A Federal High Court in Katsina State has sentenced a woman, Hauwa’u Mukhtar, to death by hanging after finding her guilty of terrorism-related offences.
Mukhtar was convicted on two charges: conspiracy to commit terrorism and aiding and supporting terrorist activities.
She was arrested by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) on September 16, 2023, at Jibia Motor Park in Katsina State, where she was accused of attempting to deliver ammunition to a suspected bandit leader.
The DSS later brought her before the court for prosecution.
Delivering judgment, Justice A.B. Bawale ruled that the prosecution had proven its case beyond reasonable doubt through evidence, exhibits, and witness testimonies.
The court found Mukhtar guilty on both charges and sentenced her to death by hanging under the provisions of the Katsina State Penal Code Law, 2021.
The ruling comes two weeks after another Federal High Court in Abuja sentenced four men to death by hanging for their alleged involvement in the 2022 attack on St. Francis Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State, which resulted in the deaths of more than 40 people.
