Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been charged afresh by the Nigerian government.

The new 15-count terrorist charge was submitted at the Federal High Court in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, on Friday last week (FCT).

According to Channels Television, the charging sheet was signed on behalf of the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami, by the Director of Public Prosecutions of the Federation, MB Abubakar.

Count One of the charges read, “That you Nnamdi Kanu, Male, Adult, of Afatanukwu Ibeku, Umuahia North Local Government Area of Abia State sometimes in 2021 being a member and leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, a proscribed Organisation, did commit an act in furtherance of an act of Terrorism against the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the People of Nigeria by making a broadcast received and heard in Nigeria within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, with intent to intimidate the population and you threatened that people will die, the whole world will stand still and you thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 1(2)(b) of the Terrorism Prevention Amendment Act, 2013.”

“That you Nnamdi Kanu, Male, Adult, of Afatanukwu Ibeku, Umuahia North Local Government Area of Abia State on diverse dates between the month of March and April 2015 imported into Nigeria and kept in Ubulisiuzor in Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, a Radio Transmitter known as Tram 50L concealed in a container of used household items which you declared as used household items, and you thereby committed an offence contrary to section 47(2)(a) of Criminal Code Act, Cap, C45 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004,” another count read.

The government filed an amended seven-count accusation against the incarcerated IPOB leader in October of last year, allegations that included treasonable crime and his alleged involvement in acts of terrorism in the same court.

Kanu, who was originally charged with seven counts of treasonable crime, will now enter a new plea to a 15-count amended charge.

He was first detained in 2015 on allegations that included terrorism, treasonable felony, operating an unlawful society, publishing defamatory material, illegal guns possession, and improper importation of commodities, among others.

In an exclusive interview with Channels Television, President Buhari emphasized that the IPOB leader should be held accountable for his acts over the years, particularly when he was out of the nation.
