SPONSORED PROPAGANDA ON NNAMDI KANU AND SOWORE

[Abraham Madu]

REBUTTAL TO WITHIN NIGERIA’S SPONSORED PROPAGANDA ON NNAMDI KANU AND SOWORE

ISSUED BY: COMRADE EMMA POWERFUL, SPOKESPERSON/MEDIA AND PUBLICITY SECRETARY FOR  INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF BIAFRA (IPOB)

DATE: OCTOBER 13, 2025

INTRODUCTION:

The so-called “analysis” published by WITHIN NIGERIA under the title “Political Solution to IPOB Impasse: Sowore and the Case for Nnamdi Kanu’s Release” is not journalism — it is state-sponsored propaganda dressed up as commentary.

Its author, one Afolabi Hakim- who should be more concerned about how Yorubas arr being chased away from their ancestral homes by Fulani terrorists and bandits- writes like a man clutching a government script, mixing insult with ignorance, and pretending it is objectivity. The piece reeks of the same intellectual dishonesty that has sustained five years of illegal detention and courtroom circus in the case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Hakim parrots half-truths about Kanu’s trial but hides the most important facts:

Justice Binta Nyako herself said in open court that the seven counts “do not disclose any offence known to law,” yet she chose to “allow the prosecution to show what they have in evidence.”

Translation: the charges are empty. The trial survives only on judicial courtesy, not substance.

The Federal Government originally charged treasonable felony but abandoned it and illegally switched to terrorism using a one-sided ex parte order granted in 2017 by Justice Kafarati — an order obtained in secret, without hearing IPOB, and in direct defiance of Justice Nyako’s earlier ruling that IPOB was not an unlawful organisation.

Every serious lawyer knows that a court order obtained ex parte against a group already declared lawful by another court is a nullity. Yet that illegal foundation became the platform for branding millions of unarmed citizens as “terrorists.” That is the original sin the author pretends not to see.

Hakim mentions Kanu’s “repatriation” from Kenya as if it was routine extradition. It was extraordinary rendition — an international crime.

No warrant, no process, no treaty procedure — just an abduction in violation of both Kenyan and Nigerian law.

Every civilised nation recognises that a trial built on an illegal capture is itself tainted.

The Court of Appeal acknowledged this when it discharged Kanu on October 13 2022.

The Supreme Court’s later decision to allow trial continuation on December 15 2023 did not legalise the crime of rendition; it merely permitted proceedings to resume while Nigeria’s violations remain unresolved.

Hakim’s silence on this is not oversight; it is complicity.

Comparing Kanu to Simon Ekpa: A Lazy Lie:

Only a hack would compare two completely unrelated legal realities:

Ekpa was tried in Finland under Finnish law for offences committed on Finnish soil.

Kanu is being tried in Nigeria for speeches allegedly made outside Nigeria, with no evidence linking him personally to any act of violence.

Even the prosecution witnesses under oath — PW2 and PW3 — could not identify a single violent act directed or ordered by Kanu.

That is why the government keeps shifting its theory of the case like a drunk man groping in the dark.

If this was an “open and shut” case as Hakeem claims, why has Nigeria’s billion-naira prosecution team not finished it long ago.

Instead, we have five years of adjournments, charge amendments, disobedience to court orders, and illegal detentions in a secret DSS cell.

Delay is not proof of guilt — it is proof of state incompetence and malice.

Smearing Sowore Shows Fear, Not Strength:

Hakim’s attack on Omoyele Sowore for demanding Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s release exposes the establishment’s terror of peaceful activism.

Sowore’s call is grounded in law and morality: when a government can’t prove its case, it must either prosecute properly or release the accused.

Peaceful marches, lawful protests and civic mobilisations are rights guaranteed under Sections 39 and 40 of the Nigerian Constitution.

Calling them “reckless” is how dictatorships start.

The Proscription of IPOB Scam:

The writer hides the dirty truth about the IPOB proscription:

It was done behind closed doors in 2017 through a secret ex parte motion, without giving IPOB a chance to defend itself.

That order contradicted a subsisting Federal High Court judgment that had already ruled IPOB was not an unlawful society.

Even worse, the government used that illegal order to change the entire case from treason to terrorism.

That is textbook abuse of process. And because the order’s validity is still being challenged, it cannot be the basis for detaining anyone.

The Talk of “Remorse” Is Absurd:

Hakim’s sermon that Kanu “must show remorse” is laughable.

Remorse comes after conviction, not before trial.

Demanding an apology from a man the state has not lawfully proven guilty is the clearest sign that the government — and its media errand boys — have no evidence, only propaganda.

This entire smear campaign is part of the same old playbook:

demonise the victim, hide the government’s crimes, and drown the public in emotional blackmail.

But Nigerians are not fools.

They know that:

The army’s invasion of Kanu’s home in 2017 was unlawful.

His kidnapping from Kenya violated international law.

The Court of Appeal’s discharge remains a binding judicial record.

The charges before Justice Nyako disclose no known offence in Nigerian law.

No amount of media distortion can erase those facts.

The Real “Political Solution”:

A political solution is not weakness — it is wisdom.

The Constitution empowers the Attorney-General to discontinue any case in the public interest (nolle prosequi).

It empowers the President to grant clemency or amnesty.

Successive governments have used these powers for armed militants and even confessed terrorists.

Using them for a political prisoner who has already spent years in detention without conviction is not charity — it is justice delayed.

The Verdict on Afolabi Hakim and His Likes:

Afolabi Hakim is not an analyst; he is an echo chamber for power.

His article is filled with reckless adjectives — “barbarism,” “tyranny,” “nefarious” — but zero evidence, zero law, and zero integrity.

If propaganda could win court cases, the DSS would have secured conviction years ago.

But law requires proof, not press releases.

You Can’t Bury the Truth:

Every lie told about Mazi Nnamdi Kanu eventually collapses under its own weight.

From the illegal proscription to the unlawful rendition, from the fake charges to the endless trial, the state has built its case on sand.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s demand is simple: follow the law.

Sowore’s campaign is simple: do the right thing.

And our message to hired hacks like Afolabi Hakim is equally simple: Nigeria’s conscience is not for sale.

Not sure what you’re driving at - but Nnamdi Kanu was a complete terrorist. 

Complete. 

All this verbal gymnastics will it change a jot of what I heard with my own ears - read with my own eyes. 

If he’s repentant, that’s a different story. 

But to try to portray him as innocent, that’s taking it too far.

Thank you, Kenobi. 

If all Igbos had your perspective, there'd be no need for arguments with other Nigerians. 

There are some fair-minded Igbos who are balanced in their comments and judgments, like Charles Soludo, the Governor of Anambra State. 

Bad people exist in every ethnicity, so it's puzzling that some supposedly well-educated Igbos try to cover up Nnamdi Kanu's actions.

Nwana dk.There is a difference between Separatists with or without violence as in Odua land vs  marginalisatiom developing into 

insurgency which is the  violent expression of secessionist intention as in SE

There is no terrorism in Africa which is political violence with no possibility of attaining a political objective as in Europe 

Between Separatism and Insurgency,there is room for negotiation for political winwin end  state 

In Africa,the regimes  in power go for win lose

This is different from negotiations with criminals and Bandits.iw

[Kayode Adebayo]

General Ishola Williams:

"There is no terrorism in Africa which is political violence with no possibility of attaining a political objective as in Europe"  --- General Ishola Williams 

A terrorist is a terrorist and Nnamdi Kanu is a terrorist. He uses violence against the government of Nigeria and its people to demand separation of South East from Nigeria. You're wrong. There is terrorism in Africa and particularly Nigeria with the emergence of terrorists like Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB and ESN, advocating separation of Southeast though violent means. Same thing as Boko Haram. He has killed thousands of Nigerians with his terrorism using IPOB and ESN. Terrorism doesn't have to have a possibility of attaining an objective. All it takes for an act to be terrorism is the use of violence to achieve a goal. Period.

Unfortunately, you don't know that.

Kayode 

[Nebukadineze Adiele]

Imperial Wizard,

I narrowed you down aptly -- like the typical white establishment that cuddles simplistically thinking black people who publicly say what white people privately think/say about black people. Bantus like Kemi Badenoch, Clarence Thomas, etc., are examples. You applaud Obi Kenobi (who is allegedly Igbo) because he deployed simplistic utterances that align with your unjust condemnation of Nnamdi Kanu.  

Kenobi has every right to feel the way he feels, and to be wrong feeling it; he has not claimed to being an expert on Nnamdi Kanu or on terrorism, he merely expressed his position from two subjective angles -- what he read and what he heard, not anything he witnessed. No objective person would declare someone a terrorist simply from reading the person's writings or speeches, unless the definition of terrorism is different in Nigeria or Kenobi is being another Nigerian simpleton who deviates from the truthful standard of measuring things, especially things on anything that affects Igbo. You, Imperial Wizard, are being a counterfeit white racist by deploying white folks' divide and conquer tactics. Kenobi is Igbo, therefore Kanu is a terrorist because Kenobi has said so, right? That is dumb, even for the already dumb Nigerians; try another tired, trashed, and discredited trick. 

By the way, I don't get mails from Kenobi, he probably posts only on the forums that I don't belong. Nevertheless, it seems to me that he flames up and quenches effortlessly like a teenager. Two days go, I read SteveK (after having not read from him in over three years) appear to have neutralized a claim that Kenobi made on religion. I had debunked that dishonest and illogical claim of SteveK's not too long before he disappeared from the forums, but Kenobi could not even respond to SteveK's silly impeachment of his claim. What was the point to Kenobi's initial thought if SteveK could appear to have neutralized it without Kenobi responding at all? If Kenobi is unenlightened enough to know that SteveK's argument is not just unscientific, but also a distortion of what he (SteveK) was referencing, then Kenobi certainly has to be abjectly uninformed enough to comment on a complicated situation like Nnamdi Kanu and the Nigerian state. The persecution of Kanu is a metaphor for how the Nigerian state persecutes the Igbo, any Igbo who doesn't see or recognize it is either childish, not an Igbo who knows Nigeria, or is a sellout like Kemi Badenoch and Clarence Thomas.

Pathological Liar And Tribalistic Ghost Called Nebukadimonkey Adiele:

"By the way, I don't get mails from Kenobi, he probably posts only on the forums that I don't belong." --- Liar And Tribalist Called Nebukadimonkey Adiele 

Obi Kenobi is Igbo like you, you tribalist and pathetic liar from Mbaise Bush called Nebukadimonkey Adiele. Whenever your fellow Igbo proves you wrong and exposes your ribalistic tendency, you claim that you don't know them or receive mails from them, in order to divert people's attention from them. It's you that doesn't understand the meaning of terrorism, not Obi Kenobi. Your terrorist leader called Nnamdi Kanu has all the characteristics and attributes of a terrorist. He organizes violence against the Nigerian government and its people and kills people with his IPOB and ESN terrorist organization with the aim of seceding Southeast from Nigeria. That's all it takes to make a person terrorist. 

Unfortunately, you don't know that, because you are a terrorist and a tribalist, you idiot from Mbaise Bush.

You're a shame and an utter disgrace to your Igboland.

Fellow Nigerians:

Nebukadimonkey Adiele is an IPOB member and terrorist. He sends money to Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB on monthly basis.

Why do you always present your own testimonial negatively? 

So, Kenobi, an Igbo man who does self-appraisal and points out what's wrong with his Igbo people isn't honest? 

Do you think a discerning non-Igbo man who reads all this rubbish you spew will ever suggest a bigot like you for a national assignment?    

Please, upgrade yourself; leave Abraham Madu's mentality behind.

Fellow Nigerians:

[Nebukadineze Adiele]

Kayode Adebammuọjọ is pathetically stupid, he does not reason before he utters things and he has no shame in saying stupid things. You, Imperial Wizard, are an unjust human being who deploys lies, gossips, and propaganda to denying justice and equal treatment to your fellow human beings.  

If I belonged to IPOB, I would announce it and be proud of it. IPOB is not militant enough for me in terms of exiting Nigeria, that is why I abhor their actions. Their actions only hurt the young folks following them without having any chance of getting them Biafra, therefore their action is stupid, juvenile, and self-sabotaging -- Nebukadineze can never engage in such a stupidity. I can write a thesis on how to secede from Nigeria, and it will be simple -- wage a war against Nigeria and win that war, anything short of it is stupid and an unnecessary endangering of young folks' lives. Since IPOB has no army and no weapons with which to wage wars, win wars over Nigeria, etc., it cannot succeed in seceding from Nigeria. In addition, I don't want a new country that will reside inside Nigeria, as Lesotho and Eswatini are surrounded by South Africa; I want a Biafra that encompasses all of the former Eastern Region, Igbo portions of the Mid-Western Region, and most parts of the Middle Belt; this has to be obtained through political dialogue and compromise or by force. Without an army that can accomplish the annexation, should the political dialogue and  compromise fail, seceding from Nigeria will be suicidal and more stupid than the 1967 attempt. 

You and the Deranged Ape are being childish in ascribing IPOB to Nebu, that is an insult because I am too sophisticated for their movement. My defense is not their movement, which gives the Nigerian state the cover to committing atrocities in Igbo land and getting away with doing so -- by blaming IPOB -- my defense is their right to protesting without their protests construed as terrorism by the real terrorists -- the Nigerian state and some Nigerians like Imperial Wizard and Deranged Ape Kayode Adebammuọjọ. 

I prefer a united Nigeria where justice and equal treatment are meted out to all citizens, but I am not opposed to secession if a just Nigeria is unachievable. For me to embark on secession, I must ensure that I will defeat Nigeria in a war; I will not repeat the mistake of 1967. IPOB is repeating 1967, that is dumb and that is why I disagree with them.

[Nebukadineze Adiele]

Imperial Wizard,

Unless you are a habitual liar, you need to upgrade your reading comprehension or save yourself from the disgrace of seeming semi-literate -- a commonality with Igbophobes on these forums. Nowhere did I state or imply that Kenobi is dishonest; my second paragraph clearly stated my position on him -- he is entitled to his belief about Kanu, whether right or wrong; he did not witness the allegation he heaped on Nnamdi Kanu; he deployed the subjectivity of using Kanu's speeches and writing to concluding that Kanu is a terrorist, etc. I drew those conclusions based on what Kenobi wrote, which you mischievously supported. 

Keep on lying, you are diminishing yourself, not Nebu.

Dear All:

The above quote makes more sense to me than any other piece I have read on

the issue about whether or not Nigeria ana or should remain as a united country, notwithstanding

that our 'tribes, tongues, customs and cultures' differ in too many ways than the average

Nigerian can imagine. The corollary to these differences is the fact that we have many more in

common than what divides us.

I think the above quote also sums up my opposition during the Odua'a Nation protests

which reached its peak about 3 or 4 years ago.

Folks, Nigeria is here to stay. 

Our duty is to make her work more efficiently so that she could

provide most or all of the amenities that ordinary citizens of progressive nations 

through out the world enjoy and take for granted.

I do not foresee any region or ethnic group in Nigeria being able to survive as an independent

nation. We are too intricately intertwined for such balkanization into banana

republics to succeed. 

Secession of any region of Nigeria can only be achieved through military means. The

price we would pay for such dangerous experiment might end up being worse

than the human costs and ruins left in the former eastern region of Nigeria after the 1967-70 Civil War.

What I truly can not understand about my fellow Nigerians and humanity in general is this fixation on ethnicity,

race, nationality etc. when in fact we had no role into which family, village, town or city anywhere

in the world we were born into. 

If India, a nation of 1.2 billion human beings also with many ethnic groups and languages and dialects

like Nigeria could thrive why not Nigeria.

Country comparison: India / Nigeria

The chances of Odua'a Republic or Republic of Biafra emerging from today's Nigeria is over 1000 times lower

than witnessing the first settlement of human beings on Planet Mars in our lifetime.

Bye,

Ola

GIW,

It seems the grey area here is what you define as terrorism. Terrorism and the common definition is threat or act of terror to achieve a political goal. Simple.

What you now need to test are two things to define a terrorist or terrorist group.

1. Was terror threatened by an individual or group e.g. IPOB to achieve a political goal?

2. Was act of terror perpetrated by an individual or group e.g. IPOB to achieve a political goal?

If your answer to any or either of the above questions is YES, then the individual or group is classified as a terrorist group.

Simply the threat of unleashing terror without the actual act of terror qualifies the individual or group as a terrorist. Terror include intimidation, threat and act of unleashing mayhem forcefully all constitutes terror acts. Not just the act of armed conflict, combat, guerilla warfare or bombing. They are all act of terror, different sides of the same coin

[Nebukadineze Adiele]

Dr Kassim,

I endorse 90% of your position below. I shave off 10% because, in nature, one can never say never. You have always held your stand on an indivisible Nigeria since I met you on Nigeria-wide forums in the late 1990s; that longevity of having never deviated from it proves the authenticity of your mind on that subject matter. When necessary, you joined in warding off Yoruba tribalists, Igbo chronic secessionists, Edo culture-supremacists, etc. You have always failed to hold the North, especially Fulani, to task -- not because you are afraid of them, but because you patronize them, as if they are children or fragile. Sometimes you get confused by Yoruba tribalists to the point that you inadvertently stray away from your anti-tribalism plane, but the great thing is that you almost always self correct, sometimes even before anyone else noticed the straying away. 

For years here, I thought that Imperial Wizard was of your type; today, he either has been corrupted or he has always been a hypocrite. This hypocrisy has been the gravest obstacle to building a workable One Nigeria.

I am just arriving back from my village in Nigeria, 

(NOT FOR ANOTHER REPETITIVE HABITUAL BURIAL OF A LONG-LONG-AGO KPAI OF A FATHER AS YOU ALWAYS LIE TO US WHENEVER YOU GO TO LAGOS INSTEAD OF YOUR HOME VILLAGE IN IMO STATE).

Anyway sa,

HOW THE FUCK or HELL ARE YOU?

I hope you've been keeping peace with your SUPERIORS in these fora, avoiding being tagged with a new adjective. 

Mr. Kayode Adebayo had almost used up every descriptive description of who you are that he could find in King Charley's Inglis dictionaries.

Guess what?

I am baaaaaack.

.... Jerome

Oga JNY,

Welcome back jare!

The reasonable ones on these fora surely missed you and I, personally, hope you had a blast out there, in that country that is managing its diversity well.

Regards,

Femi Olajide
