A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has sentenced a Boko Haram member, Alkali Yarima, also known as La'ari, to death by hanging for his role in the 2015

Justice James Omotosho, in a judgment, also sentenced Yarima to life imprisonment on count six of the charge, bordering on receiving training on arms and weapon handling in preparation to commit acts of terrorism.

One of the charges accused the convict of engaging in conduct preparatory to committing terrorist acts when he travelled to an Arab country for training on arms and weapon handling.
