The Federal High Court has concluded the trial of over 200 individuals accused of involvement in terrorist activities in Nigeria.

Based on the evidence presented, the court convicted the defendants and issued sentences proportional to their crimes. According to the National Counter-Terrorism Center under the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA), penalties ranged from death sentences to life imprisonment, with some receiving prison terms between 20 and 70 years.

A detailed report of the verdicts was released, outlining the judgments for each individual. The Attorney General’s Office also provided updates on the progress of the trials, which were overseen by five judges at Kainji Prison.

During the proceedings, 237 suspects were tried. Those sentenced to death were found guilty of grave offenses, including attacks on women and children and the destruction of religious buildings. Among the condemned were those responsible for killings and abductions during an assault on Gina Kara Kai in Borno State.

The Presidential Advisory Committee described the rulings as a significant step in combating terrorism linked to groups such as Boko Haram, IPOB, and other armed factions. They emphasized that the trials adhered to international standards, ensuring justice and supporting efforts to bring stability to conflict-affected areas.

Additionally, individuals involved in supporting coup attempts were sentenced to life imprisonment. Authorities urged Nigerians to remain vigilant, foster unity, and report any suspicious activities to security agencies to enhance national security and peace.
