Nnamdi Kanu ordered Lagos court burning, cops’ beheading – DSS
The Department of State Services, on Thursday, accused the detained leader of the separatist Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, of masterminding a string of violent attacks across the country, including the burning of a Lagos court and the beheading of police officers. Testifying before the Federal High Court in Abuja, the second prosecution witness, codenamed BBB, alleged that Kanu’s inflammatory broadcasts on the unlicensed Radio Biafra directly incited violence, including the killing of security personnel and the destruction of public property.
“He ordered the burning of a Lagos High Court and government buses. He called for the beheading of police and army officers,” the DSS operative told the court during examination led by the prosecution counsel, Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN). BBB said his investigation revealed that Kanu personally founded both IPOB and its paramilitary wing, the Eastern Security Network, and used Radio Biafra to call for violence “by any means necessary,” including war, in pursuit of Biafra’s secession. The witness testified that Kanu admitted to being the voice in several broadcasts used as evidence by prosecutors — audio recordings in which he allegedly incited attacks and enforced sit-at-home orders.
The DSS further linked the IPOB leader to the brutal murder of several individuals, including a police officer who was allegedly beheaded, and the May 2022 killing of Ahmed Gulak, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan.
