Paschal Emeka, Abuja
The Federal Government has amended the seven-count terrorism charges against Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and subsequently filed the new seven-count charge against him.
The amended charge marked FHC/ABJ/CR/383/2015, which was entered before the Federal High Court in Abuja, contained all allegations against Kanu that were earlier sustained by the court.
In a broadcast, the Federal Government said Kanu had issued a deadly threat that anyone who flouted IPOB’s sit-at-home order in the South-East should write his or her will.
Also, the Government claimed that in 2018, Kanu severally made broadcasts that incited his members to kill security operatives and families.
