… as defendants plead guilty to FG’s allegations
By Ikechukwu Nnochiri, Abuja
The Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced three persons to life in prison over their complicity in the kidnapping of students and teachers of a school in Orire Local Government Area (LGA) of Oyo State.
Justice Salim Ibrahim convicted and sentenced the defendants, Abdulrazak Umar (a.k.a. Abu Khalifa/Abu Khalid), Yunusa Musa (a.k.a. Yunusa bin Musa), and Shamsu Adamu Sani (a.k.a. Abu Itisar), after they pleaded guilty to some of the allegations the Federal Government levelled against them.
The defendants were, on Thursday, docked before the court on a 10-count charge that bordered on terrorism, kidnapping, concealment, incitement, and illegal mining.
