Firstly, it affirms the opinion I publicly expressed in June 2021 that "something outside the law happened", with regard to the arrest of Kanu.
Secondly, it is an interesting judgment which explores the legal principle of "male captus, bene detentus"-
- bad capture, good detention. The judgment of the court is against the grains of judicial decisions that have emerged from British and American courts; and of course what I know of the judicial application of the principle in famous trials of Aldof Eichmann in Jerusalem in 1961
