Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Abuja, has been urged to order the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, to enter a defence in the alleged terrorism charge brought against him by the Federal Government.

The Counsel for the Prosecution, Adegboyega Awomolo, who made this request during Friday’s proceedings, urged the court to reject the no-case submission made by the defence.

He therefore prayed the court to instead order him to explain why he engaged in alleged terrorist activities that promoted violence and destruction, including the alleged killing of not less than 170 security officials.

While adopting the prosecution’s address in opposition to the no-case submission made by Kanu, Awomolo said the prosecution has supplied sufficient evidence in proof of all elements of the offences charged to warrant the court to call on the defendant to enter a defence.

He noted the prosecution called five witnesses and tendered many exhibits, including video and audio video, adding that as against the claim by defence lawyer, Kanu Agabi, the reply address of the prosecution addressed all issues raised, to the effect that the no case submission is of no moment.

Awomolo, who prayed the court to dismiss the no-case submission, argued that all the court was required to do at this stage of the case was to take a panoramic view of the evidence led so far and determine whether or not a prima facie case has been made out against the defendant to warrant his being called to enter a defence.

He noted that the defence, in its no-case submission, attacked the credibility of the witnesses, the record and evidence led so far, which is not what is required at this stage.
