The Abuja Division of the Federal High Court on Thursday admitted in evidence videos of General T.Y. Danjuma, Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo and the director general of the State Security Service, Adeola Ajayi, in Nnamdi Kanu’s defence.

Justice James Omotosho admitted the flash drive containing the three separate videos in a flash drive as Exhibit PW-P and a certificate of compliance as Exhibit PWP-1.

The documents were admitted in evidence after Paul Erokoro, counsel for Mr Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, tendered them from the bar and were not opposed by the federal government’s lawyer, Adegboyega Awomolo.

The three videos were played in the open court, and the government’s witness, an operative of the SSS identified as BBB, was cross-examined by Mr Erokoro.
