THE Federal High Court sitting in Abuja presided over by Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Abuja explained why he opted for a life sentence instead of the death penalty for Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), who was convicted of terrorism charges on Thursday, November 21, 2025.
The judge noted that the sentence for Nnamdi Kanu was the death penalty, but that he had to show mercy because of the teachings of the Holy Book.
According to him, the death penalty is gradually being abolished in many countries, while religious doctrines also advocate mercy.
Quoting a portion of the book of Matthew, Justice Omotosho pointed out that Jesus Christ taught His followers to show mercy.
Justice Omotosho further held that Kanu’s confinement must be in a facility suitable for his status, noting that the Kuje Correctional Centre would not achieve the intended purpose of the sentence.
He ordered that the IPOB leader be placed in protective custody at any secure location in the country.
