FG Has No Case Against Us - Suleja Bombers

Six suspected Boko Haram members accused of carrying out multiple bombings and killings in parts of the Federal Capital Territory and Suleja, Niger State in 2011, on Wednesday told a Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday that the Federal Government had no case against them.

The six suspects — Shuaibu Abubakar, Salisu Ahmed, Umar Babagana-Umar, Mohammed Ali, Musa Adam and Umar Ibrahim — are facing a five counts bordering on sundry acts of terrorism.

The State Security Service maintained that its investigations revealed that the accused persons participated in various terror attacks between March and July, 2011.

However, at the continuation of the trial on Wednesday, counsel for the suspected Boko Haram members, Nuraini Suleiman and Kevin Emeka Okoro, while adopting their written addresses in an application for a ‘no-case submission,’ argued that the “prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case against the accused persons.”
