Nnamdi Kanu, a Nigerian separatist leader, has been found guilty of terrorism charges by a court in Nigeria after a lengthy legal battle. Kanu, known for his campaign for the separate state of Biafra, has been convicted on multiple charges including terrorism and treason. The verdict could potentially lead to a death penalty, although this is uncommon in Nigeria. Kanu, associated with the Indigenous People Of Biafra (Ipob) movement, has denied the charges and challenged the court's authority throughout the trial.
