A Nigerian court in Abuja has sentenced four men to death for their involvement in the 2022 attack on St Francis Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo state, which resulted in the deaths of 41 worshippers and injured over 100 during a Pentecost service. The convicted individuals, Idris Abdulmalik Omeiza, Al Qasim Idris, Jamiu Abdulmalik, and Abdulhaleem Idris, were also given 20-year prison sentences for membership in a terrorist group. The presiding judge, Emeka Nwite, stated that the evidence presented was conclusive, including witness testimonies and identification of two defendants as attackers. A fifth defendant was acquitted due to insufficient evidence. The sentences require presidential assent for execution, and no executions have occurred in Nigeria for several years.
