A Federal High Court in Abuja has ruled that Nnamdi Kanu, the detained head of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), is guilty of the first and second counts in the terrorism case brought against him by the Federal Government.
The judge held that prosecutors proved their claim that Kanu used multiple broadcasts to stir unrest, urging supporters to engage in violent actions linked to the separatist campaign for an independent Biafra.
Justice James Omotosho said the conviction was anchored on what he described as clear and unchallenged evidence presented by the government, stressing that the defence failed to rebut the material placed before the court.
The judgement marks another major turn in the long-running legal battle between the government and the IPOB leader, a case that continues to shape conversations around agitation and national security.
