Breaking: Nnamdi Kanu Found Guilty on Counts One, Two, and Three

Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), was found guilty on Counts One, Two, and Three of the terrorist accusations brought against him by the Federal Government by the Federal High Court in Abuja.

The decision, which was made on Thursday, represents a significant turning point in the protracted case, which has garnered national and worldwide interest over the course of several years.

The prosecution’s evidence, which claimed that Kanu threatened violence against the Federal Republic of Nigeria through a broadcast, was reportedly upheld by Justice James Omotosho.

“Committing an act of terrorism against the Federal Republic of Nigeria by making a broadcast, threatening that people will die and the world will be at a standstill” is how the court summed up the offense.

According to Justice Omotosho, the evidence unequivocally showed that the IPOB leader incited acts that could frighten the people.

“Kanu knew what he was doing; he was bent on carrying out these threats without consideration to his own people,” the judge stated during the ruling.

He continued by saying that the prosecution’s uncontested evidence demonstrated that Kanu’s orders amounted to terrorist preparations.

The court declared, “He had the duty to explain himself but failed to do so.”

At precisely 1:02 pm, Justice Omotosho added that substantial evidence presented in court showed that Kanu issued the contentious sit-at-home order in the South-East.

The judge emphasized that the prosecution’s allegations that Kanu incited acts amounting to terrorism were supported by the order, which had created economic stagnation and widespread panic throughout the region.

Kanu threatened to kill everyone who disobeyed his order to sit at home, according to count two states.

He claimed to be an IPOB member and leader during count three.
