Nnamdi Kanu, Biafra separatist leader, just got life for terrorism in Nigeria. Biafra’s still a flashpoint for independence dreams.
Nigerian court reaffirms that self-determination outside the constitution is illegal, convicting Nnamdi Kanu, founder of IPOB, who seeks independence for Biafra. Kanu's calls for secession have led to accusations of terrorism and historical conflict, including the Nigerian Civil War.
Nnamdi Kanu, leader of IPOB, was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for terrorism by a Nigerian court. The case stems from his broadcasts inciting violence and advocating for Biafra independence. The ruling has sparked outrage in the South-east and raised concerns over regional stability.
