Two Nigerian nationals have been sentenced to seven years in prison after being convicted over an armed r%bbery at a currency exchange shop in Kuwait.
The suspects were arrested by the Kuwait General Department of Criminal Investigation in Ahmadi Governorate following investigations into the r%bbery and theft at a money exchange shop in Mahboula in January 2025.
On Monday, July 20, 2026, the Kuwait Court of Appeal upheld the prison sentences, affirming an earlier judgment that found the defendants guilty in connection with the r%bbery.
The Second Circuit of the Court of Appeal, headed by Counselor Nasr Salem Al-Haid alongside Counselors Mutaib Al-Aradhi and Saud Al-Sane, upheld the ruling against members of the Nigerian gang linked to the crime.
