A Federal High Court in Abuja sentences 37-year-old Zakaria Garba to death by hanging for his role in the 2014 Nyanya Motor Park bombings. The court delivers the judgment as the case is prosecuted under federal terrorism-related charges linked to the Nyanya-Abuja attack. Multiple reports say the prosecution frames the verdict as part of broader efforts to stamp out terrorism and related violent activities in Nigeria. One outlet reports that the bombing results in the deaths of more than 70 people, while the court’s decision focuses on Garba’s involvement in the explosions at the Nyanya motor park area. Other details about the evidence presented, specific charges, or whether there is an appeal are not included in the provided summaries. The Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, is reported by one source as representing the federal government’s prosecution team and expressing a determination to combat terrorism. The sentencing therefore concludes the trial at the Federal High Court level with a capital punishment order.
