Justice Omotosho

Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Abuja, says he opted for a life sentence rather than imposing the death penalty on the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

On Thursday, Justice convicted Kanu of the terrorism charges preferred against him by the Department of State Services.

Omotosho noted that the sentence for the offences brought against Nnamdi Kanu was the death penalty, but he had to temper justice with mercy because of the teachings of the Holy Book.

The judge stressed that the death penalty is gradually being abolished in many countries, just as religious doctrines also advocate mercy.

Quoting verses from the book of Matthew in the Bible, the trial judge pointed out that Jesus Christ taught His followers to always exhibit mercy.

Justice Omotosho however held that the IPOB leader’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.

The court ordered that Kanu be kept in protective custody at any secure location in the country.

The judge also ruled that Kanu must not have access to electronic devices unless under strict monitoring by the Office of the National Security Adviser.

The judge also ordered the forfeiture of the transmitter used for Kanu’s broadcasts to the Federal Government, adding that other equipment linked to the case would also be confiscated if no appeal is filed.

  1. naturally like your web site however you need to take a look at the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth on the other hand I will surely come again again.

  2. Durch strenge Regularien bekommt nicht jedes online Casino die Möglichkeit,
    seinen Spielern solche Zahlungsanbieter bieten zu können. Daher empfehlen wir, nicht direkt in einem neuen online Casino 2025 zu spielen, auch wenn der Bonus
    oder das Angebot verlockend sein sollte.
    Online-Casinos für das Handy, auch bekannt als mobile Casinos, bieten Spielern die Möglichkeit, Casino-Spiele direkt über ihr Smartphone
    oder Tablet zu spielen.
    Jeder Spieler würde lieber in einem Casino spielen, das seine Gewinne innerhalb
    von Minuten ohne Probleme abheben kann,
    als in einem Casino, das ewig braucht. Auch wenn jedes Casino eine Reihe der
    beliebtesten Casinospiele anbietet, die den größten Teil des Casinogewinns ausmachen, und diese
    Auswahl ausreichend zu sein scheint, schätzen die Spieler dennoch die Auswahl.
    Wenn Sie sich in einem neuen Online-Casino anmelden oder eine
    Werbeaktion in einem Casino nutzen, in dem Sie bereits spielen, werden Sie auf eine Vielzahl von Bonusangeboten stoßen. Wenn
    es um Ein- und Auszahlungen in deutschen Online-Casinos geht, gibt es eine breite
    Palette von Zahlungsmethoden, die alle schnell und sicher sind.
    Wir raten deutschen Spielern dazu, bei der Auswahl eines Online Casinos genau auf die Lizenz und Lizenzierungsbehörde zu achten, um Probleme zu vermeiden.
