ABUJA — An Abuja Chief Magistrate Court, yesterday, sentenced the self confessed spokesman of the Boko Haram Islamic sect, Ali Sanda Umar Konduga (a.ka Al-Zawahiri) to three years imprisonment without option of fine.
Konduga was convicted by the trial court on a two-count criminal charge bothering on criminal breach of public trust and intimidation through anonymous communication, after he had pleaded guilty to all the allegations levelled at him by the State Security Service, SSS.
Though Kondunga admitted guilt before the court on November 22, however, presiding Magistrate Oyebiola Oyewumi on that day deferred his sentencing, saying it will be handed to him when the culpability or otherwise of the first accused person, Ndume, who blatantly denied the allegation against him, is determined.
