Kanu’s message came at a time when legal debate around his conviction has intensified, following sustained criticism from his lawyer, Njoku Jude Njoku, who insists the judgment was flawed and reached long before the case was concluded.
The lawyer argues that the conviction stemmed from the court’s failure to assess defence evidence already admitted during trial, describing the process as one where critical materials were ignored at the judgment stage.

He maintains that video exhibits involving notable public figures were central to the defence and should have been examined, saying their review would have weakened the prosecution’s case against Kanu.
The controversy has renewed scrutiny of the trial, with the defence insisting the conviction reflects deeper concerns about judicial fairness, while Kanu remains in custody as legal challenges continue.
