The prosecution in the terrorism trial of Nnamdi Kanu of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has “urged a Federal High Court in Abuja to sentence him to the maximum punishment of the death penalty.”
Prosecuting lawyer, Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN) said “more than 75 security personnel lost their lives due to the terrorist activities of Kanu, his groups and followers, while many other innocent Nigerians were also killed and public property destroyed.”
Awomolo said the subjection of Kanu to the “maximum punishment will serve justice to all the victims of his acts of terrorism.”
Justice James Omotosho has “stood down proceedings in the case till some minutes to 4 pm for him to pronounce sentence.”
