Kebbi State Police Command says it has secured the conviction of 19 people for terrorism, illegal firearms possession, and vandalism of national infrastructure. The police say the cases also involve charges related to vandalism and weapons offences.

Police spokespeople describe the outcome as the result of a prolonged prosecution effort, with one outlet stating the investigation and prosecution lasted 17 months before the convictions were obtained. Both reports attribute the announcement to the Kebbi police command and provide similar lists of the alleged offences, while giving limited additional details about the court proceedings or the identities of those convicted.
