The Federal High Court in Abuja has convicted the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, on a seven-count charge of terrorism brought against him by the Federal Government.
Delivering judgment on Thursday, Justice James Omotosho held that the prosecution successfully established all allegations against Kanu. The charges include leading a proscribed organisation, issuing threats, involvement in violent activities, destruction of property, concealment, and the importation of an
unregistered radio transmitter.Justice Omotosho stated that the evidence presented—particularly Kanu’s recorded statements and related exhibits—proved that he engaged in actions that endangered national security.
In the aftermath of the judgment, a member of the House of Representatives appealed to the Federal Government to temper justice with mercy, urging clemency for Kanu in the interest of national healing.
More details will be provided as the story develops.
