A Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday
struck out the terrorism charges instituted against Aminu Ogwuche, the
alleged mastermind of the April 14 blast, which killed over 75 persons
in Nyanya, a suburb of Abuja.
Justice Adeniyi Ademola struck out the
charges filed by the Inspector General of Police on the grounds of want
of diligent prosecution.
The case had suffered many adjournments
due to the failure of the police to produce the accused, who had been in
the custody of the Department of State Service since he was repatriated
from Sudan to Nigeria.
