The Abuja Court has sentenced four Boko Haram terrorists to life imprisonment, though there is a strict law in Nigeria that prescribes death penalty for those whose actions cause fatalities.
The court found the four guilty of partcipating in the Suleja and Nasarawa bombings which killed 19 people. The prosecutors brought conspiracy and assault charges against the suspects.
It would be recalled that the sentenced men were found guilty of masterminding and executing April 8, 2012, bombing on an electoral commission office that killed 16, and a July 10 bombing of a church that killed three persons.
