Kanu

By Seyi Babalola

Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court has sentenced Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to life imprisonment after ten years of trial.

Justice Omotosho announced the decision on Thursday, four years after Kanu was arrested in Kenya under contentious circumstances and returned to Nigeria.

He was later accused with seven offences touching on terrorism.

Kanu was convicted of all seven counts preferred against him even though the IPOB leader pleaded non-guilty to the charges.
