Read Time:54 Second
Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court Abuja, has ordered the remand of four suspected terrorists linked to notorious bandit kingpin, Bello Turji, in Kuje Correctional Centre.
In a short ruling, Justice Nwite made the order after the defendants pleaded not guilty to the 11-count charge bordering on terrorism.
Justice Nwite consequently adjourned the matter until February 10 for trial.
The four suspects; Musa Kamarawa; Abubakar Hashimu, also called doctor; Samuel Chinedu and Lucky Chukwuma, denied their involvement in the offences with which they were charged when the 11 counts were read to them.
It was earlier reported that though eight defendants were listed in the charge, three of them, including Bello Turji were at large.
The Federal Government through the office of the Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, had filed the 11-count charge against the eight defendants, four of whom are at large.
The suspects were alleged to have provided material services to terrorists groups by procuring and supplying illicit drugs, including penta injections and cannabis plants, food items, military and police uniforms, camouflage.
