On Friday, Nov. 29, trial judge James Omotosho ruled that the police failed to establish a prima facie case against the 50 defendants, including four women.

The trial judge upheld the no-case submission of the defendants.

 

 

Omotosho said the prosecution team failed to provide any credible evidence linking the defendants with the allegations.

 

 

The judge struck out the three-count charge filed against the defendants.

The inspector-general of police had sued the 50 defendants in a charge marked: FHC/ABJ/CR/8/2024. The police alleged that the defendants had a meeting in a truck in connection with an act of terrorism.
