Honestly, a lot of people I know are asking if the Nnamdi Kanu court session was even fair. From everything I've read and heard, there's definitely stuff that makes you raise your eyebrows. For one, the court had a really strict entrance policy, and the judge actually threatened to move everything online if lawyers and supporters didn't behave. Plus, there was a story of Kanu's relative getting accused of recording court proceedings and then getting banned from the next three sittings. That just makes the whole thing sound super tense, like they didn't want anyone seeing what was happening.
Then you have witnesses who, when asked specific questions about the charges, couldn't even name anyone involved in the attacks he was being blamed for. One DSS witness even admitted he didn't know the names of people who supposedly did these things “on Kanu's orders.” That doesn't sound very solid to me.
I wasn't there, so I can't say for sure, but from what I've seen in the news, it feels like there are a lot of questions about transparency and if both sides really got an equal shot. It's one of those cases that makes you wonder how justice is really served in high-stress political trials.
