The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has found the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, guilty on count-1 of the terrorism charge the Federal Government preferred against him.
The court said it was satisfied that Kanu made series of broadcasts to incite violence and killings, in furtherance of his separatist agitation for Biafra.
The trial judge, Justice James Omotosho, based his decision on what he described as “uncontroverted evidence” presented to the court by the prosecution.
The judge dismissed Kanu’s argument that the charges against him were invalid because they were based on the repealed Terrorism Prevention Act 2013.
