USA Africa Dialogue Series - Thought For Today

What should be done is not to take on Malami (Nigeria's Attorney-general) in verbal warfare. 

The right thing should be to get and examine the transcript of the Appeal Court judgement on Nnamdi Kanu(it is a public document), to ascertain whether the ruling was "discharged and acquitted" or just "discharged".

If the judgement was "discharged and acquitted", then Malami and his office are wrong and should be told to shut up. If the judgement is however just "discharged" then Malami and his office are right and the necessary legal arrangements should be made to meet the federal government in further legal tussles in this regard.

From discussions with legal experts, it is obvious that "discharged and acquitted" is different from "discharged".

We will however not know what was the case in the judgement under reference until we see the transcript of the Appeal Court judgement.

Thank you all for your time.
