The Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced Safiya Salihu and Halima Abdullahi, mother and sister of late terrorist kingpin Kachallah Ibrahim Battujo, to 40 years in prison for terrorism-related activities. The women pleaded guilty to Counts 2, 4, and 5 of the five-count charge brought by the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation.
They were convicted for aiding and abetting Battujo’s activities, passing information through telephone conversations, and concealing information about his terrorism-related activities and illegal firearms. Justice Hauwa Joseph Yilwa ordered the sentences to run concurrently.
Key Points:
The conviction sends a strong message that family members of terrorists will face justice.

The concurrent sentence means they will serve 20 years in prison with rehabilitation.
The court’s decision reinforces the government’s commitment to fighting terrorism at all levels.
The case highlights the importance of intelligence gathering and prosecution in counter-terrorism efforts.
The convicted women will now undergo rehabilitation. The ruling may deter others from aiding terrorist activities.
