A Federal High Court in Abuja sentences 37-year-old Zakaria Garba to death by hanging for his alleged role in the 2014 Nyanya Motor Park bomb explosions. Multiple outlets report that the judgment is delivered by Justice James Omotosho, following a prosecution-led case connected to the attack. The sources describe the incident as a deadly bombing at Nyanya-A buja in 2014, carried out at or around the Motor Park. Reporting across the outlets says the attack results in multiple deaths and injuries, with one account estimating fatalities at over 70. The prosecution, led by government legal representatives, says the case reflects an effort to stamp out terrorism and related activities. One outlet notes the involvement of the Attorney-General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, as part of the prosecution team. While all sources focus on the conviction and sentence, they do not provide consistent additional details about the evidence or the broader circumstances beyond Garba’s alleged involvement. The court’s decision concludes the matter as reported by these outlets.
