Nnamdi Kanu Faces New Evidence In Court: Shocking Video Revealed In IPOB Trial

The prosecution claimed these directives led to terrorist activities across the South-East. The footage, provided by the Department of State Services (DSS), depicted Kanu addressing his followers from what he called “the blessed land of Biafra.” In the video, he announced the formation of the Eastern Security Network (ESN) and warned against “Fulani domination.”

During the broadcast, Kanu declared, “No Fulani parading as herdsman shall be allowed in our land. If you are an agent of the Fulani, turn your way this evening.” He also cautioned political leaders in the South-East to refrain from compromise or face the consequences.

The prosecution’s second witness, identified as BBB, testified that Kanu’s speeches had incited coordinated attacks on police stations, correctional facilities, and public institutions, leading to fatalities and property destruction. The witness, who was led by Chief Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN), asserted that Kanu’s public broadcasts directly incited IPOB supporters to engage in violent acts.

The court admitted the video clip, stored on a flash drive, along with a certificate of compliance, as Exhibits PWA and PW1, despite objections from Kanu’s defense team. Additionally, a letter dated June 17, 2021, from former Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), accusing Kanu of terrorism and incitement, was tendered and admitted as evidence. Another statement, dated July 17, 2021, made by Kanu while in custody, was also accepted into evidence, where he declined to make further statements.

The courtroom session was held under tight security, allowing only accredited lawyers and observers to attend. The trial is set to continue, with more prosecution witnesses expected to testify in the coming days.
