•By Admin
ABUJA – MAZI Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), was on Thursday, sentenced to life imprisonment by Justice James Omotosho, of the Federal High Court, Abuja.
Nnamdi Kanu had been a subject of a high-profile terrorism and treason trial in Nigeria, spanning a period of over 10 years.
Kanu was first arrested in 2015, but fled Nigeria while on bail in 2017, because of the military invasion of his home in Abia state.
In 2021, he was arrested in Kenya and forcefully renditioned back to Nigeria, an action he insisted, violated international laws and treaties.
Thursday’s judgment was the climax of his 7-count trial before Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, over allegations of terrorism, treason etc.
