The alleged
mastermind of the April 14 twin bomb explosions that killed over 75
persons and wounded 100 others at a crowded motor park in Nyanya Abuja,
Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche, has demanded the Federal 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
