IPOB PRESS STATEMENT

MAZI NNAMDI KANU'S TRIAL: A GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY BUILT ON LIES, FABRICATION, AND MEDIA MISINFORMATION

20th JUNE, 2025

The world must take urgent and critical notice of the ongoing sham trial of our irrepressible leader and saviour of our time Mazi Nnamdi Kanu before Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Abuja. Yesterday, the 19th of June 2025, marks a pivotal moment in a case that has from inception been sustained by a toxic cocktail of deceit, media manipulation, evidentiary fraud, and a calculated campaign to criminalise self-determination.

Following the conclusion of cross-examination, the prosecution led by Chief Awomolo SAN has closed its case. In response, the defence team led by the eminent Chief Kanu Agabi SAN indicated his readiness to file a No-Case Submission, citing the total failure of the prosecution to establish any shred of evidence linking Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to any offence known to law, much less terrorism.

As a result, Justice Omotosho has adjourned the case to 18th July 2025 for the adoption of final written addresses.

But let it be stated with absolute clarity: what transpired in court yesterday was not merely a defeat for the government—it is a full-blown indictment of the Nigerian state’s reckless abuse of the judicial process.

Despite the courtroom being governed by restrictive reporting rules, it is a matter of public record that the last prosecution witness—PW5-EEE, a supposed intelligence officer—collapsed under the weight of cross-examination by the very excellent Dr. Onyechi Ikpeazu SAN. The witness was evasive, contradictory, and pathetically unprepared. So damning was his performance that even the prosecution’s lead counsel, Awomolo SAN, had to caution him in open court. Justice Omotosho was visibly exasperated and at several points compelled the witness to answer basic yes or no questions he was deliberately evading.

The government’s last gasp effort at propping up this collapsed case was a laughable attempt to blame Mazi Nnamdi Kanu for the ENDSARS protests—a grassroots youth-led movement that began in Ughelli, Delta State. According to PW5-EEE, the nationwide protest against police brutality was incited by Kanu’s broadcasts, and the government now claims—absurdly—that he was its mastermind. This desperate narrative is not just intellectually bankrupt; it is morally obscene.

Among the disturbing revelations in court yesterday:

No evidence of the so-called 200 security operatives allegedly killed in the South East was presented. No names. No ranks. No stations. No death certificates. Not a single human being was tied to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Yet this phantom claim continues to dominate media headlines, dutifully amplified by government-fed platforms masquerading as journalism.

The assessment report purportedly tying IPOB to security breaches was not even produced in 2020 when these incidents supposedly happened. It was fabricated only this month—June 2025, a staggering admission of falsification that should provoke outrage from every decent human being.

The autopsy reports and coroner’s certificates were unsigned, unverifiable and riddled with forgeries. The unnamed persons who “discovered” these phantom bodies were conveniently absent from the entire prosecution case. This is not law—it is fiction.

We are forced to ask: Why has the Nigerian press continued to ignore these courtroom bombshells? Why are media houses quick to publish every accusation made by the DSS or the prosecution, yet remain mute when those very accusations crumble under scrutiny in open court?

The answer is simple: there is a concerted effort to shield the public from the truth. But the Nigerian public is not helpless. The full proceedings of this trial—including witness testimonies, cross-examinations, and exhibits—are matters of public record. We encourage every Nigerian and members of the international community to file applications for Certified True Copies (CTCs) of the daily proceedings and see for themselves the shocking collapse of the government’s case.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is a man of peace. He is not on trial for violence. He is on trial for daring to speak truth to power and for demanding justice for a long-oppressed people. The government's case against him is not just weak—it is a monument to state-sponsored falsehood.

History will record those who stood by while injustice was clothed in the garments of legality. It will also remember those who rose to expose it.

The truth is no longer hidden. The records are public. Seek them. Read them. Share them. And let the world see what is being done in your name.

COMRADE EMMA POWERFUL MEDIA AND PUBLICITY SECRETARY FOR IPOB.

#FreeMaziNnamdiKanu

God bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.




God bless ipob members worldwide, the most peaceful freedom fighters in the world now.


God bless Eastern security network



God bless all lovers of freedom.

But let it be stated with absolute clarity: what transpired in court yesterday was not merely a defeat for the government—it is a full-blown indictment of the Nigerian state’s reckless abuse of the judicial process.

Wait for the judgement na, why are you in a hurry? Remember you guys also "defeated" Tinubu before INEC announced it's official results?

But you and I know the evil Nnamdi Kanu was preaching on his devilish radio station.

Haters of truth will not want to see this on the front page.

My suggestion is for them to mobilise their people to protest his incarceration now? Only to hide on twitter and be typing gibberish like lizards! I have never seen such cowards and Lilly livered soul in the history of this country ! Why are his people afraid of protesting to release him? I thought they said they are brave??

I know the truth he was preaching on radio.


I know the evil he was trying to prevent, example is terrorist fulanis herdmen attack.



Maybe na fake radio you were listening

Coward is the person that Left his name and tribe names, using the name of people he call cowards as Monika.

Which evil is greater than what Fulani herdsmen is doing to Nigerians in their villages? And your government has refused to do something about it. Instead your government of the day is even aiding and abating them. Ipob be una problem what a country.

The trial exposed my eyes to how shockingly biased some media houses, particularly in the West and North are towards Nnamdi Kanu

Then I remembered it was them that always blame any violent act in the East on IPOB

Many of these media houses only reported the prosecutions case. They never reported how Nnamdi Kanu's defence team dismantled the prosecutions case. Many of them didn't bother with cross examination of Kanu's defence Lawyers

All they were interested in was sensationalist headlines of what the prosecution claimed Nnamdi Kanu or IPOB did

It was an embarrassment, but I give props to the few media houses that their reportage was balanced

Haters of truth? If anyone here hates the truth na you Igbos who all of a sudden seem to have developed amnesia over the attrocious crimes of Kanu and his other criminal brother, Ekperima. Thankfully, the government did not forget. May Kanu and Ekpa rot in jail, never again breathe an air of freedom for all the crimes and murders and unleashing of rogues and evil on our once peaceful SE.

PS: I am full blooded Igbo. And there are millions like me who support the government on this one.

Of we're waiting for the judgment.



But it's important the public know what transpired in the court while waiting ,Nigeria medias only reports what DSS accused Kanu, but never reported what happened during the cross examinations.


They never report how DSS fell to prove their case how their witnesses failed upon cross examinations,how DSS witness contradicted themselves...


Example is when DSS witness testified that a guy called onye Army killed 30 people for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu because he was asked by Kanu to kill 2000.

During clause examination the Kanu's lawyer asks the DSS witness how he get about the information,he said that it was from vanguard newspaper, when ask by the lawyer if he believe everything he read from newspaper he said yes, then the lawyer asked him do he believe what vanguard news said about DSS invading Sunday Igboho house, the DSS witness said no i don't believe that.

When asked by the lawyer if they have captured or arrested the so-called onye army DSS witness said no.


Me" which means his allegation is based on what he read and social media or online"


He couldn't provide even one head from the 30 head the so-called onye army killed he couldn't give one name from those that was killed.






We know the reason Nigeria medias where only reporting Accusations by DSS is preparing ground for injustice which is why Ipob didn't agree with then and keep giving the words update on how it went in court.

Judgement by the court is based on evidence provided to the court in form of documents, witness testimony, cross examinations etc. It is not based on what the press reported to the public.

Lolz you can't speak for your Umunna talk more of your village



So no need asking you your state

Ooooh
It is a pity
Even though DSS did not bring any polling agents,
Judge Awolowo will sentence Nnamdi Kano to death.

Perhaps you are ignorant of all the evil statements he made through his devilish radio station. Here are some of them:
What of his hate speech?
Below are the violence inciting statements nnamdi kanu allegedly made;[b]

1. "...When we speak, the Zoo trembles, that is what happens when a cattle rearing terrorist and paedophile is your ruler."

2. "If you find anybody in your village asking after Radio Biafra kill the baboon Awusa Fulani or Yoruba bastard. Let them keep searching as we keep tweeting for #Biafra."

3. "Buhari is a shameless Paedophile and rapist."

4. "Buhari is a Terrorist he should be killed."

5. "Nigeria is a zoo and everybody living in that
Godforsaken zoo deserves to die."

6. "Kumuyi should be stoned and dealt with thoroughly if he comes to Aba for his planned crusade."

7. "The imbecilic Goodluck Jonathan is a disgrace to humanity and deserves to be skinned alive for handing over to an Hausa goat."

8. "By the time we finish dealing with the animals in the zoo, there'll be none left to tell the story."

9. "We are assembling weapons and we need some more money to thoroughly equip our military to enable us unleash mayhem on Nigeria."

10. "Niger Deltans are cowards; we know what to do to them. Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta, Rivers, Edo and Cross Rivers State are our territory and anybody who tries to oppose us will be crushed."

11. "Buhari married his wife after raping her several times, the records are there."

12. "No Ibo man should attend any Church where the pastor is a Yoruba man, they are criminals and fools."

13. "Nigeria should prepare for war, we are coming to annihilate you, my secret service are already studying the zoo and strategising."

14. "Its either Biafra or death..."
15. Kill Sanwo olu and Tinubu 2020 during End SARS

16. Igos are pigs and idiots

17 Igos women are prostitute

18. Sit at home declaration

There are allegations that your albino ohamadike is working for certain interests. how true is it?
Little wonder he was left alone to be broadcasting hate messages on radio biafra from the UK.

Go to Abuja and see posters everywhere around the Feseral High Court against Kanu, demanding justice for the policemen and other security operatives killed due to his recklessness.
