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.
