Aisha Wakil, known as "Mama Boko Haram," has been sentenced to five years in prison by the Borno State High Court in Maiduguri. The conviction, delivered by Justice Aisha Kumaliya, also includes two co-defendants: Tahiru Saidu Daura, Programme Manager, and Prince Lawal Shoyode, Country Director.
The trio, who were involved with the Complete Care and Aid Foundation, were convicted on charges of conspiracy, cheating, and providing false information. The charges stemmed from an incident in which they deceived Alhaji Bukar Kachalla of Abks Ventures Limited into delivering a Toyota Camry 2012 model worth ₦6 million, under the false pretense of a contract.
The prosecution, led by Mukhtar Ahmed and Shamsudeeb Saka, presented documentary evidence and testimony from three witnesses. Despite pleading not guilty, the court found the defendants guilty and sentenced them to five years imprisonment without the option of a fine. Additionally, they were ordered to refund ₦3.5 million to the petitioner, with an additional five years imprisonment if they fail to comply.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) announced the sentencing on December 10, confirming that the convicts had dishonestly obtained the vehicle without fulfilling the contract.
