Nigeria convicts 45 in largest-ever Boko Haram mass trial
A Nigerian court has sentenced 45 suspected Boko Haram members to up to 31 years in prison, in the largest-ever mass trial involving the Islamist extremist group. The court released another 468 suspects, ordering that they must undergo de-radicalisation programs. Notably, Boko Haram's eight-year insurgency has killed at least 20,000 people in Nigeria.
