Three Sentenced for Terrorism in Kebbi, Nigeria
Aliyu Hadari and Umar Musa Uzzi were sentenced to 15 years’ imprisonment each, while Liu, a Chinese national, received a six-year sentence for terrorism-related offenses. The sentencing occurred at the Federal High Court in Birnin Kebbi, presided over by Justice Emmanuel Gakko.
The court found that the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that the defendants provided logistical support to terrorists and conspired to commit terrorism, violating the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022. The defendants were intercepted along Yauri Road while traveling in a vehicle allegedly acquired specifically to transport kidnap victims to a forest hideout.
Additionally, the court ordered the forfeiture of the vehicle and a Bajaj motorcycle to the Federal Government, establishing their connection to the offenses.
