FG begins phase 7 mass trials of terrorists.
The Federal Government has launched Phase 7 of the Kainji Mass Trials of terrorist suspects, marking a significant step in the country's efforts to combat terrorism and violent extremism.
The National Coordinator of the National Counter Terrorism Centre, Major General Adamu Laka, who said the trials, which represent Nigeria's commitment to justice and the rule of law in addressing terrorism, have shown notable progress, contributing to Nigeria's efforts to exit the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Grey List, highlighted the importance of collaboration between the judiciary, law enforcement agencies, legal practitioners, and international partners in achieving justice and security.
He also appreciated the Federal Government, the Office of the Attorney General, and the Justices of the Federal High Court for their professionalism and dedication to justice.
On his part, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), reiterated the government's determination to ensure justice is served for both victims and accused persons, respecting the rule of law and human rights, as the trials aim to strengthen Nigeria's criminal justice system and address terrorism-related offenses effectively.
