South Korean ex-president, Yoon Suk-yeol sentenced to life in prison
Former South Korean president, Yoon Suk Yeol, has been sentenced to life imprisonment after being found guilty of leading an insurrection during his declaration of martial law in December 2024.
The ruling, delivered by Seoul Central District Court Judge Jee Kui-youn, was lighter than the death penalty prosecutors sought at the trial’s final hearing in January. The ruling was aired live on South Korea’s major broadcasters.
Jee said in the verdict that Yoon led an insurrection and committed acts to subvert the country’s constitutional order.
The court added that Yoon “took the lead in planning the crime and involved a large number of people,” and that it was “difficult to see any sign of remorse from the defendant, who also refused to appear in court.”
Yoon had previously reportedly refused to appear in court for questioning last year.
The court also found Yoon had ordered South Korea’s military to capture individuals during the martial law declaration, including the current president Lee Jae Myung.
Yoon also had the intention to “paralyze” the country’s parliament by deploying troops to blockade the National Assembly and arrest key politicians, Jee said.
Five others were also sentenced, including former defense minister Kim Yong-hyun, who was sentenced to 30 years in prison.
The defendants may appeal the ruling within a week.
The sentence follows a separate ruling on Jan. 16, when Yoon was given a five-year prison term for attempting to obstruct his arrest after he was impeached and suspended from office.

Nigerian Police Spokesperson Reacts To Trending Video Of Officer At A Checkpoint Asking White Man In Transit For Money (Watch)
The spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force, ACP Benjamin Hundeyin, has responded to a viral video showing a police officer allegedly asking a German traveler, Clement, for money while he was in transit.
Clement who is heading to South Africa by road, passed through some checkpoints in Nigeria.
In a video recording, Clement showed how many of the police officers he came across greeted him warmly and asked him to continue his journey.
Some even offered him prayers when they came in contact with him. However, one of the officers who he encountered at one of the checkpoints spoilt the trail when he asked Clement to give him money.
‘’Give me dollars. We want to buy fuel’. You are to give us money. We are providing service, safety on the road.’ the officer asked
Clement immediately informed him that the government pays him salary and so he shouldn’t be asking him for money.

Reacting to the trending video, Hundeyin praised the other officers who were professional and did not ask for money and went on to point out that there will always be one judas who will misrepresent a group.
