We recently saw stats of which region is safe ooh

Putindbutt:
Ipob and their supporters are the biggest clowns on earth. You threatened the US and the UK yet you still pleading and begging them to come rescue you. This is why we say Nnamdi Kanu and his followers are a bunch of illiterates.
I wasn't even aware that the chief terrorist threatened the US and UK, thank God for this trial that shed more light on his atrocities. Pretty sure, the US and UK are aware of his threat against them and are fully in support to put him in prison for life.

rummmy:
inciting?
Did he kill anybody?
Why not hold and kill who killed .
Can you present any evidence of him killing anyone?
Dont forget that the actual killers up north were negotiated with and freed..
With this shamble judgement delivered by a Yoruba man... Igbos and Yorubas will never be the same..just watch and see

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.

MT:
Go and read the constitution- you don’t need to kill till you are sentenced. You can be punished for inciting violence. It’s the law.

Kukutente23:
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

trutharena:
Kanu's actions clearly went beyond legitimate self-determination advocacy into the realm of terrorism.

lilsmart:
The fairness of Nnamdi Kanu's judgment is questioned not because he is seen as blameless by all, but because the process appears politically motivated, illegal in its foundation, and applied with a clear double standard. The state's overwhelming focus on him, while seemingly turning a blind eye to the actions of other powerful individuals who have caused greater tangible harm to the Nigerian populace, creates a powerful and persistent perception of injustice and a two tiered legal system.

MEGAWATCH:
All Tinubu and APC people are doing is to distract Nigerians from the killings going on.

Let's not fall for their traps.

Tinubu if you are overwhelmed please resign and leave for goodness sake.

Devil's in leadership positions.

We called for terrorists to be dealt with and a terrorist has just been sentenced to life imprisonment and we are angry? Terrorists are terrorists whether Christians or muslims.

Was Kanu ready for negotiation? You saw all his conduct in the open.

Epiphany77:
Bizarre logic,imagine a thief is caught and his defence is that why was too much focus on me and not other thieves?

Vision101:
The other actors though illegal were hiding while doing what they are doing. Kanu was so bold. Looked at president Buhari and insulted him to no end. Carried all manner of propaganda against him. If you were in the south east his broadcasts were like order from the president. The Biafran flag was everywhere. People's businesses and lives were disrupted. Schools were closed. Children couldn't take their exams. Many people up till now don't go to their villages because of ESN.

In all these he kept being arrogant and insulting everyone including courts and judges.

Omoluabi16:
Kanu talked too much. No tact no nothing. It was just emotion upon emotion. He once threatened to go to Abuja and bring buhari's head back to his people. Unfortunately, a whole lot of misguided people took him too serious and started disturbing the peace. Imaging him inserting himself to that Endsars crisis. Life imprisonment is tough. I feel for his young family.

Putindbutt:
Una go too collect, you know say your region is the smallest in the country. If you are deluding yourself that you can hit and hide like bandits do in the north. SE terrain is very easy to navigate.

‎
‎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.
‎

Vision101:
Case that Kanu dragged on for almost 10 years? He wanted the beat to continue so that he will continue to make money and enjoy the limelight.

BarrElChapo:
Good riddance to bad rubbish. His actions devastated my beloved state, anambra. Let him rot in prison.

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 also as the next Ojukwu, no govt. would appreciate that, even Sunday Igboho too had to be humbled by the Govt.

Can't also forget an incident where he went to face the soldiers, beating his chest, the soldiers were just looking at him, if they had picked him up right there, nothing would happen.

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, a whole sitting president, even Tompolo with all his heavy duty guards and munitions won't say that, can't forget that.

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