Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s Court Update – 19th June 2025
Today’s hearing in the ongoing case between Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the Federal Government kicked off with both legal teams formally introducing themselves before the court.
Shortly after, the fifth prosecution witness, identified as PW-EEE, was called to the stand for cross-examination. However, due to strict surveillance by DSS operatives stationed inside the courtroom, live updates from the cross-examination could not be shared. This measure was taken to respect the judge's order against real-time reporting, in order to avoid contempt of court.
Despite the blackout, our sources confirmed that the cross-examination has been completed.
In a significant development, the prosecution team, led by Awomolo SAN, officially closed their case after presenting all their witnesses. In response, the defense counsel, headed by Kanu Agabi SAN, filed a No-Case Submission—an application arguing that the prosecution has not provided sufficient evidence to warrant the continuation of the trial.
As a result, Justice James Omotosho adjourned the matter to 18th July 2025, a date set for both parties to adopt their written addresses on the No-Case Submission.
We urge all Biafrans and supporters to stay calm, remain hopeful, and continue to stand in solidarity. The journey for justice is still ongoing, and we will keep bringing you verified updates as events unfold.
