The Federal High Court in Abuja has convicted the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, on the first count in the seven-count terrorism charge filed against him by the Federal Government.
The first count, threat to violence, was read moments ago by Justice James Omotosho, who ruled that the prosecution successfully established the elements of the offence against Kanu.
The court immediately proceeded to the second charge, which borders on Kanu’s alleged directive ordering a sit-at-home across the South-East and issuing threats to kill anyone who stepped out or violated the order.
The judge is currently reading the ruling on count two.
Kanu is standing trial on seven counts, including terrorism, incitement, threats to public safety, and issuing unlawful orders.
