Kanu Is Resting His Case On Case Of The Prosecutor, It's Dangerous,That's Why Judge Held Back

Liborous Oshoma, a legal practitioner, has stated that during Nnamdi Kanu’s trial in court on Monday October 27, 2025, Kanu told the court that he would not open his defense because there is no charge against him. He explained that by taking such a position, Kanu is technically resting his case on the arguments of the prosecution, which could be dangerous for him

In an interview with TVC, Oshoma said this means Kanu is allowing the court to decide his fate based only on what the prosecutor have presented. He stated that the judge, realizing the seriousness of the decision, paused the proceedings and advised Kanu to seek legal consultation before confirming his stance. Oshoma said the judge wanted to ensure Kanu fully understood the implications of his decision.

In Oshoma’s words: “Now he is saying that he cannot open a defense because there is no charge against him. What that means, the implication of that legally is that he is resting his case on the case of the prosecutor and that is dangerous for him. That is why the judge held back a little bit to say, ‘I’ll give you time to go and consult legal experts on this and after consultations if you still insist, then for fair hearing I would want you to write it down and give it to the prosecutor.
