  "summary": "Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri has warned that Boko Haram and ISWAP continue to be major security threats, calling on security chiefs to increase their efforts.\n\nIn a separate legal development, Justice Salim Ibrahim of the Federal High Court in Abuja sentenced Abba Mustapha and 41-year-old Bukar Ibrahim to life imprisonment and an additional 20 years each. The men, both from Borno State, were arrested by the Department of State Services and pleaded guilty to charges involving providing logistical support to Boko Haram and concealing information.\n\nThe sentencing took place during a mass trial of suspected terrorists conducted by the Federal Government. According to the Daily Post Nigeria, Justice Ibrahim heard cases for at least 34 defendants, while Justice Peter Lifu handled 25 defendants. Other judges involved in the ongoing trials include Justices James Omotosho, Binta Nyako, Emeka Nwite, Obiora Egwuatu, Hauwa Yilwa, and Joyce Abdulmalik.",
