Judge hands down 20-year prison term to accomplice of infamous outlaw
The Federal High Court in Abuja 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.
nJustice Emeka Nwite, in a judgment, convicted Sani, who was arrested and prosecuted by the Department of State Services (DSS), for concealing information that could have led to the arrest of Danranmi.
nThe judge committed him to a 20-year jail term in each of counts one and two, without an option of a fine.
nJustice Nwite ordered that the sentences must run concurrently, beginning from Jan. 11, 2023, the date of his arrest.

nThe 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.
