The prosecution has launched a lawsuit against IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu. NnamdiKanu faces charges of immortality and terrorism against the upset of desertion against the Republic of Biafra.
On Tuesday, the Federal High Court in Abuja granted a federal application to protect the identity of witnesses requested to testify against the leader of the prohibited Indigenous Peoples (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu.
Judge James Omotoshaw has granted the application after a senior Nigeria advocate, federal lawyer Adegboyega Awomolo, moved the former Parte motion into effect.
Moving on, Aumoro told the court that the identity of the witness must be protected for safety reasons.
The senior lawyer informed the court of the need to protect the witness as the charges against the canoe are adjacent to terrorism.
He requested that witness names be protected from the public for general security reasons.
Kanu Agabi, San, who appeared on Cano and former attorney general of the federation, did not oppose the application.
However, Agabi has called for similar cooperation from the federal government when Kanu’s bail application is discussed.
Judge Omotoshaw later granted Aumoro’s plea.
Meanwhile, the first prosecutor’s witness identified as PWAAA began testimony as the prosecution officially launched a lawsuit against Mr Kanu.
IPOB leaders face charges of immortal felony and terrorism. This was due to his separatist uprising over the withdrawal of some Nigerian Southeastern states and some of their neighbors as sovereign Biafra states.

He was reapproved before Omotoshaw in March, forcing former judge Binta Nyako, who had been handling the case since 2016, to reject himself from the case.
But just before the charges were read by him, before Mr. Explosion exploded against Mrs. Nyako, protesting the handling of the lawsuit.
It was the first time that an issue occurred in Mr. Omotosho’s court. Mr Kanu pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Before suing the charges, Kanu passionately sought forgiveness from the former judge and promised to take good action during the trial period.
Mr Kanu’s apology was included in a long prepared speech given by Mr Agabi, who had first appeared on the day, his new lawyer, Mr Agabi.
In his emotional speech, Mr. Kanu especially apologised to Mrs. Nyako and Mr. Aumoro forgiving him for his explosion and forgetting and forgetting his attack on them in the public court.
Biafra’s upset led to a civil war that was furious between 1967 and 1970, when first enacted in the 1960s, within the first decade of Nigeria’s independence.
Kanu took the baton for Biafra’s upset in 2015 and escalated it, claiming that he and his people had the right to self-determination.
The Nigerian government arrested and charged him in 2015. This became increasingly uncomfortable with Kanu’s separatism campaign through Radio Biafra of the time.
