Court convicts Nnamdi Kanu on all seven counts
Justice James Omotoso of the Federal High Court in Abuja has convicted Nnamdi Kanu of the proscribed separatist group, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), on all the offences contained in the seven-count terrorism charges filed against him by the Federal government.
The presiding judge who delivered judgement in the case today November 20, held that the prosecution led sufficient credible evidence to establish its case against Kanu.
The judge said the court has no option but to believe the evidence as led by the prosecution since the defendant failed to enter his defence, but chose to gamble by resting his case on that of the prosecution.
Justice Omotosho held that the prosecution led credible evidence to establish that Kanu belonged to IPOB, which had been proscribed, and its affiliate, the Eastern Security Network (ESN).
The judge also held that the prosecution proved that, by his many broadcasts, he incited his followers to v!olence, which resulted in the k!lling of security personnel and the destruction of property, including police stations across the country.
