Kanu’s Conviction Has No Basis In Law – IPOB

 The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has dismissed the ruling of the Federal High Court, Abuja, which sentenced its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, to life imprisonment on seven terrorism-related charges.

In a statement issued on Friday, IPOB’s spokesperson, Emma Powerful, insisted that Kanu “committed no offence known to Nigerian law,” arguing that his actions were rooted in the pursuit of self-determination, a right he said is protected under multiple international treaties.

He accused the trial judge, Justice James Kolawole Omotosho, of failing to apply constitutional standards required for criminal convictions.
