The Department of State Services (DSS) has secured a death sentence against Ibrahim Usman, also known as Dan Iyali, over his involvement in the kidnapping and killing of three persons in Sokoto State in September 2023.
Usman was sentenced by the High Court of Justice of Sokoto State, sitting in the Sokoto Judicial Division, after facing a four-count charge alongside other suspects who are still at large.
The charges included criminal conspiracy, kidnapping, culpable homicide punishable with death, and voluntarily causing grievous hurt without provocation.
The case followed investigations into the abduction and killing of the three victims in Sokoto State in September 2023.
The DSS said the conviction was secured through its prosecution of Usman before the state High Court.
The death sentence adds to recent convictions obtained by the intelligence agency in cases involving serious criminal offences.
