Kabiru Sokoto Claims He Is Innocent by Nobody: 8:47pm On Jul 08, 2013
Abuja – Kabiru Umar, a terrorist suspect, accused of masterminding the bombing of St. Theresa Catholic Church in Madalla, Niger State, on Dec. 25, 2011, opened his defence at the Federal High Court on Monday in Abuja.

Giving evidence, Umar, alias “Kabiru Sokoto’’, who assumed the status of a witness, said the police and the State Security Service (SSS) extracted statement from him.

“I am aware of the charges brought against me; but, My Lord, I was tortured and mistreated several times to confess.

“All through the period of the investigation, I could not confess to the offence because I did not commit any offence.

“One of the operatives of the SSS asked me whether I knew one Habib Bama and I said no.

“He said to me that Bama was the actual mastermind of the bombings in Madalla.

“I was afraid of being killed, that was why I ran away from the custody the first time; I am innocent,’’ he said.

However, the prosecution counsel, Mrs Chioma Nwiegbu, prayed the court to adjourn the matter to July 9 for cross examination of the witness.

Umar was arraigned on April 19 in connection with the Christmas Day bombing.

He is alleged to have had information about the bombing but failed to inform law enforcement agents.

The suspect is also charged with being a member of a terrorist group, known as Boko Haram,between 2007 and 2012 at Mabira in Sokoto, Sokoto State.

He was also allegedly found to have facilitated the execution of a terrorist act within the period.

According to the charge, the suspect committed an offence contrary to Section 15(2) of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Act 2004.

The two-count charge attracts life sentence, but the accused has pleaded not guilty. (NAN)

He is not guilty until he is found guilty by the court. All I know is that he must be found guilty at last

It remains to be seen if there is a strong case against Kabiru.

Lets give him the benefit of the doubt. The young man said he was tortured and coerced to confess. This would be typical for anyone who is subjected to the same.

There was story a while ago of a young man confessing to a crime he didn't commit...why? Because the police tortured him and were about to place red water broiler on his di$ck; he confessed immediately. Who wouldn't?

He was not arrested by the police.
He was arrested by the SSS and they are far more competent than the police.

^^ it's 'peeping' plz

@OP, I dnt knw why I believe the guy, maybe he's saying d truth. I'd rather wait for him to get a fair hearing dan write wot folks above me are writing ie:

..Kill him
...He shd be beheaded

And most of y'all are supposed to be Christians...'Christ-like'. Y'all with such comments shd be ashamed of your selves, maybe y'all shd ask yourselves "What would Jesus have done?? Would he have typed what I just typed?"

I'm a christian BTW, n he deserves a fair trial, n am not saying this becos non of my family member nor frnd was in d blast.

Cheers

er....not like i'm supporting the guy or anything, but, as far as he has not been declared guilty by a competent law court, he is presumed innocent. Most of you commenting do't know even a tiny bit of the facts of the case and how much evidence the state has against him but you're all convinced of his guilt.

and what iff a court declares him innocent? what happens then?

lol@Innocent Idibia.anyway, I pray the court to give him a fair hearing
,cos he is still innocent until proven guilty. If truly he was among the perpetrators, he will surely pay for it.
