The convicted terror suspect, Muhammad Sani
By TAIYE AGBAJE
The Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday sentenced Muhammad Sani, an associate of Danranmi, a notorious bandit who supplied arms and ammunition to kidnappers and bandits, to 20 years imprisonment.
Justice Emeka Nwite, in a judgment, convicted Sani, who was arrested and prosecuted by the Department of State Services (DSS), for concealing information that could have led to the arrest of Danranmi.
The judge committed him to a 20-year jail term each in counts one and two without an option of fine.
Justice Nwite, ordered that the sentencing must run concurrently beginning from Jan. 11, 2023, the date of his arrest.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the DSS had preferred a four-count charge bordering on terrorism-related offences against Sani.
The offence is contrary to Section 26(1) of the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act 2022 and punishable under Section 16(1)(b) of the same Act. (NAN)
