ECOWAS appears to be playing a major role in the latest crisis. By Ezinwanne Onwuka A diplomatic firestorm has engulfed Abuja, trapping the Nigerian government between a punitive U.S. Bill to punish officials who enforce blasphemy laws in the country and a binding writ of execution from the ECOWAS Court ordering Abuja to repeal its death-penalty blasphemy laws. Blasphemy Laws Ruled ‘Excessive’ In April 2025, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Community Court of Justice ruled in favor of the Incorporated Trustees of Expression Now Human Rights Initiative in a case against the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The regional court held that Nigeria’s blasphemy laws violate the right to freedom of expression. The court singled out Section 210 of the Kano State Penal Code and Section 382(b) of the Kano State Sharia Penal Code Law, both of which call for the death penalty for insulting Prophet Muhammad. The court dismissed these provisions as ‘excessive and disproportionate in a democratic society’, declaring them incompatible with Nigeria’s obligations under the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). It gave a marching order for Abuja to either amend or repeal the blasphemy laws and ‘other similar legal provisions.’ “The action challenged the consistent use or failure to prevent the use of criminal provisions bothering on the offense of blasphemy to arrest, arbitrarily detain, unlawfully prosecute, imprison, and impose death sentence on citizens by the Nigerian government, and failure of the Nigerian government to prevent extrajudicial kil,ng of citizens on the allegation of blasphemy which are clear violations of Nigeria government’s obligations under the ACHPR, ICCPR, UNCAT and other international instruments,” Solomon Okedara, the Nigerian human rights lawyer who pioneered the case, told TruthNigeria. Regional Court Pushes Nigeria to Act After nearly eight months of inaction from Abuja, the ECOWAS Court escalated the matter. On September 23, 2025, it served Abuja with a writ of execution directing the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), the designated Competent National Authority, to enforce the judgment delivered on April 9, 2025. The office of the received and has officially acknowledged the writ. “The enforcement of this landmark judgment will be more than a procedural act, it will indeed be a defining test of Nigeria’s fidelity to the rule of law, its commitment to human rights, and its respect for regional judicial authority,” said Okedara. At the June 2025 inaugural meeting of ECOWAS’ Competent National Authorities in Lagos, the court’s President, Justice Ricardo Cláudio Monteiro Gonçalves emphasized the binding nature of the Court’s decisions and urged member states to take enforcement seriously. According to Okedara, the writ service is a ‘procedural step’ the court uses to compel compliance with its judgment. “Implementing the ECOWAS Court’s decision is not merely about compliance; it is about restoring faith in justice as a living force within the ECOWAS community, one that transcends political borders and protects the dignity of every individual,” he added. U.S. Turns Up the Heat The pressure from ECOWAS comes as U.S. Senator Ted Cruz pushes a sharply critical narrative of Nigeria.

𝗕𝗶𝗮𝗳𝗿𝗮 𝗮𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗞𝗮𝗻𝘂 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 – 𝗜𝗴𝗯𝗼 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿, 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅 Igbo political leader Chief Okemiri Alex discusses the Biafra agitation, stating Nnamdi Kanu's life sentence will deepen injustice and not end the movement Residents of Anambra State Maintain Monday Sit-at-Home Despite Kanu’s Imprisonment Residents in Onitsha, Nnewi, and other parts of Anambra State continued to observe the weekly Monday sit-at-home, showing solidarity with Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, even after his conviction and imprisonment. Businesses, schools, banks, hospitals, and government offices remained shut, while streets were largely empty, reflecting widespread public support for Kanu.Some locals told Vanguard that the sit-at-home is a voluntary protest and not enforced by IPOB. They clarified that previous claims of IPOB-imposed lockdowns were misleading, noting that any criminal activity during past protests was opportunistic and not organized by the group. Obed Nwachukwu stated, “Those expecting markets and businesses to reopen because of Kanu’s imprisonment will have to wait. We are standing in solidarity with him until he regains freedom.” Chief Okwudili Okoye added, “The Federal Government’s assertions and the Abuja Federal High Court’s ruling lack credibility. The Monday sit-at-home will continue voluntarily to demand justice and fairness for Ndigbo. Normal activities will resume only when Nnamdi Kanu is free.” Residents stressed that the protest extends beyond IPOB, serving as a wider demonstration of solidarity with Kanu and a stand against what they perceive as unfair treatment of the Igbo people.

James K. Omotosho, has no authority to waive my constitutional right to my final written address, wherein I should have addressed all the issues. James K. Omotosho disobeyed the Supreme Court directives. I, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, was convicted on a dead law. This is not about Mazi Nnamdi Kanu; it is about the citizens of this country. Your apparent actions have misled many people, and numerous individuals are languishing in prison, having faced similar situations without knowing their rights were trampled upon. That is why I said evil ends with me. - Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. #JusticeForMaziNnamdiKanuNow #FreeMaziNnamdiKanuNow A viral report now circulating across media platforms alleges that the International Criminal Court (ICC) has demanded that Justice Omotosho provide the specific written law under which Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was convicted — or publicly clarify his ruling before it escalates into a global legal scandal. According to the circulating claim, Jay Shah, described as the current head of the ICC, reportedly warned: “No judge has the authority to convict any man without a written law. If such an action is taken, it becomes an international violation, and the world will demand accountability.” The report further claims that the ICC leadership is watching Nigeria closely, insisting that: “The conviction of Nnamdi Kanu without a valid legal foundation would amount to judicial of the highe#st order.” #FreeNnamdiKanuNow

The Federal Government on Thursday admitted that members of the dreaded Boko Haram sect and ISWAP have changed tactics. It said they had decided to be targeting Christians and Christian communities. The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said this at a press conference in Abuja on Thursday.

The minister’s position contradicted the President Major General Muhammadu Buhari’s (retd.) assertion in an op-ed article published three weeks ago in a United States-based magazine, Christianity Today. In the op-ed which was a tribute to the Michika Local Government Area Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria in Adamawa State, Pastor Lawan Andimi, who was abducted and killed by insurgents, Buhari had said that it was not true that Christians were the primary targets of Boko Haram insurgents. . #FreeNnamdiKanuNow

Global Coalition Urges US President Trump To Hasten Military Action On Te,orists In Nigeria #creatorsearchinsights United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, on Tuesday described the recent k,lings of Christians in Nigeria as “ge,cide wearing the mask of chaos,” spotlighting the growing threat of religious violence in Africa’s most populous nation. Speaking at an event hosted by the U.S. Mission to the United Nations, Waltz warned of disproportionate suffering among Christians, citing families torn apart, clergy repeatedly assassinated, and entire church congregations under attack. “We have an entire faith being erased, one bullet at a time, one torched Bible at a time,” he stated. The remarks were echoed by representatives from Open Doors, an international Christian organization supporting persecuted believers, which noted that attacks, historically concentrated in northern, Muslim-majority states, are spreading into the Middle Belt and southern regions. Militants, including Fulani herders and Boko Haram, continue to target Christians, often committing sexual violence against women. In response, the Nigerian government has rejected claims of widespread religious intolerance. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu stressed on social media that “religious freedom and tolerance have been a core tenet of our collective identity” and emphasized that Nigeria opposes persecution. The United States warned that continued attacks could jeopardize aid and assistance, underscoring the urgent need for accountability and protection for vulnerable communities.

ndigbo Not Surprised By Court Verdict — Abaribe Former Senate Minority Leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, on Thursday, decried the conviction and sentencing of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu for terrorism, saying however that the outcome was foretold and not surprising. In a statement to journalists on Thursday in Abuja by his Media Adviser, Uchenna Awom, the Senator described the life jail verdict on Kanu as a preconceived plot that is not surprising to the Igbo nation and other right-thinking Nigerians. Abaribe said he had envisaged the verdict when the federal government refused to factor in pleadings to extend amnesty to the leader of outlawed Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) “Is it not an irony that negotiations and peace deals with rampaging terrorists in the North-East, North-West were gleefully initiated by the local government, states and federal government just like the amnesty to ex-militants in the South-South, who were rewarded with lucrative oil pipeline contracts. This is to say that justice in Nigeria is not for the South-East,” he said. “So we are not surprised, our people can only endure and hope for a time justice in Nigeria would become the sine qua non. We have done our best, we have variously made the case for the authorities to be circumspect and at least accede to pardon for the sake of unity and inclusiveness”, he said. Senator Abaribe nonetheless declared that the Igbo nation is now left with no other option than to place her fate squarely on the desk
