The United States has praised the Nigerian government for its renewed commitment to expediting terrorism-related trials, following the conviction of 386 militants.
Massad Boulus, Senior Advisor to President Trump for Arab and African Affairs, described the development as “a significant step towards accountability and justice.”
He noted that the convictions, which came after years of delays in the courts, demonstrate Nigeria’s determination to confront extremism through the legal system.
“The United States commends the Nigerian government for its strong commitment to expediting the trials,” Boulus said. “Timely and transparent legal processes are critical in confronting extremism and reinforcing public trust in judicial institutions.”
Boulus further emphasised that upholding the rule of law is essential for Nigeria’s safety, stability, and long-term security. He added that the US supports continued efforts to strengthen judicial efficiency and fairness across the country.
