The ongoing trial of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, continued on Wednesday May 7, 2025, at the Federal High Court in Abuja.

The trial was marked by intense scrutiny of Kanu’s past broadcasts and a series of dramatic exchanges between the prosecution and defence.

Confirming the Wednesday’s proceedings, Kanu’s Special Counsel, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, earlier in a post on X said, “The Court has convened for today’s hearing of the matter of Federal Republic of Nigeria versus Mazi Nnamdi Kanu; and we’re all here stranding behind MNK.”Travel guides

SaharaReporters gathered that the proceedings started with the prosecution tendering flash drives marked as exhibits containing a series of past audio and video broadcasts attributed to Kanu.

The recordings, which were played in court, were said to have featured statements allegedly made by Kanu during periods of national unrest, including the 2020 EndSARS protests and various security incidents in the South-East.

According to reports, in one of the broadcasts, Kanu was reportedly heard lamenting Fulani herders’ attacks and accusing Nigerian governors of betraying the South-East region. Travel guides

He also reportedly made controversial remarks about prominent political figures, including Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma and former Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike, now Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The content of the broadcasts reportedly ranged from calls for self-defense to direct criticisms of perceived government failures.

It was gathered that a key point of contention was the interpretation of the broadcasts, as while the prosecution argued that the statements incited violence and promoted secessionist agendas, Kanu’s defense team, led by Chief Kanu Agabi (SAN), maintained that the broadcasts were political expressions protected under constitutional rights.

The prosecution’s witness, under examination, confirmed Kanu’s identity in the videos and attempted to link the broadcasts to violent incidents, including attacks on security facilities.

However, when questioned on certain charges, the witness itted being unaware that some of the said charges had been previously struck out by the court.
A notable portion of today’s hearing also centered around the 2017 proscription of IPOB.

The defense made no objections to the ission of the proscription document but pointed out that the ban was imposed through an ex parte order without IPOB’s legal representation.

The court was also presented with a letter from the former Attorney General of the Federation directing Kanu’s arrest, a document which the defence insisted was not initially served to them.

Justice Omotosho had earlier insisted that all evidence must be duly served to the defence in the interest of fair hearing.
The trial was adjourned to Thursday, May 8, for continuation of the examination of prosecution witnesses.

Whenever Nigeria is tired, they would allow Nnamdi Kanu go. They have nothing against him. The only thing that they have against him is that he is an Igbo man

They should just tell this empty barrel making the most noise content creator to stool down for an hour or so and allowed him.

These court processes have become a thing of cruise. Don't just fall into the trap of the Federal Government because these men would mess you up real big.

Sigh... How many adjournments?!! Since Buhari's tenure.

Justice must prevail

Hmmm... If the judgement is based on his past videos, the guy is gone!

That guy isn’t coming out of prison in a long time to come.

His judgement day is sooner than you think. His case will teach others not to talk recklessly.

You are right , we will be tired of him after shettimas 8 years ! He will sha pay for all the atrocities and damages he caused in Lagos !

The recordings, which were played in court, were said to have featured statements allegedly made by Kanu during periods of national unrest, including the 2020 EndSARS protests and various security incidents in the South-East.

This is the best and most civilized way to educate him that Nigeria is not a zoo.

Unlike him who acted like an emperor and summarily decided on who to die or live without the opportunity to defend themselves in his own court, the Federal Government of Nigeria is giving him full opportunity to defend himself in court.

FGN remained resolute and didn't fall for blackmail or attempt to turn a serious criminal case and unfortunate national tragedy into a mockery of tribal and political matter. The judiciary will do its job. Kudos to the patriotic and diligent judge for holding the court sitting daily to ensure that both prosecution and defense don't bring any technical delay.

All the victims of his alleged violent rhetoric must get justice. FG owes them that constitutional obligation.

All the victims of the coordinated arson unleashed on innocent people in Lagos and Lagos city during the politically motivated EndSARS arson on his alleged orders must get justice and be compensated.

All the enemies of Nigeria will always lose. They will lose las las. May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria for ever!

Court relying heavily on video footage for criminal and terrorism, but cannot rely on same for legislators defecting from one party to another.

Even during military we never had it as bad as now.

Nigeria is a sorry nation. The more you look the less you see.
