Kabiru Sokoto appeals conviction over 2011 Madalla church bombing case

Kabiru Umar, popularly known as Kabiru Sokoto, has appealed his conviction for terrorism-related offenses linked to the 2011 bombing of St. Theresa’s Catholic Church in Madalla. His lawyer stated that the appeal raises questions about the evidence used to secure the conviction and how the trial court handled the defense. The lawyers emphasize that the charges do not accuse him of direct involvement in the bombing but rather of failing to disclose information to law enforcement.
