The leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has been sentenced to life imprisonment.
Justice James Omotosho delivered the ruling on Thursday.
The Federal High Court in Abuja found the detained IPOB leader guilty on count one of the terrorism charges brought against him by the Federal Government.
The court held that it was satisfied that Mr Kanu made a series of broadcasts inciting violence and killings in furtherance of his separatist campaign for Biafra.
The judge reiterated that the evidence before the court demonstrated that the broadcasts were aimed at provoking unrest and promoting acts of violence connected to the secessionist movement.
