A Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced a notorious Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) commander, Hussaini Ismaila, popularly known as Mai Tangaran, to 20 years in prison after he confessed to coordinating multiple deadly attacks across Kano State.
Justice Emeka Nwite, who delivered the judgment on Tuesday, said the sentence would run concurrently and would be calculated from August 31, 2017, the day Ismaila was arrested by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS).
