The counsel to the Federal Government, Adegboyega Awomolo, has hailed the sentencing of the leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, to life imprisonment, saying it signals that no one is above the country’s law.
Awomolo spoke at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday after Kanu was convicted of seven counts of terrorism.
“So I congratulate Nigeria today for seeing the end of this, and let it be a warning: those who may think they are bigger than Nigeria — Nigeria is bigger than every one of us,” Awolowo, the prosecuting counsel, told journalists after the court delivered the judgement.
“The law is bigger than every one of us, and the law will take its course to deal with miscreants, to deal with terrorists, to deal with criminals. You know, all of us are victims when we keep quiet. All of us are victims when we don’t do what we ought to do”.
