The Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday sentenced a 37-year-old man, Zakaria Garba, to death by hanging over his involvement in the 2014 Nyanya Motor Park bomb explosions.
No fewer than 70 people were killed, while several others sustained varying degrees of injuries.
Justice James Omotsoho, in a judgment delivered in the just-concluded Abuja mass trial of suspected terrorists, also handed down a life imprisonment for Garba in another count of the five-count charge.
Justice Omotosho convicted the defendant after he pleaded guilty to the five counts preferred against him by the Federal Government.
