The Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday, convicted Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on all seven counts of terrorism offences.

The judge held that the evidence of the prosecution was uncontroverted, Kanu, having failed to open his defence.

The judge dismissed Kanu’s argument that the charges against him were invalid because they were based on repealed Terrorism Prevention Act 2013.
