The charges included conspiracy to conceal information about Danranmi Larg, a notorious bandit, and failing to disclose information to law enforcement that could assist in apprehending him. Sani was also found guilty of receiving 580,000 Naira to purchase ammunition for Larg, which he knew would be used to commit terrorist acts.
The sentence took effect from his arrest date on January 11, 2023, and he is to serve his term at Kuje Correctional Centre in Abuja.
