Three men have been sentenced to life imprisonment by a Federal High Court in Abuja over their involvement in the kidnapping of students and teachers at a school in Orire Local Government Area of Oyo State.
The convicts, Abdulrazak Umar, also known as Abu Khalifa or Abu Khalid, Yunusa Musa, also known as Yunusa bin Musa, and Shamsu Adamu Sani, also known as Abu Itisar, were convicted after pleading guilty to some of the charges filed against them by the Federal Government.
The trio had been arraigned on a 10-count charge bordering on terrorism, kidnapping, concealment of information, incitement and illegal mining. They admitted concealing information about the masterminds behind the school attack and also pleaded guilty to being members of Darul Salam, which the prosecution identified as an affiliate of Jama’atu Ansarul Muslimina Fi Biladis Sudan (Ansaru), a terrorist organisation banned in Nigeria.
