| Ogwuche |
The alleged mastermind of the April 14 twin bomb explosions that killed
over 75 persons at a motor park in Nyanya Abuja, Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche,
has demanded the Nigerian Government pay him the sum of N100million as
damages for unlawful detention.
In a suit filed by his lawyer Mr. Ahmed Raji, SAN, he also demanded a published apology in two national dailies.
He also requested that the court should make an order releasing him on
bail and preventing the DSS from further arresting or detaining him, or
in the alternative charge him to court within 48 hours of the court
granting his orders.He argued that it was illegal for the DSS to still
retain the accused person in its custody without arranging him over the
commission of any act of criminality.
Ogwuche insisted that his continued detention in the custody of the
Department of State Security, DSS, amounted to a gross abuse of his
fundamental human rights
On November 24, the two-count charge brought against Ogwuche was struck out by a Federal High Court in Abuja
