Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, UPON, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was on Thursday, sentenced to life imprisonment following conviction on all seven counts of terrorism preferred against him by the Federal Government of Nigeria.
Justice James Omotosho who delivered the judgment held that Kanu was guilty on each of the counts, which covered allegations of engaging in acts of terrorism, membership and leadership of a proscribed organisation, issuing threats, involvement in attacks that led to the killing of security operatives, destruction and burning of properties, concealment of information, and the importation of an unregistered radio transmitter.
Justice Omotosho also ordered that all exhibits taken from Kanu including the Radio Biafra transmitter be forfeited to the Federal Government.
However, he was sentenced to Life Imprisonment.
New angle to the conviction is that Nnamdi Kanu can still appeal on the pronounced of Justice Omotosho.
