The DSS and their hired quislings have gone into overdrive — paying cheap bloggers to ask one silly question:
“Why protest when Kanu’s case is still in court?”
Listen, that case is not “in court.” It’s in the grave for the following reasons:

1. Doctrine of Finality — The Madukolu and Abacha Wall:

Instead of ranting ignorantly online, go and read the Supreme Court Judgment on Madukolu v. Nkemdilim (1962) — you will find that once jurisdiction collapses, as was the case in Nnamdi Kanu v FRN (2022), the whole case dies instantly. In addition, we have another landmark Supreme Court case law in Abacha v. State (2002) — once again they reiterate that once an appellate court discharges a man on jurisdictional grounds, no other court can touch it again not even the Supreme Court. Sadly, not many lawyers and judges know about this in Nigeria. They ignorantly think a Supreme Court automatically assumes jurisdiction over a dead case, which is not the case. Criminal law jurisprudence is not the same as civil cases.

It is known as the Doctrine of Finality. It’s legal granite. When the Court of Appeal discharged Kanu on 13 October 2022, that was the end.

Any judge pretending otherwise is dancing on the corpse of the law.

2. Double Jeopardy — The Constitution’s Middle Finger:

Section 36(9) of the 1999 Constitution says once a person has been tried and discharged, he can’t be tried again for the same offence.
Period. No ifs, no buts. Supreme Court is not above the Constitution. This is the critical issue most ignorant legal practitioners don’t understand.

So what’s happening now?
A constitutional middle finger to Nigerians.
A retrial in any form is not just illegal — it’s criminal contempt of the Constitution itself.

3. Dead Law, Dead Case:

They’re still waving the old Terrorism Prevention Act 2013, which was repealed in 2022. That law is dead. You can’t use a dead law to judge a living man. But Nigeria’s judicial morticians are busy dressing the corpse for another round of lies. Justice Omotosho is a typifies your average Nigerian judicial mortician.

4. International Angle — Kenya and the Shame of Nations:

Let’s talk international law.
Kanu was abducted from Kenya, not extradited. Under the principle of double criminality, you can’t prosecute someone for an act that isn’t a crime in the country you took him from.

Kenya never approved the rendition.
That’s why the ECOWAS Court filings are a ticking time bomb. When that verdict drops, it will stain Nigeria before the world.

5. Sowore and the Streets:

Sowore knows all this — that’s why he’s marching. He’s not being reckless; he’s being righteous. The DSS and their colonial handlers fear one thing: public pressure backed by law and conscience.

That’s why they’re sending hungry writers to insult him online. But every insult only proves the protest is working.

6. James Omotosho Knows He’s Acting a Script:

Justice Omotosho knows he’s sitting on a dead case. Kanu showing up in his court isn’t submission — it’s respect for the institution, not for the fraud. This is something the likes of Senator Orji Uzor Kalu does not understand.
Justice Omotosho should summon courage and tell the FG the truth: this case is a legal ghost.

7. The Real Criminals

The real criminals are not in DSS custody — they’re the ones online twisting the law in broad daylight. They’re the ones ignoring finality, ignoring double jeopardy, ignoring the repealed Act. They’ve turned the Nigerian judiciary into a stage for political theatre.

8. The Verdict of History

Let this echo through every street and screen:
Kanu’s case is dead. It cannot be retried, recycled, or resuscitated.
Madukolu buried it. Abacha sealed it. Section 36(9) locked the coffin.

No propaganda, no panel, no puppet judge can open it again.
