Nnadiume Awforkansi, a legal practitioner, has expressed concern over what he describes as a dual system of justice in Nigeria, highlighting the disparity in how laws are applied across different regions and ethnic groups in the country.
In a video interview with Signature TV, Awforkansi commented on the recent protest organized by activist Omoyele Sowore demanding the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). He noted that the protest gained traction quickly because it tapped into long-standing frustrations among Nigerians, particularly in the South.
According to Awforkansi, many citizens feel that justice in Nigeria is not applied equally, and that there are effectively two laws for one nation. He argued that the legal system appears to treat people differently based on their ethnic background or region of origin, which undermines national unity and the rule of law.
His remarks have sparked renewed debate about the fairness of Nigeria’s legal and political systems, especially in the context of ongoing calls for justice reform and national reconciliation.
He said,
“Two laws for one nation. The law governing the Yoruba Man for instance is different from the law governing the Hausa and the Igbo Man. The law governing people in the south is different from the law governing people in the North.”
