A federal high court in Abuja on Thursday found Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, guilty on the first count in the seven-count terrorism case brought against him.
The ruling marks a new turn in a trial that has stretched across years and drawn wide national attention.
The decision was delivered by Justice James Omotosho, who reviewed the case built by federal prosecutors. The court relied on recorded interviews in which Kanu was seen issuing threatening remarks directed at the country and its citizens, forming the core of the evidence presented by the prosecution.
The conviction comes as the latest development in a legal battle that has shaped much of the national conversation around security, separatism and governance. More updates are expected as the court continues with the remaining charges.
