Court convicts Nnamdi Kanu on terrorism charges

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday found the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, guilty of the terrorism charge filed against him by the Federal Government.

The presiding judge, Justice James Omotosho, convicted Kanu for what he described as “uncontroverted evidence” that was adduced before the court by the prosecution.

Kanu blasts judge: No judgement today because I’ve joined issues

Omotosho 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The judge dismissed Kanu’s argument that the charges against him were invalid because they were based on repealed Terrorism Prevention Act 2013.
