Nnamdi Kanu Bags Life Imprisonment, Denied Access to Communication Gadgets

By Eric Elezuo

The Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to life imprisonment, having been found guilty and convicted of all the seven count charges of terrorism brought against him by the Federal Government.

Delivering his judgment, the presiding judge, Justice James Omotosho, said the offences for which Kanu was found guilty carry a death sentence, but out of magnanimity, and in carrying out the example of Jesus Christ in showing mercy, he has decided to commute it to life imprisonment.

The sentencing in as much Kanu did not enter a defence for himself, came after 10 years of judicial back and forth.
