A witness for the Federal Government admitted in court on Friday that no weapons of terrorism or violence were found on Biafra nation activist Nnamdi Kanu during his arrest on October 15, 2015, in Lagos.
The witness, an operative of the Department of State Services (DSS) known as PWAAA, also told the court that no dangerous items were recovered from the woman arrested alongside Kanu.
During cross-examination by Kanu’s lawyer, Kanu Agabi SAN, the witness confirmed that all the items found were personal belongings of the Biafra agitator.
While the items themselves might not be overtly harmful, the witness suggested that the intent behind them could be problematic.
PWAAA further explained that his role in the case was to facilitate Kanu’s arrest and secure his statement, not to analyze the items. When asked, he acknowledged that he had examined Kanu’s phone but said that the analysis report was not provided to the court because it was deemed irrelevant.
The DSS operative also admitted that over the decade since the items were seized, their value may have diminished, rendering them effectively useless.
He confirmed that no one had been brought before Kanu to confront him about terrorism-related issues. Additionally, the witness conceded that Kanu’s statement had been taken without his lawyer being present.
When asked about individuals facing trials for supporting the Biafra cause, the witness said the only person he knew was Simon Ekpa, who, according to him, would soon be extradited to the country for his role in supporting Kanu’s agitation.
