Justice James Omotosho found Kanu guilty on four of the seven charges and imposed additional terms of 20 years and five years on two other counts. The judge ruled that the prosecution proved its case and said Kanu offered “no credible defence”.
Omotosho described Kanu as an “international terrorist” with a “tendency for violence”, adding that he was unfit for Kuje prison. He ordered that Kanu be kept in a special protective facility without access to electronic devices, except under the supervision of the National Security Adviser.
Items recovered from him, including a transmitter, were forfeited to the Federal Government.
