By Nkechi Eze

In a significant step toward reinforcing the nation’s counterterrorism framework, the Federal Government has formally launched Phase 7 of the Kainji Mass Trials of terrorist suspects. The flag-off ceremony, held on Wednesday, underscores Nigeria’s ongoing commitment to combating terrorism, promoting justice, and strengthening its criminal justice system in accordance with international standards.

Speaking at the event, the National Coordinator of the National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC), Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), Major General Adamu Garba Laka, described the trials as a reaffirmation of the country’s resolve to confront terrorism through lawful and transparent means.

“It is truly encouraging to see the convergence of the Judiciary, law enforcement, legal practitioners, and partners, once again united in purpose and duty,” General Laka stated. “These trials are a cornerstone of our national commitment to upholding the rule of law while addressing terrorism and violent extremism.”

He noted that Nigeria has recorded notable progress in building its capacity to prosecute terrorism-related offences. According to him, the outcomes of previous trial phases have helped address critical issues raised by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), contributing significantly to Nigeria’s efforts to exit the FATF Grey List.

“Indeed, the advancements made through these trials have greatly contributed to Nigeria’s efforts toward exiting the FATF Grey List,” he affirmed.

On behalf of the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, General Laka expressed gratitude to the Federal Government, the Office of the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, and the Justices of the Federal High Court for their continued professionalism and dedication. He also acknowledged the contributions of international partners, investigators, legal teams, and support staff for their role in facilitating the trials.

Representing the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), the Director of Public Prosecution of the Federation, Mohammed Babadoko Abubakar, commended the sustained collaboration between the ONSA and both domestic and international stakeholders.

He reiterated the Federal Government’s determination to ensure that justice is served both to the victims of terrorism and the accused, within a legal framework that safeguards human rights and adheres to the rule of law.

The Kainji Mass Trials have become a central platform for prosecuting terrorism suspects detained under lawful custody, offering a mechanism for judicial accountability while respecting Nigeria’s constitutional and international obligations.
