The Attorney-General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, announced on Saturday that 653 suspects have been convicted in the ongoing 11th phase of mass terrorism trials in Nigeria. According to a report by Punch Newspapers, Fagbemi made the disclosure during a meeting with stakeholders in the justice sector. The convictions were recorded in various federal high courts across the country. This development comes as the federal government continues its efforts to curb terrorism and insecurity in the country. Despite these convictions, the terrorism threat remains a significant issue in Nigeria, with regular attacks and kidnappings in different parts of the country. The convictions are expected to serve as a deterrent to others involved in terrorist activities. This story matters to Nigerian readers as it provides a glimpse of the ongoing efforts by the government to address the scourge of terrorism in the country. It also serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by the justice system in dealing with terrorism cases.
