Logic and reasoning skills are key valuables considered for problem-solving or panacea into a heated argument over time as it requires critical thinking, evaluations and examination of tendered facts which aids in shaping decision making in all spheres of human endeavors.
Over time the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has reiterated his stand on the Biafra struggle calling for an open debate from any enlightened Nigerian who considers self well educated or doubt his resolve on the Biafra emancipation project to challenge him in an open debate and see how he will floor and carpet whatever argument the interested person is going to come up with and it seems they all declined to this humble request made by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu himself.
To us; the wider family members of the Indigenous People of Biafra it seems like that humble request from our leader - Mazi Nnamdi Kanu some years back calling for an open debate is coming to effect as the Abuja Federal High Court room of Justice James Kolawole Omotosho adamantly refused to grant the motion for "No Case Submission", and went ahead to demand that the IPOB leader should open up his defence line for trial after so many courts of competent jurisdictions in Nigeria and elsewhere had faulted the manner the Nigeria government brought him back into Nigeria to face inconclusive trials from a DSS solitary confinement under torture, habitual scoldings and vituperative tantrums constantly directed at his person violating his human rights and dignity.
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in his well calculated and articulated approach to solving heated polity issues before the court lists twenty-three witnesses as subpoenas to appear in person and to tell the court what they know and the evidences in their possessions that brought about the spurious charges levelled against him to face illegal trial.
Hopefully the court through her platform has granted an opportunity for this trial to be addressed in the open where all parties and individuals mentioned will appear before the court room of Justice James Kolawole Omotosho and, face Mazi Nnamdi Kanu eye ball to eye ball to present their prima facie and not a media trial and not a concocted news papers publications over time against what Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's struggle represents or intend to achieve with his non violence movement. Here are some the names Mazi Nnamdi Kanu listed if he's to enter defence.
=> Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (rtd.) – Former Chief of Army Staff will have to testify under oath on his remarks and the September 14th 2017 illegally invasion of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's residence and the chain of command authorizing the military operations codenamed "Operation Python Dance".
=> Minister of Works, former governor of Ebonyi State, former Chairman, South-East Governors Forum to testify under oath regarding his involvement in the rush and proscription of IPOB without following judicial order and its consequences using ex-parte order.
=> Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu – governor of Lagos State to testify under oath on the findings and results of the empanelled Lagos State #EndSARS Judicial Panel, particularly the Lekki Toll-Gate massacre, evidencing state pattern of repression of dissent voices.
=> Sen. Hope Uzodinma – governor of Imo State to testify under oath on his viral public video statements following Ahmed Gulak’s death and subsequent clarification which exonerates IPOB from State witch-hunts.
=> FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and former governor of Rivers State to testify under oath on the Obigbo Massacre following the EndSARS protests and the role of some of his security forces played under his authority.
=> Former governor of Abia State Okezie Ikpeazu to testify under oath on his knowledge and administrative participation in the September 14th 2017 Military invasion of Umuahia and gestapo arrests, killings of IPOB members within Abia State.
=> Lt. Gen. Theophilus Y. Danjuma (Rtd) – and Former Chief of Army Staff to testify under oath on his 2018 viral public warnings urging self-defence against government complicit involving killer Fulani terrorist herdsmen and militias that infiltrated armed forces or working in tandem with the Armed forces contextualizing our leader's stand and, advocacy for self-defence which led to the establishment of Eastern Security Network to combat the herdsmen menace ravaging the Biafra region.
=> Mr. Tosin Ajayi – Director-General of the DSS to clarify under oath on the public lectures and statements he made without being under duress advocating for a lawful community defence against terrorists and invaders, this is relevant to interpreting our leader's broadcasts on the importance of self defense to curtail the herdsmen activities menacing our people under the pretense of herding cows.
=> Yusuf Bichi Magaji former DG – DSS to be cross-examined under oath regarding his direct involvement and tip off in his extra ordinary rendition, forceful abduction and illegal transfer, fabrication of witness statements, and custodial abuses before he left office.
=> Abubakar Malami - former attorney general of the federation to testify under oath his directives and authorization connected with our leader's extra ordinary rendition and forceful abduction from Kenya to DSS solitary confinement against international law and practices.
=> Ahmed Rufai Abubakar - former DG National Intelligence Agency to testify under oath his operational and diplomatic coordination in our leader's extra ordinary rendition.
PRAYERS AND UNDERTAKINGS OF IPOB LEADER: The Defendant - Mazi Nnamdi Kanu undertakes to provide the sworn statements of all voluntary witnesses to this Honourable Court and to notify the Prosecution within a reasonable time.
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu respectfully prays this Honourable Court to issue all necessary summonses and witness warrants under Sections 241–242 of the Evidence Act to secure the attendance of the hostile and adverse witnesses listed above.
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu further prays the Court to note that the appearances of these witnesses is essential to ensuring a fair and complete determination of the issues before the Court.
In this wise, it is courageous to infer that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has turned the Court room of Justice James Kolawole Omotosho into a battlefield where gun and bullets will not be fired nor do the talkings rather logic and reasoning will be debated without coating facts.
Biafra Reporters - we sincerely hope that the names of those individuals mentioned in Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's plea for opening up his defense would dare appear in court to tell the court of Justice James Kolawole Omotosho what they know and what evidences in their disposition to try him and his Indigenous People of Biafra or whether they are facing State sponsored repression of dissent voices, unprovoked massacres, suppression of political ideology, subjugation of our people to neo-slavery, illegal incarceration, illegal summary execution, forceful disappearance and state persecution in a supposed democratic dispensation. The foundation of the Zoological Republic of Nigeria is about to collapse for logic and reasoning to pave way for new Nations to emerge victoriously.
