The Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday sentenced three terrorists linked to the May abduction of school children and teachers in Orire Local Government Area (LGA) of Oyo State, to a life imprisonment.
Justice Salim Ibrahim sentenced the three men after they pleaded guilty to some of the 10 terrorism charges preferred against them by the federal government.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that 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), pleaded guilty to counts four and six.
PREMIUM TIMES earlier reported that the three defendants pleaded guilty to some of the 10 charges when 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.
