“The bounty on Wike’s head is N100m. Get me his head, you will get N100m. Wike offered N50m for the head of a Biafran.”
A prosecution witness in Nnamdi Kanu’s trial testified that the IPOB leader confirmed issuing violent directives against President Bola Tinubu and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike in broadcasts. The Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday played seven recordings, including one where Kanu placed a N100m bounty on Wike’s head, urging followers to “take him down.” Another broadcast allegedly incited attacks on Tinubu’s properties and called for his killing, branding him a “traitor.”
“N100m for anyone who can take Wike down. Dead or alive, Wike is N100m. I will pay cash,” Kanu said in one recording. In another, he declared, “Tinubu’s hotel must be burnt down. Tinubu should not be allowed to escape.” The witness stated Kanu admitted to the broadcasts during questioning in July 2021.
The court admitted the flash drive containing the evidence, as the trial continues amid heightened tensions over Kanu’s separatist campaign.
