BREAKING: Court frees Alleged Nyanya bomber by ORAFA(m): 4:08pm On Nov 24, 2014
A federal court in Abuja has freed Aminu
Oguche, the suspected mastermind of the
Nyanya bomb attack in Abuja, the News
Agency of Nigeria has reported.
The court struck out a two-count
terrorism charge against Mr. Ogwuche on
Monday, after months of trial for the
April 2014 attack which killed more than
70 people.
The court hinged its decision on lack of
diligent prosecution by the state.
Mr. Ogwuche, a suspected Boko Haram
member, was accused by the Nigerian
government of being behind the attack.
The blast at the Nyanya Motor Park
occurred during morning peak hours as
residents were hurrying to work.
The government said Mr. Ogwuche fled to
Sudan after coordinating the attack.
He was later repatriated to Nigeria to face
charges.
Details of Monday’s ruling are sketchy
and will be brought in our subsequent
updates.

I guess, the plan is to get it struck out and refile with more detailed charges after concluding the investigations.

i doubt if that is d reason. This is Nigeria where interst and money answereth all things. A prosecutor who might have been compromised with money will undeligently prosecute a case in court to pave way for acused freedom. What else does this prosecutor want after Oguche had confesed and equally said he would do same if opportunity avail itself. The judge equally did wrong by strucking out d charges even in face of Oguche's statements. I thing some people are interested in letting Oguche off d hook. Nigerians should now see which arm is encouraging Gboko Haram and which is not among d three tier of govt.
