Boko Haram: Absence Of Evidence Stalls Kabiru Sokoto’s Trial

The trial of Kabiru Umar popularly known as Kabiru Sokoto over alleged acts of terrorism has been stalled following the inability of the prosecution counsel, Chioma Onuegbu to attach a proof of evidence to the amended charges filed against the accused person.

Justice Adeniyi Ademola while adjourning the case to 19 April for trial ordered the department of state service to allow the suspect free access to a lawyer as he was not represented in court.

The court also ordered the prosecutor to serve the accused person with a summary of the case, the list of witnesses and any other evidence they have against him before 12 April to enable him prepare his defence.

Kabiru Sokoto is standing trial for allegedly planting and encouraging his boys to bomb the police headquarters in Sokoto state between 2007 and 2012.

He is also accused of concealing information about the bombing of Saint Theresa’s Catholic Church in Madalla, Niger state on the 25th December, 2011 in addition to illegally training about 500 men and inciting them to commit a terrorist act.

Gboliwe: Its a shame this man will walk free in the very near future. That is the pitiable state the judiciary has degenerated to. The system is so corrupt and his sponsors are the guys in power.
Such a shame.

Tolexander: I think the best way to handle this case is to transfer it to UK where James Onanefe Ibori was convicted or South Africa where Henry Okah was convicted. Cos i see no reason why the prosecution of a criminal that had committed a crime and arrested was delayed till now after many months of committing the crimes.

alexchiny: Please expatiate on that, since you know something we dont!

Our Yansh:

Mr. Man are you too lazy to do some research on the circumstances surrounding the arrest of Kabiru??

Is‎​ the Lady meant to breastfeed you intellectually??

Okija_juju: If there is no evidence, they should just give one Mopol 500 naira to shoot him and call it accidental discharge.

Or

Pay a prisons services guy to shoot him and call it attempted escape.

And if any of his killers goto Jail, President Jonathan can just pardon him later on.

Profidada: Whether there is evidence or not i hope he is going through a severe and sustained torture? That is my area of interest.
