“Not IPOB, But Opposition” — Gov. Uzodimma’s Video Weakens FG’s Case Against Nnamdi Kanu [Video]

One of the pivotal moments in today’s court proceedings came when the defense team played a video clip showing Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State stating that the killings in Orlu were not carried out by IPOB but by members of the opposition party.

This sharply contradicted earlier testimony by the DSS witness, who had claimed IPOB was responsible.

When questioned, the witness acknowledged recognizing the governor but attempted to downplay the clip, stating that the governor “didn’t mention names.”

The defense argued that this evidence directly contradicts the allegations against Kanu and IPOB, and supports the position that many of the accusations are politically motivated and lack factual basis.

Another clip featured a public figure asserting that the killings in the southeast were not caused by IPOB but driven by political interests—a claim the witness could not challenge.

Observers believe this series of revelations in court may significantly influence public perception of the trial and raise new doubts about the prosecution’s claims.
