NAIJAONPOINT confirmed that a letter shown to him was a true copy. The letter, written by a former Attorney General, was officially marked as an exhibit.
According to NAIJAONPOINT , Nnamdi Kanu’s broadcasts “mandated his followers to attack uniformed men and police stations.”
NAIJAONPOINT read Kanu’s written statement, where MNK stated clearly:
“I will not make any further statements, oral or written.”
The prosecution presented a flash drive containing MNK’s alleged broadcasts. Initially, it failed to play, but was later fixed.
“Why is the international community silent on the killings of Ndi Igbo?”
“The military invaded my house… scores were killed, including my parents.”
“ESN is not the army of Biafra, it is a vigilante group for our people.”
“Self-determination is not a crime anywhere in the world. I owe no one an apology for what I’m doing.”
“If you are part of the agenda to wipe out Igbo land, you will be sorry.”
“Our daughters must move freely in their land… ESN is for protection, not offense.”
“Any security personnel who unalives us will be unalived. That’s the only language they understand.”
“We don’t want war, but don’t kill us.”
“Arm yourselves for protection.”
A voice was heard placing a N100m bounty on Governor Wike’s head.
Prosecution: “Whose voice is this?”
Witness: “That’s Nnamdi Kanu.”
“Sit at home and honor our fallen heroes… May 30 is for prayers and remembrance.”
Gunshot salutes were heard in the background.
MNK addressing Igbo leaders in the U.S.
“These bandits have never been proscribed…”
The prosecution presented the IPOB proscription order, which was admitted as evidence. It was noted that the proscription was done via ex parte motion—without IPOB legal representation.
