The Department of State Services (DSS) has secured a death sentence against Ibrahim Usman, popularly known as Dan Iyali, over the kidnapping and killing of three people in Sokoto State in September 2023.
Usman was convicted 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 remain at large.
The charges included criminal conspiracy, kidnapping, culpable homicide punishable by death, and voluntarily causing grievous hurt without provocation.
The DSS said the conviction followed its prosecution of Usman over his alleged role in the offences.
