The Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced a father of three, Sheu Buka, to 20 years imprisonment for selling goats to Boko Haram terrorists in Borno State.
Buka who was put on trial on a 5-count charge by the Federal Government, admitted in the open court and in his extra judicial statement that he committed the offense.
Following his denial of four other charges, the Federal Government withdrew the ones he denied and left him to count three alone.
Justice Binta Fatima Nyako on Tuesday after going through the confessional statement and admission of guilt in the open court as well as the investigation report, convicted the defendant and sentenced him to 20 years in prison.
The judge refused the plea for leniency made by the convict adding that the issue of terrorism has become worrisome in virtually all parts of the country.
According to the court, rendering support to terrorists is a serious offense that must not be condoned.
