Breaking: Federal High Court Sentences Nnamdi Kanu to life Imprisonment
Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been sentenced to life imprisonment by a Federal High Court in Abuja after being convicted on all seven terrorism charges leveled against him.
Justice James Omotosho, delivering the judgment, described Kanu as a terrorist whose actions have caused bloodshed and destabilized the South-East. He noted that, despite portraying himself as a defender of his people, Kanu endangered lives and national security.
“The court finds that the defendant, Nnamdi Kanu, is an international terrorist and must be treated accordingly,” the judge declared.
Justice Omotosho highlighted that the prosecution provided credible and sufficient evidence, while Kanu chose not to present a defense, resting his case on the prosecution’s submissions. The remaining portion of the judgment is still being delivered.
