The leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, on Thursday was found guilty on count 1 of the terrorism charges against him.
A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja presided over by Justice Omotosho , who gave the verdict today said that the IPOB leader is guilty of committing an act of terrorism against the Federal Republic of Nigeria by threatening that people will die and the world will be at a standstill during a live broadcast.
The Judge said, “Mr Kanu knew what he was doing , he was bent on carrying out these threats without consideration to his own people.
“He had the duty to explain himself but failed to do so.”
It was gathered that a tense and dramatic atmosphere was recorded in the Federal High Court during the ongoing judgment proceeding of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Leader, Nnamdi Kanu, before Justice James Omotosho.
It was gathered that drama ensued in the courtroom after Justice Omotosho dismissed a fresh bail application filed by Kanu, a move which caused Kanu to lose his temper and raise his voice in court.
During the proceedings, Kanu asked the court to grant him bail in light of what he described as concurrent judgments of superior courts.
