The transmitters used in broadcasting secession-inclined messages from Radio Biafra, were installed on the masts of telecommunication giants, MTN in Enugu and Anambra.

Nnamdi Kanu, the Director of Radio Biafra, is currently under investigation for treasonable felony, largely from propaganda spread through the pirate radio station.

The Federal Government, revealed on Monday, that the installation of the transmitters on the telecommunications company’s masts was to ensure wider coverage for the radio.

The revelation was contained in the government’s case summary of the fresh six count-charge instituted against Nnamdi Kanu, and two others, before the Federal High Court in Abuja.

One of the defendants, David Nwawuisi, is a field maintenance engineer, David Nwawuisi, whose job was to maintain the MTN masts in Enugu State.

Benjamin Madubugwu, the other defendant in the treason case, was alleged to have received a container full of transmitters from Kanu.

The Federal Director of Public Prosecutions, Mohammed Diri, who signed the case summary, also alleged that Nwawuisi installed the transmitters on MTN masts “on request by an IPOB member, Chidibere Onwudiwe.”

“The 3rd defendant (Nwawuisi), a Field Maintenance Engineer, charged with the responsibility of maintaining MTN masts in Enugu State, was also arrested in the course of the investigation.”

“He agreed, on the request of an IPOB member, who is at large, Chidebere Onwudiwe, to install and did install IPOB radio transmitters on MTN masts for a consideration.”

According to the prosecution, the transmitters which were smuggled into Nigeria by Kanu, were discovered during a search of Madubugwu’s residence.

The transmitters are believed to have been installed on the MTN masts between April and May 2015.
