The trial of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has been adjourned to May 2nd 2025
Bellnews reports that the court had admitted in evidence, an extra-judicial statement Nnamdi Kanu made in 2015, shortly after he was arrested by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS).
The statement was tendered before the court by a DSS operative that appeared as the first prosecution witness in the seven-count treasonable felony charge the Federal Government preferred against Kanu.
The witness, whose identity was shielded, was simply identified as PWAAA. He testified behind a screen.
The witness told the court that he led the team of security operatives that arrested the defendant on October 14, 2015, in one of the rooms at Golden Tulip Hotel, Lagos International Airport upon his return to the country from the United Kingdom (UK).
The witness also tendered video recordings of the interrogations that ensued after Kanu’s arrest.
Four suitcases that contained various items that were recovered in the hotel room where Kanu was arrested, were equally produced before the court.
The suitcases contained personal belongings of the defendant, including equipment he allegedly used for his Radio Biafra broadcasts.
Trial Justice James Omotosho admitted the items in evidence and marked them as exhibits in the case.
Below are the exhibits FG presented to the Court.
