The Federal Government of Nigeria has commenced the Phase 7 of the Kainji Mass Trials of terrorist suspects.
This was announced on Wednesday in Abuja through a statement by the National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC), which operates under the Office of the National Security Adviser
The National Coordinator of NCTC, Maj.-Gen. Adamu Laka, said the trials represent Nigeria’s unwavering pursuit of justice and a reaffirmation of its resolve to confront terrorism through lawful and transparent means.
He said it was encouraging to see the convergence of the Judiciary, law enforcement, legal practitioners, and partners, once again united in purpose and duty
According to him, these trials are a cornerstone of the national commitment to upholding the rule of law while addressing terrorism and violent extremism.
Laka emphasized that these trials are a key part of Nigeria’s broader efforts to uphold the rule of law while dealing with terrorism.
He also highlighted the country’s progress in strengthening its criminal justice system to effectively prosecute terrorism-related cases.
This progress, he noted, has helped address concerns raised by the Financial Action Tas
