An Abuja Division of the Federal High Court on Thursday sentenced the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, to life in prison for terrorism and other charges.

Justice James Omotoso sentenced the IPOB leader on Thursday.

Presiding over seven count charges bordering on terrorism, inciting violence, ordering sit at home amongst others against Mr Kanu, Mr Omotoso pronounced judgement in Mr Kanu’s absence, berating him as “unruly” for disrupting court proceedings.”

Justice Omotosho consequently sentenced the IPOB leader to life imprisonment in counts one, four, five and six, instead of death sentence penalty.

According to the judge, life is sacred to God.

The judge, who sentenced Kanu to a 20-year jail term in count three, however, committed him to three years imprisonment in count seven.
