 Military judge suppresses Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s FBI confession in 9/11 case A military judge has excluded a confession that alleged Sept. 11 attacks mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed gave to FBI agents nearly 20 years ago, ruling that the statements were not made voluntarily. The decision is a setback for the U.S. government's long-running effort to prosecute Mohammed, who is accused of helping develop the plot to hijack planes and crash them into the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Mohammed remains detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, alongside other defendants awaiting trial. Lt. Col. Michael Schrama, the judge overseeing the case, scheduled a June 2028 trial for Mohammed and three other defendants earlier this week. In an order issued Friday that has not been made public, Schrama barred prosecutors from using statements Mohammed made during four days of FBI questioning at Guantanamo in January 2007.

 ‎If Govt Can Negotiate With Bandits, Then They Can Resolve Nnamdi Kanu's Case Politically-Femi Falana (SAN)

‎Renowned lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Chief Femi Falana has described the trial of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as a political issue that should be resolved outside the courtroom.

‎Speaking during a visit to Governor Alex Otti’s country home in Umuehim Nvosi, Abia State, Falana emphasized that there is no reason why Kanu’s case cannot be settled through political dialogue.

‎The lagos based lawyer, declined to comment on the ongoing court proceedings but reiterated his belief that the matter transcends legal boundaries

‎He highlights that governments holding talks with armed groups or criminal organizations while refusing to handle Kanu's case politically is irrational. It seems to him that negotiations of this sort set a precedent for resolving Kanu’s situation through talk arbitration but not court litigation.

‎”I cannot comment on pending proceedings. You understand me? Like you said, the case was on Wednesday but I believe that it is a matter that should be sorted out outside the courtroom," 

‎"For me, it’s a political case. And if you have a situation where some governments are negotiating with bandits or other criminal elements, there can be no basis for not having that matter resolved politically," 

‎Falana's remarks illustrate the dilemma that the IPOB issue presents and also applicable political solutions to designs for dealing with it.

‎His arguments are in favour of dialogue and negotiation on how best to bring about a final settlement between his native Yoruba people and Boko Haram, rather than relying solely upon the law courts.
