A federal high court in Abuja has authorized the federal government’s request to keep the identities of witnesses in the trial of Nnamdi Kanu confidential.

Kanu, who leads the banned Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been held by the Department of State Services (DSS) since 2021 on charges of terrorism and treasonable felony.

On Tuesday, prosecution attorney Adegboyega Awomolo informed the court that he had submitted an ex parte application on April 10 to safeguard the identities of the witnesses. He requested that the court provide screens and masks to ensure their anonymity.

“The purpose of this request is to ensure the safety and security of state officers who will serve as witnesses,” he stated.

Kanu Agabi, the defendant’s counsel, did not contest the application.

The trial is underway, with the first witness, a DSS operative, already called to testify.

Kanu was re-arraigned on March 21 before Judge James Omotosho of the federal high court in Abuja.
