Court admits Kanu’s statement, broadcast recordings as evidence

Kanu

The trial of the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, continued at the Federal High Court in Abuja, with Justice James Omotosho presiding.

The prosecution presented more evidence to support claims that Kanu was involved in terrorism.

A witness known as named BBB, led by the prosecuting lawyer Adegboyega Awomolo, resumed testimony.

He spoke about a letter written by the former Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, to the Department of State Services which accused Kanu of terrorism, murder and inciting violence against Nigerian security agencies.

It was dated June 17, 2021, and was admitted as Exhibit PWF after the defence, led by Kanu Agabi, raised no objection.

The witness read from the letter, “He instructed, through his broadcast, that police and army seen, should be brought down and their guns seized and used.”

The letter also listed violent acts, saying Kanu’s words caused attacks on police stations, correctional centres, and public property. Vanguard
