The Federal High Court in Abuja has convicted the leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu on all 7-count charge filed against him by the government, even  as the Nigerian Government has urged the court to impose death sentence on Kanu.

The ruling came after Justice Omotosho ordered that Kanu be taken  out of the court for disrupting court proceedings. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu had insisted that justice cannot be delivered in the terrorism charge brought against him by the government.

Counsel to the federal government, Adegboyega Awomolo SAN informed the court that the sections of the law under which Kanu was charged and convicted carried death sentence without any option.

Addressing the court after the pronouncement, the senior lawyer said that the court has no discretion to exercise than to impose maximum punishment on him in line with the dictate of the law.

Awomolo, SAN, held that Kanu throughout the trial did not show remorse for the offence he committed against the Federal Republic of Nigeria but chose to be militant, arrogant and unruly in his attitude.

He demanded that all properties seized from Kanu be forfeited to the federal government.

The senior lawyer also demanded that Kanu be taken to and kept in a prison where his security will be guaranteed till when judgment against him would be executed.

After his presentation, the court asked Barr Aloy Ejimakor who was present in court to make allocution on behalf of his then client.

Ejimakor then asked that the lawmaker representing Kanu in the House of Representatives, Hon Obinna Aguocha should do so.
