Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has submitted a list of 11 witnesses he intends to call in his ongoing treason trial. The list includes prominent figures such as former Defence Minister Theophilus Danjuma, current and former governors, ministers, and top security officials.
The witnesses are:
- Theophilus Danjuma, former Minister of Defence
- Tukur Buratai, former Chief of Army Staff
- Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Governor of Lagos State
- Hope Uzodinma, Governor of Imo State
- Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory
- Okezie Ikpeazu, former Governor of Abia State
- Dave Umahi, Minister of Works
- Abubakar Malami, former Attorney-General of the Federation
- Ahmed Rufai, former Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency
- Yusuf Bichi, former Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS)
- Oluwatosin Adeola Ajayi, current DSS Director-General
Kanu’s decision to call these witnesses is part of his defense strategy, and it is expected that they will provide testimony that will aid in his case. The trial is ongoing, and the court has adjourned the case to October 27 to allow Kanu to prepare his defense.
The case has sparked significant interest and debate, with many Nigerians following the developments closely. The outcome of the trial will have implications for Kanu’s future and the IPOB movement.
