The Federal High Court, Abuja Division, on Thursday found the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, guilty of the terrorism charge filed against him by Federal Government.

Justice James Omotosho said he convicted Mr Kanu, for what he described as “uncontroverted evidence” adduced before the court by the prosecution.

He said that he was satisfied that Mr Kanu made a series of broadcasts to incite violence and killings, in furtherance of his separatist agitation for Biafra.
