The Federal Government, on Thursday, formally closed its case in the ongoing trial of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), over charges related to terrorism and treason. The prosecution, led by Chief Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN, made the announcement after the fifth prosecution witness (PW-5), identified only as EEE for security reasons, testified and was cross-examined by Kanu’s lead counsel, Onyechi Ikpeazu, before Justice James Omotosho at the Federal High Court in Abuja. Awomolo informed the court that, having presented five witnesses and submitted substantial evidence—including broadcasts linked to Kanu’s alleged activities—the government was convinced it had made a sufficient case and opted to rest its prosecution. “I therefore close the case,” the senior lawyer said. After the announcement, the lead defence counsel, Chief Kanu Agabi, informed the court that they would be opting for a no-case submission, which would be filed in due course.
