At the Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday, a Federal Government witness acknowledged that no violent or terrorist weapon was found on Biafra nation agitator Nnamdi Kanu after his arrest in Lagos on October 15, 2015.
The witness, a Department of the State Service (DSS) agent with the code name PWAAA, also told the court that none of the weapons used to cause public unrest were found on the woman who was detained with Kanu.
The witness said that every item was the personal property of the Biafra nation activist during a cross-examination by Kanu’s attorney, Kanu Agabi SAN.
According to him, the recovered goods might not normally be objectionable, but the defendant’s motive might be different.
PWAAA also told the court that he did not analysis any of the items because his mandate was to enforce an arrest and obtain a statement from Kanu.
In response to a question, the DSS agent acknowledged that they had examined the defendant’s cell phone, but the analysis’s report was not provided to the court because it was deemed irrelevant.
He acknowledged that the properties might have lost value and become useless during the ten years that the things were seized.
He went on to say that he didn’t bring anyone before Kanu to argue with him about terrorism.
The witness also acknowledged that Kanu’s counsel was not present when his statement was taken.
He acknowledged that he was unaware of anyone who had been tried by the federal government for advocating for the actualization of Biafra nation.
He claims that Simon Ekpa is the only person he knows and that he will shortly be hauled to the nation to stand trial for aiding Kanu in the agitation.
The witness claimed to have read about people supporting the defendant in the agitation in publications and on social media.
He claimed that he does not recall Kanu expressing dissatisfaction over youth unemployment, high-level corruption, and apologizing to the President for taunts directed at him and disparaging Igbo leaders.
The witness added that he was unable to recall Kanu’s statement that IPOB was a non-profit group that did not engage in armed conflict.
He acknowledged that there have been murders in various regions of the nation, particularly in the North, but that the administration has been making every effort to stop the killings.
The witness added that he would be unable to determine whether the murders were caused by agitation for self-determination.
