Court admits videos showing Nnamdi Kanu ‘creating’ ESN, ordering lockdown in South-East
- During Nnamdi Kanu's terrorism trial in May 2025, the court admitted videos and documents as evidence that showed him declaring the establishment of the Eastern Security Network and instructing a lockdown across the South-East region.
- The evidence arose from a petition by former Attorney General Abubakar Malami instructing DSS to investigate Kanu for inciting attacks and conspiracy through inflammatory broadcasts.
- Videos played in court showed Kanu urging followers to attack security forces, burn police stations, forbid Fulani herdsmen, and declare a South-East lockdown honoring fallen Biafrans.
- Kanu was heard instructing that after killing any police officer, individuals should proceed to the officer’s station and ignite it, with his broadcasts reportedly linked to organized assaults resulting in fatalities and damage to property.
- The admitted evidence supports terrorism charges against Kanu and implies the Federal Government's case centers on his calls for violence and refusal to renounce his broadcasts.
