The Federal High Court in Abuja has convicted the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, on count one of the terrorism charges filed against him by the Federal Government.
In delivering the ruling, Justice James Omotosho said the court was convinced that Kanu made a series of broadcasts that incited violence and killings in pursuit of his separatist campaign for Biafra.
The judge noted that the conviction was based on what he termed “uncontroverted evidence” presented by the prosecution, which the defence failed to disprove.
Further details on sentencing and the remaining counts are expected as the case proceeds.
