The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has admitted before the Federal High Court, Abuja, that he founded both IPOB and Radio Biafra.
TheNewsGuru reports that Kanu’s trial began again following the re-assignment of his case to another judge of the Federal High Court, Abuja. Kanu had demanded the recusal of Justice Binta Nyako who had presided over his case since its inception.
Speaking during the proceedings on Monday, the IPOB leader said he established the movement and the online radio platform to promote the welfare and interests of the Igbo people.
My broadcasts were always public
Kanu denied allegations that IPOB operates as a secretive organization, asserting that all his broadcasts on Radio Biafra were public and streamed live on Facebook. “All my broadcasts were public and accessible to everyone. IPOB is not a secret organization,” he stated.
Kanu Denies Working With Others
Kanu also maintained that he operated independently and personally managed all Radio Biafra broadcasts, when he was questioned by the Department of State Services (DSS) about his associates.
He emphasized that he did not collaborate with any external individuals in the operation of the movement’s communication channels. Meanwhile, the presiding judge ordered that a video recording of Kanu’s interrogation session with the DSS be played in open court as part of the ongoing trial.
