The three accused persons put on trial by the Department of State Services (DSS) for their involvement in the kidnapping of schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo State’s Orire local government area have been sentenced to life in prison for belonging to a proscribed terrorist group.
Abdulrazak Umar, alias Abu Khalifa/Abu Khalid; Yunusa Musa, alias Yunusa Bin Musa; and Shamsu Adamu Sani, alias Abu Itisar, were convicted and sentenced to life in prison by Justice Salim Ibrahim of the Federal High Court in Abuja after admitting to being associates of the bandits responsible for the kidnapping.
Although they were tried on ten counts, they pleaded guilty to counts four and six, among others, and were sentenced to life in prison for concealing knowledge of the bandits’ operations.
