Emotions Aside; Facts, History, Constitutional Realities Surrounding Nnamdi Kanu’s Case – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Human Rights, Judiciary

The Nigerian Constitution is clear in Section 36(5): “Every person charged with a criminal offence shall be presumed innocent until proven guilty.” The African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, domesticated in Nigeria under Cap A9, reinforces it: No one shall be deprived of liberty except on grounds and procedures established by law.
