The Federal High Court in Abuja, on Thursday, convicted the self-acclaimed leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, of terrorism against the Federal Government.
Delivering judgment, Justice James Omotosho held that the prosecution had proved the seven counts preferred against Kanu beyond reasonable doubt.
The judge ruled that the Federal Government established that Kanu’s actions and broadcasts constituted acts of terrorism under the Terrorism Prevention and Prohibition Act.
IPOB, which Kanu leads, was proscribed and designated a terrorist organisation by the Federal Government in 2017 following a court order.
