1k


A Federal High Court in Abuja has convicted Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), on all seven counts of the terrorism charge brought by the Federal Government.

In his ongoing judgment, Justice James Omotosho found Kanu guilty, holding that the Department of State Services (DSS) had presented sufficient credible evidence.

Persecondnews reports that Omotosho is still reading the remaining part of the judgment.
