Following Nnamdi Kanu’s conviction, the prosecution urged the Federal High Court in Abuja to sentence the proscribed IPOB leader to the death penalty.

Prosecuting lawyer Chief Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN) based the demand on the severe impact of Kanu’s terrorism activities, which he claimed led to the deaths of more than 75 security personnel, numerous innocent Nigerians, and significant destruction of public property.
