasonable doubt—required for a criminal conviction.

ARTICLE III: What is the Nullity of the Process and the Bar to Retrial in FRN v. KANU | #article #what #nullity #process #retrial #kanu #legal #federal #court #nigerian

ARTICLE III: What is the Nullity of the Process and the Bar to Retrial in FRN v. KANU

The analysis concludes that the fundamental nullity of the original charge creates a permanent bar to retrial. Since the error was jurisdictional and not merely procedural, the entire process is invalid. Initiating a new charge on corrected grounds would constitute an abuse of court process, protecting the defendant from a second prosecution.

ARTICLE IV: What are the Limits of Sovereignty and the Foreign Actus Reus in FRN v. KANU

This piece challenges the Nigerian government's jurisdictional reach. It contends Nigeria's penal law relies on the territoriality principle, meaning it cannot prosecute an act (the alleged broadcasts) wholly committed by a non-citizen outside its borders. The reliance on the 'effects doctrine' to claim jurisdiction is deemed legally insufficient for this crime.

ARTICLE II: Was there a Substantive Assault on Nigeria’s Treasonable Felony Law in FGN v. IPOB? | #article #there #substantive #assault #nigerias #treasonable #felony #ipob #legal #challenge

ARTICLE II: Was there a Substantive Assault on Nigeria’s Treasonable Felony Law in FGN v. IPOB?

ARTICLE II: Was there a Substantive Assault on Nigeria’s Treasonable Felony Law in FGN v. IPOB?

This article critiques the misapplication of the Treasonable Felony Act (TFA). It argues the alleged actions—primarily broadcasts—fail to meet the high legal bar of a specific "overt act" required for treason. The charge inappropriately elevated political speech to the level of seeking to overthrow the government by force, a severe legal mismatch.

The article argues the initial charge against Kanu was a jurisdictional nullity because it was based on a section of the Criminal Code previously repealed by the Terrorism Prevention Act. The absence of a savings provision means the court lacked the legal authority to hear the case, rendering the entire prosecution void ab initio.
