‎The Federal High Court, Abuja Division, on Monday, sentenced Muhammad Sani, an associate of Danranmi—a notorious bandit who supplies arms and ammunition to kidnappers and bandits—to 20 years’ imprisonment.

‎Justice Emeka Nwite, in a judgement, convicted Sani, who was arrested and prosecuted by the State Security Service (SSS), for concealing information that could have led to Danranmi’s arrest.

‎The judge committed him to a 20-year jail term for each of counts one and two, without an option of a fine.

‎The judge ordered that the sentencing must run concurrently, beginning from January 11, 2023, the date of his arrest.

‎The SSS preferred a four-count charge bordering on terrorism-related offences against Sani.

‎The offence is contrary to Section 26(1) of the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act 2022 and punishable under Section 16(1)(b)of the same Act.
