Trial of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu continued before a Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday, with the court admitting as an exhibit a series of video clips showing the Biafra nation agitator announcing the creation of the Eastern Security Network, ESN.
The videos were played in open court.
The leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) was seen issuing statements considered inflammatory by the Nigerian Government, upon which terrorism charges were filed against him.
One of the videos was tagged "Broadcast by Nnamdi Kanu," and Kanu was visibly seen addressing his followers on what he called “The Blessed Land of Biafra.”
He announced the formation of the Eastern Security Network (ESN), urging followers to defend their land against what he referred to as “Fulani domination.”
Kanu warned political leaders in the region against compromises and issued a directive forbidding the presence of Fulani herdsmen, stating: “No Fulani parading as herdsmen shall be allowed in our land."
"If you are an agent of the Fulani, turn your way this evening.”
The federal government, through its witness code-named PWBBB, claimed that the alleged broadcast of Kanu incited acts of terrorism across the Southeast during the period.
