A Nigerian court on Thursday handed a life sentence to separatist leader Nnamdi Kanu on terrorism charges.
Kanu pictured in 2017 leads the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB, which advocates for a seperate Biafran nation in the country's Igbo-dominated southeast but is proscribed in Nigeria as a terrorist organisation.
Judge James Omotosho said prosecutors proved that his broadcasts and orders to his group incited deadly attacks on security forces and citizens.
