SOKOTO — A High Court in Sokoto State has sentenced three convicted terrorists, including a foreign national, to death by hanging for terrorism-related offences and illegal arms trafficking.
The convicts, identified as Jabbi Alhaji Yalle, a citizen of Niger Republic, Yusuf Muhammad, popularly known as Sallau, and Kabiru Muhammad, were found guilty following a prosecution initiated by the Department of State Services (DSS).
Delivering judgment in suit number SS/45C/2026, Justice Nuraddeen Muhammed Bello of High Court No. 23, Sokoto, held that the prosecution proved its case beyond reasonable doubt through evidence and witness testimonies presented before the court.
“The evidence before this court clearly establishes the culpability of the defendants in the offences of terrorism and arms trafficking,” the judge ruled.
