The Federal High Court in Abuja has handed down death sentences by hanging to four individuals affiliated with the Al-Shabaab terrorist group. These sentences are a result of their involvement in the violent attack on St. Francis Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State, which occurred on June 5, 2022. The assault resulted in the deaths of over 40 worshippers and injuries to more than 100 others. The court's decision underscores the severity of the crime and the judicial system's stance against terrorism.
