The Department of State Services has given details of how its men apprehended the leader of a group, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and operator of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

The DSS said, but for the tenacity of its men, Kanu who, it said, lodged in a hotel in Lagos using fictitious name, would have escaped arrest.

It also explained how arms and ammunition were recovered in the home of one of Kanu’s associates – Benjamin Madubugwu – at Ubulusiuzor town, in Ihiala Local Government Area, Anambra State.


The information are contained in a bundle of court documents filed along with a fresh six-count charge recently filed against Kanu, Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi.

A DSS operative, Temisan John, who led a team that arrested Kanu on October 14, 2015 at the Golden Tulip Essential Lagos Airport Hotel in Lagos said Kanu was apprehended in the company of a woman.

” On arrival at the hotel, the staff denied having Kanu in the hotel or having any knowledge of him even when shown his photograph. The hotel’s guest manifest for about five days were also printed and the name was not found on any.

“However, relying on accurate intelligence, the team decided to conduct a physical search on all the hotel rooms, leading to the arrest of Kanu in Room 303, where he was caught hibernating with a young girl named Maryam Ibezimakor, with all his broadcasting and communication gadgets set for use.
“It was then discovered that Kanu checked in under the name Nwanekaenyi Ezebuiro. He was subsequently arrested and taken to the command headquarters.”

Another DSS operative, who led the search of Madubugwu’s house, Mohammed Ahmed, said items recovered in the house located at Ubulusiuzor, Ihiala LG, Anambra State included “two pump action guns loaded with
He described them as ” one Emerald Pump Action gun, serial number: TS870-113-0046″ and “one Delta Magnum Pump Action gun s/no: 501.”

Kanu, Madubugwu and Nwawuisi (identified as a [size=14pt]Field Maintenance Engineer with MTN Nigeria Limited[/size] were to be arraigned on December 23, but Kanu stalled the proceedings when he told Justice Ahmed Mohammed, before who they were to be arraigned, that he doubted the judge’s ability to ensure fair trial in the case, prompting Justice Mohammed to withdraw from the case.


The judge, who was not averse to Kanu’s position, later directed the return of the case file to the court’s Chief Judge for reassignment to another judge.

Naptu2- What more can be said about a man that I've learnt much from, even if his identity is shrouded in mystery? He's Nairaland's resident scholar. I was drawn to him via his thread on Nigeria: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. That thread remains one of my two best Nairaland threads of all time. I recall how, during the electoral process earlier this year, he was accussed by supporters of both blocs of how he supported the other party. That shows his unbiasedness.

I truly hope to meet you one day, sirs.

Lost interest reading this from the very first paragraph.

I find our press reportage very irritating sometimes. "The former minister" this, "the former minister that". Wtf! Is mentioning his name abominable If na person wey steal chicken now, dem for make one bold portrait of am, type him name for capital letter den show us!

Rubbish.

Ishilove:
Naptu2- because he is Nairaland's resident Walking Enyclopedia. Very intelligent and matured fellow. He practically DRIPS of knowledge.

Well,i follow about a handful of NL persons but these few are my favorites.

1. Naptu2;

Naptu2 is an encyclopaedic enigma!
He's gives snippets of Nigerian History in such a way that you"ll feel like you'rebeen teleported in a Time capsule. All this while, the trip feels like he's feeding you gems of knowledge that ought to have been lost in the sands of time; albeit in a somewhat detached narrative.
Till today... he's one of the few members here whose persona is shrouded in mystery. He's been around Nairaland for sooo long yet he's existence seems almost unnoticed amongst the newer bunch of Nairalanders (I mean most of those who joined from 2012 till present day.)

Naptu2 is a Nairaland Veteran and a Legend... and I sincerely hope to shake his hand someday.

kannymoore:
The late Legendary Photographer, right??!

Is she related to him by blood?


*sigh*

I remember watching this man on TV when he was a little boy. He was so extraordinarily skillful in the use of xylophone. Perhaps, he might be the best player in Nigeria.
