Nnamdi Kanu Sentenced to Life Imprisonment for Terrorism Acts
Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been sentenced to life imprisonment for terrorism acts by the Federal High Court in Abuja. Justice James Omotosho delivered the judgment, finding Kanu guilty of seven terrorism-related charges.
The legal battle spanned a decade, starting from Kanu's arrest in Lagos in 2015 by the Department of State Services (DSS). Chief Mike Ozekhome SAN represented Kanu in court.
The court dismissed some charges and ordered a re-arraignment on amended charges in Kenya in 2021.
