Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday sentenced Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to life imprisonment.
Justice Omotosho delivered the judgment on Thursday, four years after Kanu was arrested in Kenya under contentious circumstances and brought back to Nigeria.
Earlier, Justice Omotosho convicted Kanu, on on all the seven terrorism charges filed against him by the Federal Government.
Omotosho, cited prosecution evidence, including video interviews in which Kanu made violent threats against Nigeria and its citizens, as the basis for the conviction.
The court found Kanu guilty of counts one and two of making a series of broadcasts to incite violence and killings, in furtherance of his separatist agitation for Biafra.
