Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court on Friday ordered a rare relocation of proceedings in the trial of IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to the Department of State Services (DSS) headquarters.
The judge and legal teams inspected a shipping container allegedly used to import a radio transmitter for Radio Biafra broadcasts—central to the prosecution’s claims. This unusual on-site visit represents a major procedural turn in the case, which has drawn national and international scrutiny.
The trial will resume after the inspection, with observers suggesting the development may significantly influence the court’s eventual ruling.
