A federal high court in Lagos yesterday sentenced three suspected Boko Haram terrorists to 25 years in jail with hard labour.
Ali Mohammed, Adamu Karumi and Ibrahim Usman were
the individuals sentenced for “conspiracy to commit terrorism, illegal
possession of firearms, and being members of a proscribed organisation,”
ThisDay reports.
The convicts were among 17 others, who
were charged before the court in November 2013. However, the case
against the other 14 was dismissed as a result of inadequate evidence.
According to reports, the accused
persons were caught in Lekki Phase 1, in possession of two suitcases
containing explosives, a water container filled with explosives, 200
rounds of 7.6 millimetres live ammunition, three packets of explosive
construction pipes, 15 detonators, 11 AK47 rifles, and other ammunition.
