In a bombshell revelation at the Federal High Court in Abuja, a Department of State Services (DSS) operative testified that no weapon of terrorism or violence was recovered from IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu during his October 15, 2015 arrest in Lagos.

The witness, codenamed PWAAA, also confirmed that none of the items seized from the woman arrested alongside him were arms of public disturbance
Under cross-examination by Kanu’s counsel, SAN Kanu Agabi, PWAAA admitted that all confiscated devices—laptops, modems, cell phones, and audio equipment—were purely personal effects and not ordinarily offensive.

He conceded he never analyzed most items and that the only forensic report conducted was on Kanu’s phone, which was deemed immaterial and not submitted to court.
The operative further stated that Kanu’s statement was obtained without legal representation present, and he could not identify any other person tried for Biafra agitation aside from Simon Ekpa, who he said would soon face trial. Justice Omotosho has scheduled continuation of cross-examination for May 6–8.
This testimony raises fresh questions about the validity of terrorism charges against Kanu and may influence the court’s assessment of evidence.
