Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been sentenced to life imprisonment by a Federal High Court in Abuja after being found guilty on all seven counts of terrorism brought against him.
Justice James Omotosho, who delivered the judgment in Kanu’s trial, labeled him a terrorist whose actions have resulted in violence and instability in the South-East region.
He stated that Kanu, who presented himself as a protector of his people, has instead compromised lives and national security.
“The court concludes that the defendant, Nnamdi Kanu, is an international terrorist and must be treated as such,” Justice Omotosho asserted.
The judge underscored that the prosecution provided credible and adequate evidence to substantiate the case against Kanu. He also pointed out that Kanu did not offer a defense, opting instead to rely solely on the prosecution's evidence.
Justice Omotosho is currently in the process of delivering the remainder of the judgment.
