Justice Omotosho has designated Nnamdi Kanu as an ‘international terrorist’ in judgement.
A Federal High Court in Abuja has convicted the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, on three of the seven terrorism charges filed against him by the Federal Government.
Delivering judgment on Thursday, the Presiding Judge, James Omotosho, cited prosecution evidence, including video interviews in which Kanu made violent threats against Nigeria and its citizens, as the basis for the conviction.
The court said it was satisfied that Kanu made a series of broadcasts to incite violence and killings, in furtherance of his separatist agitation for Biafra.
Trial Justice James Omotosho based his decision on what he described as “uncontroverted evidence” that was adduced before the court by the prosecution.
