Court Sentences Nnamdi Kanu to life Imprisonment for terrorism charges
Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday found the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, guilty of the terrorism charge filed against him by Federal Government and sentenced him to life imprisonment.
Justice James Omotosho said he convicted Kanu, for what he described as “uncontroverted evidence” that was adduced before the court by the prosecution.
Onotosho said he was satisfied that Kanu made series of broadcasts to incite violence and killings, in furtherance of his separatist agitation for Biafra.
The judge dismissed Kanu’s argument that the charges against him were invalid because they were based on repealed Terrorism Prevention Act 2013.
