Prosecutors in the terrorism case against Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), have asked the Federal High Court in Abuja to impose the maximum punishment of death.

Lead prosecution counsel, Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN), told the court that more than 75 security operatives were killed in attacks allegedly linked to Kanu, his group, and followers. He added that several civilians also lost their lives, with public infrastructure destroyed in the process.

Awomolo argued that the death sentence would serve justice for the victims of the alleged acts of terrorism.

Presiding judge, Justice James Omotosho, has stood down proceedings and is expected to deliver sentencing by 4pm today.
