 So Linus Williams (Blord) has been released from Kuje prison after fulfilling his bail conditions, finally, freedom after a few weeks in custody. However, here’s the current position of his case:  He is still expected to show up and stand his trial.  If he fails to appear in court even for one day, his bail can be revoked and a bench warrant may be issued against him, meaning a return to Kuje. If the prosecution cannot prove the charges against him, he will be discharged and acquitted. If the prosecution proves the charges, he may be sentenced and sent back to Kuje. I think he should seek a peaceful resolution to the case. Congrats to him on his freedom for now.

 Magistrate Court Sentences Three People In Jalingo To 10 Years In Prison For Arms Trafficking


The Chief Magistrate Court Grade 1 sitting in Jalingo, capital of Taraba State, has convicted three persons arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS), for arms trafficking. They were sentenced to 10 years in prison without the option of fine.


The convicts, Sakina Garba, Ali Gono, and Ibrahim Abdulrashid, were arrested between January and February 2026. 


The sentencing came just as a woman, Halima Haliru Umar, who also was arrested by DSS operatives, before a Federal High Court in Abuja, pleaded guilty to the illegal possession of 302 rounds of live ammunition. 


The arrest of the convicts in Taraba State came on the heels of intelligence which blew the lid off their plans to transport arms and ammunition from Bantaje village in Wukari LGA, Taraba State, for delivery to a certain bandit kingpin.


Security sources revealed that the suspects were intercepted along Wukari-Jalingo road with the exhibits concealed in two sacks of food items.


"The suspects were caught with two sacks of food items in which they hid  one AK-47 rifle, 984 rounds of 7.6mm ammunition and 105 rounds of 7.82mm ammunition. Also found in their sacks were 14 AK-47 rifle magazines, three POS machines and N200,200 cash" added the source.


At the Federal High Court in Abuja, after DSS operatives tendered the 302 pieces of live ammunition recovered from the suspected arms courier, Halima Umaru, she pleaded guilty to the charge. 


Thereafter, the trial judge, Justice Haywa Joseph Yilwatda adjourned the matter till May 8, 2025, for sentencing.

Earlier, the DSS' witness had narrated how the suspect was arrested in Plateau State while in possession of 302 live rounds of ammunition which she was to courier to a certain notorious bandit leader. He tendered the ammunition, the investigation report, the defendant's statements, and money recovered from her.
