Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, to life imprisonment on counts one, two, four, five and six, opting against the death penalty sought by the Federal Government.
On count three, the court handed Kanu a 20-year jail term, while he was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment on count seven.
Justice Omotosho ordered that all the sentences run concurrently, meaning Kanu will serve a life term in prison.
