Kaigama pleaded not guilty and was remanded in protective custody pending a trial set for September. A week later, in early August 2026, retired Department of State Services officer Nwaogu Ihechimere Ezeakolam was also arraigned in the same court on four counts under the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act for alleged involvement with the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). He too pleaded not guilty and was ordered to remain detained at Kuje Correctional Centre while his trial is scheduled for October. Both cases illustrate Nigeria’s ongoing legal actions against individuals accused of supporting insurgent or separatist groups. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-06: Retired DSS Officer Nwaogu Ezeakolam Remanded in Kuje Prison on IPOB Terrorism Charges Retired DSS officer Nwaogu Ezeakolam was remanded at Kuje prison after being charged with four terrorism offences for alleged support of the proscribed IPOB group; he pleaded not guilty and the trial is set for 10 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/retired-dss-officer-nwaogu-ezeakolam-remanded-over-ipob-terrorism-charges ### 2026-07-29: Samaila Ibrahim Kaigama arraigned in Abuja for alleged funding of ISWAP and Boko Haram Samaila Ibrahim Kaigama was arraigned in Abuja, pleaded not guilty to four terrorism‑related counts for allegedly financing ISWAP and Boko Haram, and was remanded in DSS custody. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/samaila-ibrahim-kaigama-arraigned-in-abuja-for-alleged-funding-of-iswap-and-boko-haram --- Cite as: Nigeria terrorism prosecutions.
