The Federal Government on Thursday formally closed its case in the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), who is facing terrorism and treason-related charges.

Government’s lead counsel, Chief Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN), announced the decision after the fifth prosecution witness, identified only as EEE for security reasons, concluded his testimony and cross-examination before Justice James Omotosho at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
