FG Gets Tough, Begins Trial Of Over 600 Terrorism Suspects

The Federal Government on Monday commenced another phase of mass trials for hundreds of suspected terrorists facing terrorism-related charges in Abuja.

This is as the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), declared that the administration would not treat terrorism with levity.

The prosecution is being led by Fagbemi, while the Director-General of the Legal Aid Council, Aliyu Abubakar, heads the defence team.

The trials, taking place simultaneously in several courtrooms, are expected to last one week.

Some of the judges handling the cases include Justices Binta Nyako, Emeka Nwite, Musa Liman, James Omotosho, Obiora Egwuatu and Ekerete Akpan.
