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. |
