Kanu is facing trial on terrorism-related charges before Justice James Omotosho-led court.
The IPOB leader was first arrested in 2017 but was later released. He subsequently eloped to Europe after Nigerian soldiers invaded his residence in Afaraukwu, Abia State.
In June 2021, Kanu was rearrested in Kenya and subjected to extraordinary rendition back to Nigeria where he has remained in DSS custody.
During Friday’s proceedings, the prosecuting counsel asked PW4-DDD, “Do you know who Kanu is?”
He responded: “Yes, he is IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, who has been calling for the break up and secession of the South-East from Nigeria. He is a terrorist.”
When the prosecuting counsel asked how he got to know the IPOB leader, he said: “I knew him when he was arrested in Lagos and he incites people through Radio Biafra.”
The DSS operative who was shielded also commented on where Kanu kept the transmitter used in airing Radio Biafra.
Speaking on where the transmitter was recovered from, the prosecution witness said: “Mazi Nnamdi Kanu kept it in one Benjamin Madubugwu’s house at Ubuluisiiuzo.
“I was to carry out the search, locate the transmitter and retrieve it.”
