Corruptible Justice John Tsoho |
It is imperative that the world is made aware of the level of impunity, mediocrity and folly that characterises the Nigerian judicial system. At this stage of the struggle for the restoration of Biafra, the very essence of the quest to restore the sovereign state of Biafra has been made crystal clear to all and sundry, especially with the various mass protests carried out by Biafrans all over the world.
The world needs to understand the innumerable reasons why Nigeria as a country, is utterly inviable and should be dismantled like a dysfnctional machinery.
Nigeria is a country formed on a mass of debris, a country without perceivable values, therefore no perceivable future. Nigeria would eternally remain a failed project as it is a country built on falsehood, courtesy Frederick Lugard. It has and will always remain an entity lacking in fundamental values needed to propel economic growth, socio-cultural advancement and most of all, human peaceful coexistence. The Biafra restoration quest is such a quest that has further exposed the iniquitous nature, the primitivism and the gruesomeness that is inherent in the Nigerian entity..
Nnamdi Kanu A Prisoner Of Conscience |
Nnamdi Kanu is a prisoner of conscience, he has remained in unlawful detention for over five months and has been denied bail on several occasions, even when his bail conditions have been fully met. He was charged to court but several rulings have been made, clearing him of all charges, but the Buhari-led government of Nigeria through its DSS has remained adamant and has refused to release him citing irrelevant reasons for his continued detention.
The president and his DSS had in the past 5 months disobeyed four express and significant orders of the Wuse Zone 2 Magistrate Court and the Federal High Court Abuja, bordering on Nnamdi Kanu's Human right to personal freedom, expression, association and above all right to life. Nnamdi Kanu was first granted conditional bail by Hon. Justice Shuaibu Usman of the Wuse Zone 2 Magistrate court, but despite fulfilling all conditions of bail, he was still held captive by Muhammadu Buhari's foot soldiers (DSS).
Justice Ademola was the second judge to order that Nnamdi Kanu be released unconditionally, due to the fact that DSS had filed no charge against him in any court of jurisdiction. Nnamdi Kanu's human right was exceedingly trampled upon, because the constitution of the Federal Republic Of Nigeria states that no prisoner should be held captive after 48hrs without charging him to court, but with Nigeria being governed by a tyrant cum former dictator in the person of Muhammadu Buhari, the opposite became the case in Nnamdi Kanu's situation.
When DSS eventually came up with a phantom treasonable felony charge, which states that Nnamdi Kanu belong, and is managing the affairs of an unlawful society (IPOB), after the case was assigned to Justice Mohammed Ahmed, in the Federal High Court Abuja, alongside two other Biafrans namely Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawusi, the leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra raised objection to that effect. He cited lack of faith in the judiciary, as several previous court orders had been repeatedly flouted.
After a long search of another judge to assign this very case to came to an end, Muhammadu Buhari eventually found a very corrupt judge – John Tsoho, who is willing to do his bidding at every point in time. Initially, judge Tsoho pretended to be fair in his judgement by ordering that Nnamdi Kanu be remanded in Kuje Prison, instead of the DSS torture dungeon. This sparked mass jubilation all over Biafra land and Nigeria, but little did we know that it was all part of Buhari's script, to make Judge Tsoho appear like a 'knight in shining armour'. This same character was displayed in his second sitting, when he outrightly denied DSS their request to bring in masked witnesses to testify against Nnamdi Kanu.
Judge John Tsoho revealed his true colour on the 7th of March 2016, when he rescinded his decision that masked witnesses will testify against Nnamdi Kanu. He wickedly transformed from a Judge to a prosecutor, by reversing the rulings of the previous proceedings in order to continually detain Kanu, even after the previous judges had found him innocent of all accusations. Such ruling was unheard of as explained by SAN Muoma, but his plea fell on deaf ears as Tsoho was hell bent on collecting the N100m and the position of Chief Justice of the federation as promised by Buhari.
On further investigation, it was found that this same judge has a track record of reversing previous rulings and judgements passed on by his very own self. He is a judge lacking rudimentary requirements to practice his profession, he is always willing to satisfy his pay master having prolonged the case unnecessarily.

Judge John Tsoho had previously declined an appeal by the prosecuting counsel to initiate a secret trial on the 19th of February 2016, but suddenly made a reversal on the 7th of March 2016. During the previous court session, he had refused to accept the prosecutor’s plea to call in masqueraded witnesses against Nnamdi Kanu. The prosecutor had pleaded that witnesses who would testify against Nnamdi Kanu, be masqueraded, in order to hide their identities, of which the Judge John Tsoho vehemently declined.
To the amazement of the entire world, the judge displayed an astounding act of ineptitude on the fateful day being 7th of march 2016, by making a reversal on the decision he had previously taken, which ofcourse is a clear signal of perversion of Justice, as such was unheard of as explicitly dissected to the hearing of those present in the court room by SAN Chuks Muoma, the defence counsel to Nnamdi Kanu.This bizarre act can only portray either of two things, it can only be described either as a display of incompetence, ineptitude, or a proof that he has been compromised, which has therefore created an atmosphere that is void of confidence in the judicial system of Nigeria.

Judge Tsoho turned around to accept that the witnesses can testify via a television screen and therefore the case was adjourned till the 9th of March 2016 to enable the prosecuting counsel provide the proxy witnesses. At first, the counsel to the federal government of Nigeria failed to provide his witnesses as against the decision of the last court session and hence made a fool of himself when he was expected to show the witnesses.
Then the judge, further aggravating the embarrassing scenario, opted to allow the witnesses transmit over a television screen, citing a similar scenario in Ivory Coast which practices a totally different system of law, which is civil law as against common law practiced in Nigeria. Incident for which the defending counsel – Chuks Muoma, had put the presiding judge, the prosecuting counsel and the entire court through a thorough lecture session.
Nevertheless, the Judge decided that the witnesses testify by proxy, hence adjourned the case till the 9th of March, 2016. It behooves on people of goodwill to speak to the conscience of Judge Tsoho, as he has only succeeded in bringing shame and disgrace to the Judiciary and himself.

With the current turn of events, one can now begin to visualise the level of corruption and insanity that pervade the Nigerian entity. If the court of law cannot guarantee justice for its people because of its staggering mediocrity, recklessness and lack of integrity, then there is absolutely no hope for the common man. If prosecutors have the ability to decide the outcome of a court case even before the proceeding, then there is something fundamentally wrong with that system. If the decisions of the Nigerian court of law is being influenced by the desires of the Nigerian state and its agents, then it spells doom for the citizenry as there is no justice guaranteed.
The Puppet Justice Tsoho And The Puppet Master Buhari |
According to Saint Augustine, "An unjust law is no law at all", and according to Martin Luther king Jr.,"One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws".....therefore at this point in time, the world needs to fully intervene in this matter before it results in a cataclysm. The international community needs to prevail over Nigeria and to caution its government on the reckless and ferocious way with which it is handling the Biafra restoration project.
It is high time for the masses to rise up against the atrocious nature of the Nigerian system and eradicate it wholly. Time to lash out at Nigerian Bar Association, for resolving to 'sit on the fence' while Buhari continues to rape its system. Incidentally, the only viable way through which this noble objective can be achieved is by throwing a weight of support behind the Biafra restoration quest, and calling on the Buhari led government to release the leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
Biafrans have for long remained civil, peaceful and reasonable in their approach towards actualising self-determination, hence they deserve a worldwide commendation and an unparalleled support towards achieving this objective. There is no better time to do the right thing than this very moment, because the right to self determination is legal and definitely not treason.

In conclusion, Justice John Tsoho, his pay master Muhammadu Buhari, as well as his errand boys the (DSS) must clearly understand that when injustice, which John Tsoho should be fighting against becomes a law, then resistance irresistably becomes a duty. Biafra restoration is not negotiable, this fact should sink into the deepest reserve of the consciousness of all her enemies.
