The trial of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), took a dramatic turn on Friday as Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja ordered court proceedings to be temporarily relocated to the Department of State Services (DSS) headquarters.
The move was made to facilitate an on-site inspection of critical evidence linked to the case—specifically, a shipping container reportedly used to import a radio transmitter into Nigeria for broadcasts on Radio Biafra.
The judge and the legal teams travelled to the DSS facility to examine the container, which is considered central to the allegations against Kanu.
According to court sources, the transmitter in question was allegedly used by Kanu for IPOB-related broadcasts prior to his arrest.
The inspection marks a significant development in the high-profile case and could influence the trajectory of the trial moving forward. Further court proceedings are expected to continue following the inspection.
