US hails Nigeria over conviction of 386 terror suspects in mass trial

The United States has praised the Nigerian government for speeding up the trial of terrorism suspects and securing convictions.

A U.S. senior advisor on Arab and African affairs, Massad Boulos, said on Sunday that the convictions show progress in ensuring justice and accountability in terrorism-related cases.

He said the U.S. welcomes the conviction of 386 Islamist militants who were part of long-delayed court cases.

According to him, this is an important step toward fighting extremism and improving justice delivery in Nigeria.

The U.S. official also stressed that fair and fast court processes are important for building public trust and improving national security.

He added that the rule of law is key to ensuring safety and stability in the country, and encouraged Nigeria to continue improving its justice system.

This statement comes after Nigeria’s Attorney General, Lateef Fagbemi, announced that 386 terrorism suspects were convicted in a four-day mass trial held in Abuja.

He explained that the convicted persons were part of 508 suspects prosecuted by the government, meaning about two-thirds were found guilty.

The trials were part of efforts to clear a backlog of terrorism cases and speed up justice in national security matters.
