 FG ARRAIGNS 400 TERRORISM SUSPECTS


The Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Olasunkanmi Fagbemi (SAN), has arraigned for prosecution over 400 terrorism suspects. 


Judiciary Correspondent Austin Anyebe reports that the trials are taking place in different courts at the Federal High Court complex in Abuja.


 A team led by the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Lateef Fagbemi SAN supported by the Director of Public Prosecution of the Federation, Rotimi Oyedepo (SAN), is prosecuting the suspects.


Similar mass trial took place in April 2026.

In that trial out of 508 defendants, the AGF's office secured 386 convictions, with 8 discharges and 2 acquittals. 

Many of the convicts received prison sentences of up to 20 years.


 The defendants are facing charges linked to terrorism, aiding and abetting insurgent activities, and financing.


The Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice John Tsoho has assembled a special panel of judges to preside over the cases.


The AGF represents the Federal Government while Defense for indigent suspects is being provided by the Legal Aid Council of Nigeria.


These mass trials mark a push by the government to expedite delayed terrorism cases, with proceedings now taking place in Abuja rather than the military facility in Kainji, Niger State.
