Court Sentences Nnamdi Kanu To Life Imprisonment

News Investigators/ The Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday, sentenced Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), to life imprisonment after he was found guilty of the terrorism offences.

Justice James Omotosho, who earlier convicted Kanu in all the seven counts preferred against him, held that the Federal Government had been able to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt against Kanu in the terrorism offences.

Justice Omotosho consequently sentenced the IPOB leader to life imprisonment in counts one, four, five and six, instead of death sentence penalty.

According to the judge, life is sacred to God.

The judge, who sentenced Kanu to a 20-year jail term in count three, however, committed him to three years imprisonment in count seven.
