The Nigerian government has demanded the imposition of death sentence on Nnamdi Kanu following his conviction on terrorism charges.
Counsel to the Federal Government, Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN,
informed the court that the sections of the law under which Kanu was charged
and convicted carried death sentence without any option.
Addressing the court after the pronouncement, the senior
lawyer said the court has no discretion to exercise than to impose maximum
punishment on him in line with the dictates of the law.
Awomolo held that Kanu throughout the trial did not show
remorse for the offences he committed against the Federal Republic of Nigeria
but chose to be militant, arrogant and unruly in his attitude.
He also demanded that all properties seized from Kanu be
forfeited to the Federal Government.
The prosecution counsel equally demanded that Kanu be taken
to prison where his security will be guaranteed till when the judgment against
him would be executed.
