A prosecution witness in the ongoing trial of Nnamdi Kanu,
the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has said the Biafra
agitator confirmed making a broadcast in which he called for the killings of
President Bola Tinubu and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom
Wike.
The witness said Kanu made a broadcast where he announced a
N100 milion bounty for Wike’s head while calling for the burning of all
Tinubu’s assets.
The second prosecution witness disclosed this while being
led in evidence by prosecuting lawyer, Adegboyega Awomolo at the Abuja Federal
High Court on Wednesday.
He informed the court that the IPOB leader made the
confirmation while his statement was being taken on July 17, 2021.
Shortly after the witness identified copies of Kanu’s
recorded broadcast, which were saved on a flash drive, the court admitted them
into evidence, following which they were played in court.
The recorded broadcasts, seven in all, were played in the
open court.
In the broadcast made on December 12, 2020, Kanu said, like
the Amotekun Corps (created by the South West states) and Miyeti Allah group,
ESN is intended as an organised vigilante outfit to safeguard the South East.
Towards the end of the broadcast, Kanu called on his
followers to go after Wike and kill him for allegedly offering a N50 million
bounty for the head of a Biafran.
He said Wike does not deserve to live and that he deserves
to die, threatening that such treatment will be visited on any governor who
presides over the killings of his people.
The second broadcast was that made on October 20, 2020, in
which Kanu directed his followers, during the End SARS protest, to cause mayhem
in Lagos and to kill Tinubu because he is a traitor and an evil man who should
be taught a lesson.
Kanu also told his followers to kill police personnel and
other uniformed people and said: “Tinubu’s hotel must be burnt down. Tinubu
should not be allowed to escape.”
In the third broadcast, the IPOB leader announced that he
was placing a N100 million bounty on Wike’s head and encouraged his followers
to “take Wike down.”
Kanu said, “N100m for anyone who can take Wike down. Dead or
alive, Wike is N100m. I will pay cash. Take down Wike, I will pay you cash.
“The bounty on Wike’s head is N100m. Get me his head, you
will get N100m. Wike offered N50m for the head of a Biafran.”
