Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been sentenced to life imprisonment after being convicted of terrorism.
The sentencing was announced on Thursday by Justice James Omotosho.
Kanu was handed a life imprisonment sentence for Counts 4, 5 and 6 of the seven-count charges, while he was handed a 20-year jail term for Count 2.
Delivering judgment on Thursday, James Omotosho, the presiding judge, held that the prosecution had successfully established every allegation.
He noted that Kanu offered no credible defence and “deliberately refused” to challenge the evidence presented in court.
Omotosho described the IPOB leader as “a person who cannot be allowed to remain in the company of sane minds”.
