Trial Justice Gladys Olotu of the Abuja
Division of the Federal High Court, Friday, ordered four alleged Boko Haram
members that bombed the United Nations headquarters in Abuja on August 20, 2011
to within 21 days, enter their defence against the charge and also gave the
government the nod to close its case.
The
suspects, Salisu Mohammed, Inusa Mukailu, Danzumi Haruna and Abdulsalami Adamu,
were said to have perfected the terrorist act which killed 23 persons and
wounded 75 others.
Among
those affected by the explosion included members of staff of the UN, visitors
and workers of private businesses stationed within the building.The
accused persons, who are answering to a four-count terrorism charge, were
arrested in September 2012 and charged before an Abuja Magistrate court. They
were subsequently re-arraigned before the High Court on May 7, this year.More details soon
