Abuja, Nigeria – The Court of Appeal in Abuja has dismissed the appeal filed by Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), upholding his conviction for terrorism.
The appellate court ruled that Kanu’s appeal lacked merit and described it as effectively academic. In its judgment, the court found no substantial grounds to overturn the decision of the lower court, which convicted Kanu on terrorism-related charges.
Kanu, whose trial and conviction have attracted both national and international attention, remains in custody pending the enforcement of his sentence.
The ruling underscores the judiciary’s position on the handling of terrorism-related convictions and is likely to have significant implications for the ongoing security and political discourse surrounding separatist movements in the country.
