Wike says, he will testify in Kanu’s terrorism trial if called by Court

Minister of the Federal Capital Authority, Nyesom Wike, on Friday indicated his willingness to testify in Court in the ongoing terrorism trial of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu if subpoenaed by Court.

He was reacting to questions during his monthly media chat in Abuja, saying having listed him as witness by the embattled IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, he will willingly testify as it pleases the Court.

CAPITAL POST recalled that the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra had filed a motion before the Justice Binta Nyako-led Court listing his witnesses including serving and non-serving governors, retired Chief of Army staff and other highly placed personalities in the country.

The IPOB leader had also disclosed he would call 23 witnesses, including the FCT Minister, former Minister of Defence Gen. Theophilus Danjuma (retd), former Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Tukur Buratai (retd), among others.

Wike however said, he was yet to be served Court papers as a witness, stressing that as long as that is done, he will oblige.

Pure Yoruba Culture is not in Ile- “If you see Nnamdi Kanu, you ask him why he listed me. I did not go to him to say I want to be a witness; you are the one saying that. So, if you see him, ask him why did you list Wike as one of your witnesses?

“You don’t become a witness by reading a newspaper. Nobody has served me process; nobody has subpoenaed me.

“So, because I saw Wike has been listed, therefore, I begin to run helter-skelter. No, you do not do that. If I am served, if I am subpoenaed to come and give witness, or to give evidence, I must obey the court, I must appear,” he said.
