A Nigerian court on Wednesday sentenced Nnamdi Kanu, leader
of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), to life imprisonment, along with
additional 20-year and 5-year sentences, all to run concurrently. There is no
option of fine for any of the sentences.
Delivering judgment, Judge Omosho noted that Kanu has a
tendency for violence and ordered that he be kept in a facility suitable for
high-risk inmates, adding that placing him in Kuje Prison may not be
appropriate.
The court’s ruling comes after Kanu was convicted on
terrorism-related charges, following a trial that has drawn significant
national and international attention.
