Nnamdi Kanu’s trial resumed in Abuja as a DSS officer testified behind a screen, detailing his 2015 arrest and seizure of broadcasting equipment.
Kanu admitted founding Radio Biafra and defended his actions as peaceful advocacy for self-determination.
The trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), resumed on Tuesday at the Federal High Court in Abuja, with the court granting the Federal Government’s request for witnesses to testify behind screens due to security concerns.
VerseNews gathered that key witness, identified as AAA, a Department of State Services (DSS) officer with 18 years of service, testified behind a screen, recounting how he led the team that arrested Kanu at the Golden Tulip Hotel in Lagos on October 14, 2015.
According to AAA, Kanu was initially uncooperative, even headbutting an officer, and was found with broadcasting equipment allegedly used for Radio Biafra.
The defence, led by Kanu Agabi, appeared with a 22-member team, but Justice James Omotosho limited it to 13. Four Senior Advocates—Audu Nunghe, Joseph Akubo, Emeka Etiaba, and Onyechi Ikpeazu—joined the defence team.

During the hearing, the prosecution tendered both a list of seized equipment and a CD of Kanu’s interrogation, which were admitted into evidence.
In the video, Kanu admitted founding Radio Biafra, acknowledged operating without a Nigerian license, and said the station had international staff but none in Nigeria.
Kanu insisted that his actions were aimed at improving lives and emphasized that freedom fighting is not a crime.
He cited the UN Charter to defend his call for self-determination for the South East, South South, and parts of Benue and Kogi, stressing his belief in peaceful advocacy and freedom of speech.
