The Federal Government has resumed the trial of hardened Boko Haram terror suspects in the Kainji Prosecution Project Phase IV in Abuja.

The National Security Adviser (NSA), NUHU RIBADU, said the resumption of the trial was in line with Nigeria’s commitment to a rule of law and human rights-based approach to countering terrorism.

RIBADU said that his office had ensured the full participation of the Armed Forces of Nigeria and other law enforcement, security, and intelligence agencies towards the successful prosecution of all persons suspected of terrorism under the Terrorism Prevention Act.

He added that efforts have been made through training and capacity building of investigators and prosecutors towards an evidence-based trial and witness protection.

He called on all stakeholders to commit to the identified timeline for the completion of the trials, assuring them of the full support of President BOLA TINUBU to strengthen Nigeria’s counterterrorism strategies within a human rights framework.

Speaking at the opening of the court session in Abuja, the Attorney-General of the Federation, LATEEF FAGBEMI said prosecution is one of the end processes of criminal justice administration and the Federal Ministry of Justice will continue to commit to deploying resources towards the enhancement of its prosecutorial capacities.
