Abuja court sentences Lebanese to life imprisonment for terrorism

A Federal High Court in Abuja today sentenced Talal Ahmad Roda (pictured above), one of the three Lebanese men arrested in May 2013 in connection with illegal possessions of weapon, to life imprisonment. Mr Roda was arrested after a large cache of arms was found in a bunker during a raid on his residence. He was found guilty of all 5 counts of illegal possession of weapons and conspiracy.

Two other men, Mustapha Fawaz, the owner Amigo Supermarket in Abuja and Abdallah Tahini, who were also charged with possession of illegal weapons, were set free by the court. See photos from the trial after the cut...

That serves him right, let others know that Nigeria is not a country u can come in an do any how. That is what they will do to us if they catch a Nigerian in such act

Why re the other two men freed pls?

Mich said...

Great news!
Long as he is not released behind the scenes through some diplomatic meetings with the Lebanese Embassy.
Meanwhile,that Fawaz dude will not go unpunished...though freed by the court,he's definitely gonna get what is coming to him cos not only did he have a hand in the arsenal of weapons found,he also treats Nigerians like thrash in their own country.
As for his bloody Amigo supermarket,where are arsons when you need them?

Go move Nigerians..He should face the law..if it were to be a 9ja man in their country,deporting straight up...

Anonymous said...

I can't understand the smile or smirk on his face though. Is it just bold face, or is he thinking that, as far as Nigerian justice and security system is concerned, this is a big joke and he will bribe his way out sooner than later. I think the justice system should pay particular attention to this one to ensure it isn't ridiculed.m

Fellow Biafrans this time we all speak with one voice regarding what we want.
We want our independent sovereign nation.
we want Biafra
this is our natural right
this is our social political right

we are going to actualise Biafra by using the self determination principles of the un resolution a/61/295 of september 2007 on self determination of Ethnic Nation

We do not want nigeria or one Nigeria, we do not want federation with Nigeria, we do not want confederation with Nigeria, we do not want autonomy in with nigeria. we do not want or need resource control with /in Nigeria.

we do not want creation of more states in/of Nigeria we do not want the presidency of Nigeria.

the only thing we want is Biafra, sovereign Nation state. Biafra
who are we ? we are Biafrans

we are a hard working and achieving people who understand the value of an Environment of equity, justice, security and stability for Success.
We are the practitioners of government by the popular mandate of the free people free to choose
We are not Nigeria we are not lazy parasites

we are not colonisers
we are not usurpers
we are not feudalists
We are not culture of killers and society of murderers and genocidists.
we are Biafrans
we are Entrepreneuring people
We are the people of Biafra
What do we get ?
we will have our sovereign and independent state of Biafra using self determination principles


Fellow Biafrans thats our one voice .
thats our one focus
thats our path
Self determination process leading to sovereign independent Biafra

We continue to insist that the rest of our Biafra people who are still being held by nigeria must be released forthwith from Nigerias dungeons

Biafra Alive because its God who makes it so, Chukwu Ahbiama.
