BREAKING: Court Convicts Nnamdi Kanu of FG’s Terrorism Charge
The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has found the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, guilty on count-1 of the terrorism charge the Federal Government preferred against him.

Judge Expels Kanu from courtroom
As the court prepared to deliver judgment, Kanu objected, insisting he had not filed his final written address.
Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court this morning, ordered Nnamdi Kanu out of the courtroom for unruly behaviour midway through Thursday’s proceedings.
The trial judge is set to deliver judgment in a case spanning ten years.
The judge had earlier dismissed three fresh motions filed by Kanu, ruling them unmeritorious.
As the court prepared to deliver judgment, Kanu objected, insisting he had not filed his final written address.
He raised his voice, accused the judge of bias, and declared that the court “did not know the law.”
Following the outburst, security operatives escorted Kanu from the courtroom. Justice Omotosho is now set to proceed with reading the final judgment in the long‑running terrorism case.
