Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Three members of a gang who operated under the \u201cBoko Haram\u201d appellation have been jailed in South Africa.<\/p>\n

The charges included murder, attempted murder, possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition, and housebreaking with the intention to rob.<\/p>\n

Other counts bordered on theft, robberies and malicious damage to property, The Citizen reported.<\/p>\n

The trio were also convicted for contravening immigration laws for being in South Africa illegally.<\/p>\n

The gang was among criminals who named themselves \u201cBoko Haram\u201d and terrorized communities in the Polokwane municipality.<\/p>\n

They attacked teachers at their residential house in Westenburg and stole laptops, television sets and phones on October 9, 2017<\/p>\n
