Heavy Tight Security As Court Apear

MAZI NNAMDI KANU appear in the Court This Morning

The trial of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), resumed today, Friday, July 18, 2025, at the Federal High Court in Abuja, with strict attendance restrictions in place.

Justice James K. Omotosho, who is presiding over the case, approved a list of only ten individuals from the side of defendant who are permitted to be present in the courtroom.

The list, obtained by our correspondent, includes eight senior lawyers and two close associates of Nnamdi Kanu. The approved legal team features several Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs), including Kanu G. Agabi, Dr. Onyechi Ikpeazu, Paul Erokoro, Emeka Etiaba, Mela Audu Nunghe, Dr. Joseph Akubo, Uchenna Njoku, and Aloy Ejimakor.

Also cleared to attend are Hon. Obi Aguocha, a member of the House of Representatives, and Prince Emmanuel Kanu, younger brother to the IPOB leader.

The court session, slated to begin at 9:00 a.m., follows the previous hearing where the Federal Government closed its case, and the defense was directed to file its written address on a no-case submission within 14 days.

Today’s proceedings are expected to be pivotal, as the court continues to examine whether the prosecution has established a prima facie case against the defendant.

Meanwhile, journalists and members of the public remain barred from attending the trial, a move that has continued to raise concerns over transparency and press freedom in the handling of the high-profile case.

Nnamdi Kanu has been in detention since June 2021 following his rendition from Kenya, with his trial drawing national and international attention

MNK APPEAR IN COURT
COURT UPDATE 🔥🔥— 18th JUNE 2025
High Drama Unfolds at Nnamdi Kanu’s Trial as Masked Witness Testifies Before US Observers

The courtroom was tense and fully packed today, 18th June 2025, as the trial of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu resumed. Foreign observers, including senior officials from the U.S. National Center for State Courts, were present to monitor proceedings. All eyes were on the masked Witness 4, who continued his testimony under tight security.

The session began with both the prosecuting and defence teams introducing themselves. The presiding judge confirmed that the hearing would continue from where the cross-examination stopped during the last sitting, as Witness 4 had not yet completed his testimony.

The prosecuting counsel opened by asking:
"Was Benjamin Madubugwu detained in Abuja?"
Masked Witness 4 replied,
"Yes, both Benjamin Madubugwu and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu were taken to the DSS together. But Nnamdi Kanu admitted in front of us that he was the one in the video, and cleared Benjamin of involvement."

However, the judge firmly rejected some documents presented by the prosecution, stating angrily:
"This court cannot rely on these exhibits. They were obtained unlawfully—without allowing the defendant access to a lawyer during the interrogation."

In response, the prosecutor tendered a different document from the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC).

Prosecutor: "Can you identify this document?"
Witness 4: "Yes, it’s from NBC. They came to inspect a transmitter Mazi Nnamdi Kanu brought to the DSS headquarters."

Judge: "Does the defence have any objections?"
Defence Counsel: "No objections."

The court admitted the NBC report as an official exhibit.

The cross-examination continued.

Prosecutor: "What do you know about the transmitter?"

Witness 4: "From what I saw, it was clear that it was meant for broadcasting. But bringing a transmitter into Nigeria without government approval is illegal—and no approval was obtained."

Prosecutor: "Who owns the transmitter?"

Witness 4: "The defendant—Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Check Vanguard Newspaper, 3rd July 2023. It has all the details."

Prosecutor: "If I show you the publication, can you recognize it?"

Witness 4: "Yes, I can."

Though the defence objected to the Vanguard newspaper being admitted, the judge overruled and marked it as an official exhibit.

The prosecution then read an excerpt from that newspaper. It was a written statement supposedly made by one Uzoomma Benjamin, also known as Onyearmy. In the article, he claimed that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu had ordered him—through his superior—to kill 2,000 people. He said he managed to kill 30 but later regretted it.

It's important to note: the prosecution is using this as evidence based solely on a newspaper report, not through its own investigation—and the defence did not object to it.

The courtroom grew more intense as the prosecutor moved to the sensitive issue of the Owerri Prison attack.

Prosecutor: "What do you know about the attack on Owerri Prison?"

Witness 4: "It was ordered by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu."

When asked to explain his own role as a security agent, Witness 4 responded:

"My duty is to collect intelligence and report to my superior. I also carry out raids. During a raid on an ESN (Eastern Security Network) camp, I saw human heads, body parts—and members of the group were eating human flesh."

Prosecutor: "Have you found Uzoomma, aka Onyearmy?"

Witness 4: "No. Up until now, he remains at large.
