The Federal Government has secured the conviction of 386 out of 508 suspected terrorists arraigned before the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court.
The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), disclosed this on Friday at the conclusion of the mass trial.
Fagbemi said eight of the defendants were discharged, while two were acquitted.
He added that the trial of the remaining 112 suspects has been adjourned to June 15 to 18, 2026.
According to him, the convicted persons were sentenced to jail terms ranging from 20 years to life imprisonment, depending on the gravity of their offences.
He said they were found guilty of participating in terrorist activities, particularly in northern Nigeria, where over 2,000 people were reportedly killed and several properties destroyed.
Fagbemi further disclosed that some of the convicts were also found guilty of providing support for terrorism, including logistics, funding, and supplying food to members of the proscribed Boko Haram group.
He expressed confidence that the outcome of the trial would send a strong message that terrorism and related offences will not be tolerated in the country.
The Attorney-General commended the 10 Federal High Court judges who handled the cases, noting that they worked during the Easter period to ensure the speedy dispensation of justice.
He also noted that the proceedings were observed by organisations including Amnesty International, the Nigerian Bar Association, and the National Human Rights Commission to ensure transparency and due process.
Fagbemi appreciated the media for its coverage of the trial.
