The Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, to life imprisonment for terrorism.

“I hereby sentence the convict to life imprisonment for counts one, four, five, and six, instead of death sentence,” Justice Omotosho read in his judgement.

He added: With respect to Count Three, he is hereby sentenced to 20 years imprisonment without no option of fine.

“For Count Seven, he is sentenced to five years imprisonment without no option of fine. To extend the mercy, I hereby order that the sentence shall run concurrently.”

The judge stated that Kanu must be kept in a facility that will be suitable for his custody and should not be allowed close to any digital device, or must be monitored by the office of the National Security Adviser.

He also said that the IPOB leader’s transmitter would be given to the Federal Government.

Reacting, Barr Aloy Ejimakor, legal consultant to Kanu, said “we will appeal this judgement.”
