The trial of the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, continues before Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Abuja, with the prosecution tendering key exhibits linking the defendant to acts of terrorism.
Led in evidence by the prosecuting counsel and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Adegboyega Awomolo, the prosecution’s witness with code name BBB, resumed testimony, focusing on a petition allegedly authored by the former Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, SAN, and addressed to the Department of State Services (DSS).
The letter accused Kanu of terrorism, murder, and incitement to violence against Nigerian security agencies.
The witness read from the petition, which alleged that Kanu, through various broadcasts, incited attacks on police and military personnel, resulting in killings, arson, and the destruction of public institutions including police stations and correctional centres.
The court also admitted Kanu’s written statement to the DSS, dated July 17, 2021, in which he declined to make a fresh written submission, stating he had already said all he needed to about the allegations.
Prosecution counsel, Adegboyega Awomolo, asked the court for an adjournment until Thursday, May 8, 2025, for continuation of hearing.
