A WITNESS in the trial of the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has testified that about 200 security agents were killed in the South East due to the activities of the IPOB and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN).
The witness, whose identity was concealed, told a Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday, that one Uzoma Benjamin, aka Onye Army, spoke about how they allegedly received directives from Kanu to kill security agents.
The witness, who was led in evidence by prosecuting lawyer, Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN), told the court they allegedly received directives from Kanu to kill security agents and ensure that a deceased member of the group, Ikonso, was buried with 2000 human heads.
The DSS official said further investigation revealed that of the 2000 human heads sought to bury Ikonso, only 30 were eventually sourced.
He also gave details of how the late former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Ahmed Gulak, was killed on May 30, 2021 in Owerri, Imo State.
At the conclusion of the cross examination, the court discharged the witness, following which the judge, Justice James Omotosho, adjourned further hearing till Thursday for the prosecution to call its fifth witness.
