Justice Buba, who jailed the accused persons, delivered the judgement in camera as he asked journalists, litigants and lawyers in other matters to vacate the courtroom
Justice Ibrahim Buba of a Federal High Court in Lagos on Tuesday sentenced three members of the Boko Haram sect to a cumulative jail term of 75 years for their involvement in terrorism.
Justice Buba, who jailed the accused persons, delivered the judgement in camera as he asked journalists, litigants and lawyers in other matters to vacate the courtroom.
Even though the judge delivered the judgement in camera, one of the parties in the matter informed New Telegraph that the three accused persons were convicted on all the charges and sentenced them to 25 years imprisonment each.
The convicts were Ali Mohammed (1st accused), Adamu Karumi (2nd accused) and Ibrahim Usman (3rd accused).
Another member of the sect, Bala Haruna (4th accused), who was accused of providing money to fund the escape of the first accused person, was however discharged and acquitted by the trial judge for want of diligent prosecution.
Initially, 17 members of the sect were dragged before the court over alleged terrorism and membership of Boko Haram by the Lagos State Government on an eight-count charge of conspiracy to commit terrorism, illegal possession of firearms and being members of the proscribed terror group.
Though all the 17 pleaded not guilty on arraignment, four were brought to court on Tuesday for the court's judgement.
