This is actually not joke. They are suppose to treat anything or anybody supporting Ipob as terrorist and threats to the nation after today's ruling

What's going on ⁉️
No one expected this unusual verdict 😕

I'm sure it's a smart way to divert the attention from the security collapse in the country.

Knowing well Nnamdi KANU will certainly appeal the shameless verdict.

With the way 80% of people here are celebrating and justifying this judgement. Nigeria won't get it right any time soon. Leaving the weightier matters and running after smaller things

‎What Nigerian Law Says

‎1. Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022

‎This is the current law (it replaced the earlier 2011 Act).

‎Under this Act, a person who threatens to do an act preparatory to or in furtherance of an act of terrorism commits an offence.

‎The law also penalizes assisting, facilitating, organizing, or inciting terrorism.



‎2. Definition of an “Act of Terrorism”

‎Under the old Terrorism (Prevention) Act (2011), which is largely carried forward: an “act of terrorism” is defined as something done with malice aforethought that:

‎May seriously harm or damage Nigeria (or an international body), and

‎Is intended to:

‎Unduly compel a government to act or not act,

‎Seriously intimidate the public, or

‎Destabilize political, economic, or social structures.



‎And the act involves things like attacks on life, destruction of infrastructure, or other severe harm.



‎3. Punishment

‎Under the older Act, threatening or preparing a terrorist act, or facilitating terrorism, can lead to life imprisonment or a very large fine.

‎The 2022 Act has its own set of penalties (depending on the offence), but the principle remains: threats are criminalized when they constitute terrorism.



‎Interpretation & Key Points

‎Threats are explicitly covered: Nigerian law doesn’t only target actual “violent acts” — it also criminalizes threats of terrorism.

‎Intent matters: The threatened act must be “in furtherance of” terrorism. That means it's not just any threat — it should be related to coercion, intimidation, or destabilization with a political or ideological aim.

‎Severity of the threat: For something to legally count as terrorism, the underlying act (or the threatened act) generally has to be serious (e.g., risk of death, big damage, or major public disruption).

‎Reporting obligations: Under the law, if you have material information (i.e., knowledge) about potential terrorism acts, failing to report it to authorities is itself an offence.

Thank you
I believe Kanu was tried under the 2011 Act but the 2022 act since he committed those offences before 2022.
It seems the 2022 act expanded what constitutes "act" to include intent and incitement. But the 2011 act is much narrower in its definition
Re: Judge Declares Nnamdi Kanu An International Terrorist by MT: 8:33pm On Nov 20, 2025
He is an international terrorist for attempting to destroy the US and the UK consulates.

Man ought to have threaded carefully too.
He was kinda arrogant during this reign and still arrogant in the court

Imagine eastern ppl bowing to him and women laying down their clothes for him to walk on, no big deal in all those, but the feelings he demonstrated on those events, indicated he's already seeing himself as their lord.

Can't also forget an incident where he went to face the soldiers, beating chest, there's also a place he was telling his followers, saying he would go to Abuja and come back with the head of the president, during Buhari's regime can't forget that.

Should Buhari be alive and still the president, this would have been a different sentence.

Mr Man Threaded with so much pride and arrogance mhen, it's well.
If only Eastern "loyalty" ever counted! grin
Re: Judge Declares Nnamdi Kanu An International Terrorist by rummmy: 8:34pm On Nov 20, 2025
Why didn't the judge sentence him to death?
Congratulations to Yoruba people...
Time will tell
Re: Judge Declares Nnamdi Kanu An International Terrorist by chaloskyx: 8:34pm On Nov 20, 2025
You guys shiuld have just given him the death penalty keeping him in prison is just going to make the easterners hate the fact that theur leader is in prison and would incite them even more

I'm interested in understanding how saying something or issuing threats constitutes "acts" of terrorism

Fergie001 =DeepSight any lawyer in the house help with the legal definition of acts of terrorism for the sake of enlightenment
Make you and person de drag land, and the person come knock your door by 12midnight telling you say he go kpai you before day break, make you just dismiss am as ordinary talk and no report to police you hear?

Shimbo96:
was OSAMA BIN LADEN a terrorist or not? Yes , so tell me the different between him and NNAMDI KANU.
Osama Bin Laden sponsored, planned and executed terrorist acts
Nnamdi Kanu called for terrorist acts
That's the basic difference.
The big question is if calling for terrorist acts constitutes a terrorist act in itself
For example Pantami was known to have called for support for Al-Qaeda in the past. Does that constitute a terrorist act since Al-Qaeda is a terrorist outfit?

If I report to police, will the police arrest him and charge him to court for premeditated murder?

Just look at the people oozing mucus from all body crevices , wailing over the just reward a odious being got for his atrocities and then you begin to have a clear understanding why terrorists in the North are not defeated by our gallant soldiers till now . It's their sympathisers shielding and defending them like they've been doing with this convicted one that is the bane of fighting terrorist .

And if the threat is on a wide scale, say threat against multiple people from various back ground/location, what would be the charge?

That is the problem with the black man, always sentimental even to his own detriment, instead of being logical.
