APPELLATE COURT QUASHESCONVICTION, DECLARES KANU'S TRIAL A NULLITY | SECTION 36 VIOLATED

In a landmark appellate decision, the court quashed the conviction and life sentence imposed on Mazi Namdi Kanu, declaring the entire trial a nullity. The court held that the proceedings were conducted under an abolished law, meaning the trial court lacked jurisdiction from the outset. As a result, the conviction was set aside, the sentence erased, and the detention declared unlawful. The appellate court further ruled that the process violated Section 36 of the Nigerian Constitution, which guarantees the right to fair hearing. According to the judgment, a trial conducted without a valid law in force cannot meet constitutional standards, no matter how orderly it appears.
