The Federal High Court in Abuja has adjourned the trial of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, to May 2, 2025.
During Tuesday’s proceedings, the court admitted into evidence an extra-judicial statement made by Kanu in 2015, shortly after his initial arrest by the Department of State Services (DSS).
The statement was presented by a DSS operative who testified anonymously as the first prosecution witness, identified only as PWAAA. The witness, shielded from public view, gave his testimony from behind a screen.
