Court admits videos as evidence in Nnamdi Kanu’s trial

The Federal High Court in Abuja has taken a significant step in the ongoing trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), by admitting video evidence involving top Nigerian figures.

Presiding Judge, Justice James Omotosho, on Thursday accepted a flash drive containing separate video recordings of retired General T.Y. Danjuma, Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma, and the Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Adeola Ajayi. The flash drive was formally marked as Exhibit PW-P in court records.

Additionally, a certificate of compliance verifying the authenticity of the videos was also presented and accepted as Exhibit PWP-1.

The materials were tendered by Paul Erokoro, SAN, counsel to Kanu, the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). The submissions were not opposed by the Federal Government’s legal representative, Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the three videos were played in the open court, and the FG’s witness, an operative of the DSS identified as BBB, was cross-examined by Erokoro.
