 Nnamdi Kanu sentenced to life imprisonment


Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court has handed IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu a life sentence after finding him guilty on all seven counts related to terrorism.

Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court delivered the following sentences and orders on Nnamdi Kanu:


Prison Sentences:


- Life imprisonment on Counts 1, 4, 5, and 6.


- 20 years imprisonment on Count 3 (no option of fine).


- 5 years imprisonment on Count 7 (no option of fine).


All sentences are to run concurrently.


Special Custody Conditions (due to what the judge described as Kanu’s violent tendencies and atrocities):


- Kanu is NOT to be kept at Kuje Correctional Centre.


- He is to be held in protective custody (specific facility not named in the excerpt, but under strict security).


- He is completely barred from possessing or accessing any digital device (phone, laptop, tablet, etc.).


- Any future access to a digital device is allowed only with the express approval and direct supervision of the National Security Adviser (NSA).


Forfeiture Order:


- All transmitters and broadcasting equipment belonging to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) or used by Radio Biafra are permanently forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria..
