In addition, Kanu who personally signed the criminal complaint, accused them of fabrication of evidence, subornation of perjury, and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice in the ongoing proceedings in Federal Republic of Nigeria v. Nnamdi Kanu (FHC/ABJ/CR/383/2015).”
He listed the two prosecution witnesses as TAA, (also known as PW1) and BBB, (also known as PW2), whom he claimed willfully gave false evidence on oath.
The Direct Criminal Complaint was brought pursuant to sections 156, 158(1), 159(1) and 160 of the Penal Code, Section 88 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015, and Sections 34 and 36 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

It reads: “Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, adult, male, Christian, Nigerian Citizen, of Umuahia, Abia State, and Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB), currently detained by the Department of State Services(DSS),since June 19,2021, do hereby solemnly affirm and complain as follows:That on diverse dates between May and July 2025, at the Federal High Court, Abuja, during the hearing and trial-within-trial in the case of Federal Republic of Nigeria v. Nnamdi Kanu (FHC/ABJ/CR/383/2015), TAA and BBB, being witnesses called by the prosecution in my trial, willfully gave false evidence on oath, knowing same to be false and/or not believing same to be true and material to the admissibility of the 2015 and 2021 statements, thereby, committing perjury contrary to sections 156, 158 and 159 of the Penal Code.
That TAA, on page 352 of the Certified True Copy of proceedings dated June 26, 2025, under oath, stated as follows: ‘I cannot recall… I didn’t know any other Brown my lord,’ when asked if he knew Brown Ekwoaba, the Assistant Director (Investigations) at the DSS National Headquarters, Abuja, who personally supervised the October–November 2015,interviews and detention of the complainant.”
The IPOB leader described the denial by TAA as false, adding: “That TAA’s denial is false, as established by: Affidavit of Prince Emmanuel Kanu (Exhibit C), confirming six visits to the complainant in Brown Ekwoaba’s office at Yellow House, 3rd Floor, between October 2015 and January 2016; affidavit of Benjamin Benjamin Madubugwu (Exhibit D), confirming interviews with Brown Ekwoaba and three others in the same office in November 2015; and public records confirming Brown Ekwoaba as Assistant Director, Directorate (Investigations) (2015–2020), later State Director (Edo & Kwara).
That BBB, on page 202 of the Certified True Copy of proceedings, under oath, stated as follows: “I have not met him before except in this court,’ despite earlier testifying (pages 184–188) that he led the July 17,2021 video interview of the complainant at DSS Headquarters.
That both witnesses were shielded behind masks and screens by order of the trial court, yet gave materially false testimony to conceal the true chain of custody of the 2015 and 2021 statements.”
