The Federal Government has concluded plans to resuscitate and reinvigorate the existing special terrorism prosecution courts in the country.

The government explained that this became necessary in order bring to book all those found guilty of terrorism acts so as to serve as deterrence to others.

The Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, made this disclosure in a goodwill message felicitating with Muslims faithful all over the world on the occasion of this year’s Eid al-fitr.

He said in addition to the prosecution of 400 suspected Boko Haram financiers, the government has taken more measures to counter the twin trouble of insurgency and insecurity in the country.

Malami, therefore, urges Muslims as they celebrate Eid-fitr to continue to be law-abiding, have sober reflection and exhibit the imbibed lessons learnt during the period of Ramadan fast.

The Minister salutes the commitment of clerics in enlightening their followers on various issues during the months urging them to maintain the tempo even beyond the period of Ramadan.
