NCTC Flags off Phase 7 Of Mass Trial Of Suspected Terrorists
The Federal Government of Nigeria has launched Phase 7 of the Kainji Mass Trials of terrorist suspects, reaffirming its commitment to combating terrorism and strengthening the nation’s criminal justice system.
National Coordinator of the National Counter Terrorism Centre, Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), Major General Adamu Garba LAKA, emphasized that the trials represent Nigeria’s pursuit of justice and resolve to confront terrorism through lawful and transparent means.
The event highlighted the convergence of key stakeholders, including the Judiciary, law enforcement, legal practitioners, and partners, who are united in purpose and duty.
The trials have yielded significant successes in strengthening Nigeria’s criminal justice capacity to handle terrorism-related offenses, with notable progress in prosecution addressing concerns raised by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), thereby contributing to Nigeria’s efforts toward exiting the FATF Grey List.
