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...

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

Nnamdi Kanu has announced plans to appeal his life sentence after being convicted on seven terrorism charges, citing alleged procedural irregularities.

  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 treatment. 

For many observers, the case transcends individual fate and taps into broader regional and constitutional tensions. The southeast-based IPOB leader’s conviction and immediate appeal plan are expected to stir further debate about national security, self-determination, and the rule of law in Nigeria.

Stoichiometry Tutorial Step by Step

  Stoichiometry is the study of the quantity of the reactants and products involved in a chemical reaction. It can also be defined as the determination of the ratio in which elements or compounds react with one another in a chemical reaction. Method Calculating Stoichiometric Problems In stoichiometric calculation, the basic method of calculating the problems is by converting one quantity to another using the conversion factors which are usually found in a balanced chemical equation. These conversion factors are the important ratios which can be turned into a fraction to produce the desired results. The molar mass of a substance is one of the important conversion units which is defined as the mass of one mole of a substance expressed in grams. Types of Stoichiometry Calculations or Problems There are four basic types of stoichiometry calculations which include: 1.        Mass-to-mass conversion 2.        Mass...

Application of Gay-Lussac’s Law of Combining Volumes

Gay Lussac’s of combining volumes states that gases react in simple ratio with one another and to volumes of the products provided that temperature and pressure remain constant. In this article, you will understand how to apply this law in calculation by studying the following examples below: 1.     2H 2 + O 2 → H 2 O In the reaction above, what volume of hydrogen would be left over when 300cm 3 of oxygen and hydrogen are exploded in a sealed tube?   1cm 3 of oxygen = 2cm 3 of hydrogen 300cm 3 of oxygen = 2 x 300 = 600cm 3 Volume of left over = 1000 – 600 = 400cm 3 2.     Calculate the volume of carbon (II) oxide required to react with 40cm 3 of oxygen. 2CO + O 2 → 2CO 2 1cm 3 of oxygen = 2cm 3 of CO 40cm 3 of oxygen = 2 x 40 = 80cm 3 3.     Calculate the volume of residual gases that would be produced when 100cm 3 of sulphur (IV) oxide reacts with 20cm 3 of oxygen    2SO 2 + O 2 → 2SO 3...

Qualitative Analysis of inorganic Compound

  This is a type analysis which involves the identification of the ions ( cation and anion) in a given inorganic substance. Thus, Qualitative analysis deals with the identification of the compound. To effectively identify the ions, it is necessary to be able to observe the presence of any chemical reaction which is normally recognized by ·         Colour change ·         Evolution of gas ·         Precipitation      Colour Change : colour change is associated with transition metal ions. The major cause of the colour in transition metal ions is electronic transition within the d-block level. The colour of light which show, is the colour of light which is reflected by the ion. This change of transition metal ions is common when they form a bond with water or ammonia. It is important to note that zinc does not form coloured ion, this is because zinc ...
