Three men linked to the kidnapping of school children and teachers in Orire Local Government Area (LGA) of Oyo State in May pleaded guilty on Thursday to terrorsim charges before the Federal High Court in Abuja.
The three men are Abdulrazak Umar, also known as Abu Khalifa/Abu Khalid, Yunusa Musa, also known as Yunusa bin Musa, and Shamsu Adamu Sani, alias Abu Itisar.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the men, who were arrested by the State Security Service (SSS), all hail from Suleja LGA of Niger State.
The three defendants pleaded guilty to some of the 10 charges brought against them as they made their first court appearance on Thursday, about six days after the federal government filed the charges last Friday.
They pleaded guilty to six counts in total.
