The Federal Government of Nigeria has said the transmitters for Radio Biafra,
which has been accused of spreading secessionist agenda and campaigning
for the carving out of a Biafra Republic from Nigeria, were found to be
installed on MTN masts in Enugu and Anambra states.
According
to the Federal Government, the installation of the transmitters on the
telecommunications company’s masts was to ensure wider coverage for the
radio.
This is
contained in the government’s case summary of the fresh six counts of
treason and other ancillary offences instituted against the founder of Radio Biafra and leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, and two others, before the Federal High Court in Abuja.
One of the
two other defendants in the six counts filed by the Federal Government
is a field maintenance engineer, David Nwawuisi, charged with the
responsibility of maintaining the MTN masts in Enugu State.
The other
defendant, Benjamin Madubugwu, was said to be living in Ubilisiuzo,
Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State, where he allegedly
received custody of a container housing transmitters from Kanu.
