FG closes terrorism case against Namdi Kanu
The Federal Government on Thursday closed its case against Namdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), in the terrorism and treason trial ongoing at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
When someone "closes their case" in a trial, it means they have finished presenting all their evidence, witnesses, and arguments to the court.
This development came after the fifth prosecution witness, identified only as EEE due to security concerns, testified in court.
The witness was led in evidence and later questioned by Kanu's lawyer, Onyechi Ikpeazu, in a session presided over by Justice James Omotosho.
The government's lawyer, Chief Adegboyega Awomolo, informed the court that the prosecution had called all five witnesses it planned to rely on.
He noted that the evidence presented, including video materials showing the activities of the IPOB leader, was enough to support the charges.
Based on this, he formally closed the prosecution's case.
Following the closure, the lead defence lawyer, Chief Kanu Agabi, notified the court of the defence team's plan to file a no-case submission.
This move means they will argue that the government has not provided enough evidence for the case to proceed.

The filing will be done at a later date.

This case has been a complete waste of time. The FG turned the case into pure comedy of laughter. I'm glad that Kanu's Lawyers have saud they will file a no case application and have this case dismissed in its entirety

The judiciary should take a decision on his case ASAP. I don't even know the disparity between what he's going through currently and that of a criminal who has been sentenced to years imprisonment.

I guess all the years he has spent in the DSS custody will count for him if they eventually hand him some years imprisonment.

Only haters of truth and justice claim that Kanu is guilty of any of the charges laid against him.

What this means is that the federal government has finished presenting it's evidence before the court of law. it's time for the Judge to give his judgment

MNK indeed predicted a lot of happenings in the country presently. However, it doesn't absolve him of the responsibility for the violence he caused against civilians and security personnels

Specifically mention the violence he caused against anyone.

Though Kanu deserves every trial for incitement but you can't be trying IPOB but reintegrating BH.

So far, bandits and BH have done more havoc to this country than IPOB.

First eliminate Herdsmen killers before showing muscles on Kanu's case

Immortal you just want to argue otherwise you wouldn't say this. I believe you're in Nigeria and maybe the Southeast. If after spending all these time in the SE and you still don't know about the violence then it means you have a problem

Specifically mention the violence if you are honest. Otherwise, you have no point against him.

But why do you still post the news and you are commenting here

Really?
You're better than this. I was in Owerri when the violence broke out. Every one of us knew who the perpetrators were.
