'Show me the law' - Appeal Court must answer question Nnamdi Kanu asked judge - Prince Emmanuel - Daily Post Nigeria

Prince Emmanuel, Nnamdi Kanu's brother, says the Court of Appeal must answer Kanu's demand to be shown the law on which he was convicted.

Prince Emmanuel cites Section 36(12) of the Nigerian Constitution.
