The trial Judge, Justice Binta Nyako had in a judgement, sentenced Kelvin Oniarah Eziegbe, Frank Azuekor after convicting them of kidnapping and terrorism.

 

The Judge, however, discharged Micheal Omonigho, a priest of a shrine, who was arraigned along with the convicts.

 

According to the Judge, some of the 14-count charge for which the convicts were arraigned carry life imprisonment but she had to use her discretion to sentence them to  20 years imprisonment, which commenced from the death of their arrest.
