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.
Justice James Omotosho ruled on Thursday that the prosecution had presented “uncontroverted evidence” showing that Kanu made multiple broadcasts aimed at inciting violence and killings in furtherance of his separatist campaign for Biafra.
The court held that the inflammatory broadcasts were capable of endangering national security and contributed to escalating attacks in the South-East.
With the conviction entered, the court is expected to rule on the remaining counts and possible sentencing.
