No Incriminating Evidence Against Nnamdi Kanu in Terrorism Case - Witness for DSS Testifies
Here's a casual, straightforward take on the whole shebang:
Straight up, the Department of the State Service (DSS) witness, code-named PWAAA, spilled the beans at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday. This cats out that no weapons of terrorism or violence were discovered on Nnamdi Kanu, the bigwig of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), during his bust at the Golden Tulip Hotel, Lagos International Airport back in October 2015.
Our go-to website tells us that the witness also filled the court in on the fact that no weapons meant for causing a ruckus were snatched from the lady who got busted alongside Kanu.
During the back-and-forth with Kanu's lawyer, the witness dropped that all the stuff they nabbed belonged to Kanu, and while it might not seem like your typical weapons, his intentions could be something dodgy.
PWAAA went on to say that he didn't give a hoot about testing the items because his task was to nab Kanu and get a statement from him pronto.
Now, get this—the DSS operative admitted that they did indeed check out Kanu's cell phone, but they didn't share the results because it wasn't all that important.
The witness further admitted that the items they nabbed have likely lost their oomph in the 10 years they've been sitting in a warehouse, rendered completely useless.
According to our website, the items they snatched and admitted as evidence are:
- Electronic devices: Black laptop, two multi-mix transmitters, two Apple iPads, two grey MacBooks, two flash drives.
- Broadcasting equipment: Microphones, microphone stands, and power-related accessories.
- Documentation: IPOB pamphlets and IPOB complementary cards.
Also, they found personal stuff like suitcases, shoes, belts, and various pieces of electronics, and even some luxury goods like watches, sunglasses, and perfumes.
The rest of the loot included bank cards, documents, IPOB-related papers, medicine, and various trinkets.
So there you have it, folks! That's what they got on Nnamdi Kanu. Wouldn't want to be caught with this stuff, would ya?
In the same vein, it was revealed that the items seized from Nnamdi Kanu during his arrest in Lagos International Airport's Golden Tulip Hotel in October 2015 were mostly electronic devices, such as black laptops, two multi-mix transmitters, two Apple iPads, two gray MacBooks, and two flash drives. Additionally, broadcasting equipment like microphones, microphone stands, and power-related accessories were discovered.
Moreover, personal items such as suitcases, shoes, belts, watches, sunglasses, and perfumes were found among the seized belongings. Luxury goods, bank cards, documents, IPOB-related papers, medicine, and various trinkets were also part of the loot.
In spatial contrast, the capital city of Nigeria, Abuja, was the location where the trial unfolded, with a DSS witness, PWAAA, providing testimony. The witness asserted that no weapons connected to terrorism or violence were found during the search of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
With the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu linking to the broader context of Nigeria's political landscape, the events have been documented in general news, policy-and-legislation, and crime-and-justice sections of various news outlets.
Lastly, the burgeoning scenario of Nnamdi Kanu's arrest and the items seized, along with the testimony of the DSS witness, underscores the intricate link between politics, crime, and justice in Nigeria, often appropriately referred to as Naija, an informal shorthand for Nigeria.
