Mazi Nnamdi Kanu Finally Appeals Terrorism Conviction, Seeks to Overturn Sentence at Appellate Court


Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the supreme leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has appealed the judgement of the federal high court in Abuja that convicted him on terrorism charges.

In an appeal filed on February 4 at the court of appeal in Abuja, Kanu asked the appellate court to quash his terrorism conviction and the sentence.

The IPOB leader argued that the life imprisonment sentence was imposed without allocutus — a statement by the defendant explaining why the court should not impose the maximum sentence for the crime.

“An Order of the Honourable Court of Appeal quashing the conviction of the Appellant in all the counts in the charge No: FHC/ABJ/CR/383/2015 by the Federal High Court Judge,” part of relief sought reads.

“An Order of the Honourable Court of Appeal quashing, reversing and setting aside the sentences/punishment imposed on the Appellant by the Honourable trial Federal High Court Judge in the charge No; FHC/ABJ/CR/383/2015.

“An Order of the Honourable Court of Appeal discharging and acquitting the Appellant in respect of all the counts in charge No. FHC/ABJ/CR/383/2015.”
