Life Term for Nnamdi Kanu: Appeals Process Begins Amid Procedural Claims

  Abuja —  Leader of the banned Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, will challenge the life-imprisonment ruling handed down by a Federal High Court in Abuja, his legal team has confirmed. The sentence followed his conviction on all seven terrorism-related charges filed by the federal government.  Justice James Omotosho delivered the verdict, sentencing Kanu to life imprisonment on five counts, 20 years on another, and a further five years without an option of a fine on the final count. The development, according to Kanu’s counsel, marks the beginning of an appeal process they believe “will not stand.”  In a detailed statement issued following the judgment, Kanu accused the government of forming a “fraudulent alliance” with the judiciary, alleging procedural violations including his extraordinary rendition from Kenya in 2021 without proper legal basis. He cited rulings of the Federal High Court and the Court of Appeal as demonstrating bias in his treatm...

Application of Stoichiometry in Chemistry Calculations

    Stoichiometry is the quantitative study of the reactants and products involved in a chemical reaction. Stoichiometry is also the calculation of products and reactants in a chemical reaction. It deals with the number of products and reactants involved in a chemical reaction.   Importance of Chemical Stoichiometry It helps chemists to use balanced chemical equations to determine the moles of reactants and products in a chemical reaction. It helps to determine the mass of reactants and products required or present in a chemical reaction. It helps chemists measure the molecular weight of substances. It helps to measure the formulae. Basic Concepts of Stoichiometric Reaction In a stoichiometric reaction, there are some basic things to note to make it easier to understand. We can get the pictures of these things by considering the equation below:      3Fe(S) + 4H2O(I) → Fe3O4(S) + 4H2(g)    The stoichiometric coefficient of this chemical reaction ...
