4 Boko Haram Members Sentenced To Life Imprisonment Over Suleja, Nasarawa Bombings

Four members of the Boko Haram sect have been sentenced to life imprisonment over Suleja, Nasarawa bombings.

The Federal High Court in Abuja convicted four Boko Haram members for illegal training in arms, transportation of improvised explosive devices and participating in terrorist activities and bombings which claimed several lives and injured many.

The High Court sentenced Shuaibu Abubakar, Salisu Ahmed, Umar Babagana-Umar and Mohammed Ali to life imprisonment.

Justice Bilkisu Aliyu, who delivered the judgment, also sentenced Umar Ibrahim, another accused person, to 10 years in prison, stating innocence and tender age for the reduction of penalty.

Justice Aliyu discharged and acquitted Musa Adam on the grounds that none of the charge proferred against him linked him to any of the terrorist acts.
