HOW NOT TO JUSTIFY ILLEGALITY AND INJUSTICE BY THE NIGERIAN STATE.

Mindset

It has become customary for the justification of the continued illegal detention of Nnamdi Kanu to make references to many killings in the South-East .Eternal rest to those killed in Igboland, and may the bereaved be consoled. But it is wrong and a cheap propaganda stuff to attribute those killings to IPOB, and by extension,…

IN DEFENCE OF NNAMDI KANU’S SELF-DEFENCE

Mindset

Suggestion that Nnamdi Kanu needs a lawyer to go through his defence on the charges of terrorism and sundry offences, especially from lawyers, is a regular establishment suggestion one should expect from any lawyer.This kind of admonition stems from a position of enlightened self interest.

Reading

Reading
