A federal judge who on Monday struck out terrorism
charges against Aminu Oguche, the suspected mastermind
of the Nyanya bomb attack in Abuja, said his decision was
based on lack of “diligent prosecution by the state”.
In a ruling Monday in Abuja, the judge cancelled a two-
count charge instituted by the federal government over the
April 2014 attack which killed more than 70 people.
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.
The Nigerian police had filed a two-count charge against
Mr. Ogwuche, but the case could not proceed due to
bickering between the police and the State Security
Service, SSS.
At the resumed hearing Monday, the prosecution counsel
was absent from court.
“This criminal charge is hereby struck out for want of
diligent prosecution by the complainant, Inspector General
of Police and his prosecutor,” the judge ruled.
The judge did not however order Mr. Ogwuche’s release,
an indication the state could file fresh charges against him.
But Mr. Ogwuche has already challenged his continued
detention, asking the court to compel the SSS to release
him or charge him anew.
On Monday, the judge also granted an oral application by
his lawyer, Ahmed Raji, to allow Mr. Ogwuche’s family
members visit him.
The judge ordered that two family members, and three
attorneys from Mr. Raji’s chamber, be allowed to see the
suspected bomber.
The application was not opposed by the counsels
representing the SSS, Clifford Osagie, and the Attorney
General of the Federation, Taiwo Abidogun.
The judge also ruled that Mr. Ogwuche be given medical
care while in custody, and if need be, be referred to the
National Hospital.
The application on his continued detention will be heard
December 5.
