Justice James Amatosho of the Federal
0:02
High Court sitting in Abuja on Friday
0:04
ruled that the detained Bafra agitation
0:07
leader Nami Kanu has case to answer
0:10
because the Nigeria government
0:11
prosecution team have provided some
0:14
evidence that requires explanations from
0:16
the detained Bafra leader. This the
0:19
coordinating lawyer to Nambdi Kanu
0:21
Barister Aoy Gi Mccor said the judgment
0:23
of the court does not mean Nambdi Kanu
0:26
has been pronounced guilty rather the
0:29
ruling indicated that he should give
0:30
explanations to certain evidences the
0:33
federal government of Nigeria brought
0:35
before the court. It would be recalled
0:37
that the ruling on the no case
0:39
submission filed by Nambi Carano that
0:41
was earlier slated to be held on October
0:43
10th, 2025 was abridged and rescheduled
0:46
to Friday the 26th of September 2025.
0:50
Justice James also rejected request by
0:54
Caro to be transferred from custody of
0:56
the Department of State Services DSS to
0:59
the National Hospital Abuja for medical
1:01
examination over alleged deteriorating
1:03
health issues. The court subsequently
1:06
ordered the president of Nigerian
1:08
Medical Association NMA to constitute an
1:11
investigation committee to examine
1:13
Kanu's medical condition and submit a
1:15
report to it in 8 days following
1:17
objection by DSS to his request to be
1:20
transferred to National Hospital for
1:22
second opinion on his health condition.
1:25
We had earlier in the year reported that
1:27
the case between the federal government
1:28
of Nigeria and the detained leader of
1:31
the indigenous people of Bafrae Nami
1:33
Kanu apparently took a new technical
1:35
twist after one of the lawyers of the
1:37
detained Bafra leader Paul Ericoro San
1:41
presented and played three videos which
1:43
the federal high court sitting in Abuja
1:46
later admitted in evidence. the videos
1:48
of former Nigeria chief of army staff
1:51
retired General Theophilus Danjuma
1:53
saying security operatives in the West
1:56
Africa country specifically the armed
1:58
forces are working together with the
2:00
armed bandits to kill Nigerians
2:02
stressing that if Nigerians depend on
2:05
the armed forces to curb insecurity they
2:08
will all die one by one also that of
2:10
Governor Hope of Imho state saying
2:14
politicians are behind killings in the
2:16
state lastly in The most interesting
2:18
video played at the court to counter the
2:20
testimony or statement made by the DSS
2:23
prosecutor witness over Nambdi Kanu led
2:26
IPOB founding eastern security network
2:29
ESN allegedly created by group of youths
2:32
in the southeastern geopolitical zone of
2:34
Nigeria often referred to as Bafra land
2:37
to fight in self-defense against fani
2:40
armed bandits or terrorists that were
2:42
advancing and killing people in the
2:44
eastern state during the era of
2:46
President Muhammadu Buhari was that of
2:48
the director general of the department
2:50
of state services DSS adola who is
2:54
apparently the government chief
2:56
complainer in the case and the DSSDG
