To be real, having videos as proof in a court like Nnamdi Kanu's can totally shake things up, but it's not a guarantee for freedom. The videos got in because the court accepted them, and I’ve seen cases where stuff like that totally shifted things—if the videos show something strong like officials contradicting each other or proving Kanu’s side, it might actually help a lot.

But, and this is a big but, it depends on what's actually in the videos and how the judge sees them. I've watched a bunch of legal news shows where lawyers say you still have to prove the videos are real, match what’s being argued, and actually matter for the law. Sometimes the court sees it as just more background noise. Still, having that kind of evidence is way better than not, especially in a big political case like this.

So, can the videos get charges dropped? It’s possible, if they’re game-changers. But trials are tricky, and Nigeria’s courts don’t always go the way people expect. I wouldn’t count Kanu out, though—this is a major move by his lawyers.
