Maxwell Opara, human rights lawyer for Nnamdi Kanu, has strongly denounced the life imprisonment sentence handed to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, calling it the “highest injustice in the entire world.”

Speaking Opara declared that Kanu, who was convicted on all seven counts of terrorism by Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja, is not a terrorist but a political prisoner. He urged Nigerians of conscience to rally behind efforts to overturn the ruling on appeal.

“The people of the Southeast know that Nnamdi Kanu is not a criminal, he’s not a terrorist,” Opara said. “As of yesterday, when the judgment was given, delegates in the United States raised this issue — highlighting how unjustly he’s been treated in Nigeria.”

Opara added that some of the most powerful figures abroad are watching closely, and appealed to the Court of Appeal to set aside the verdict. He lamented that Kanu was attacked in his own home, with the government allegedly killing dozens of people in the process. “He was in his house enjoying himself… the Federal Government went to his house unprovoked and killed 38 persons,” Opara claimed.

He portrayed the trial as part of a broader persecution of the Igbo people. “This is a war against Igbos. The Igbos are on trial,” he told journalists in earlier remarks.

Opara also criticized what he described as selective enforcement of court orders. He said IPOB’s supporters never saw a legitimate court mandate banning protests for Kanu’s release, calling the government’s refusal to honor favorable judgments a double standard.

On Thursday, Justice Omotosho sentenced Kanu to life imprisonment on four of the counts, with additional concurrent terms (20 years on one count, 5 years on another).
