Judgment Day For 2010 Independence Day Bomber

Judgment Day For  2010 Independence Day Bomber

The Federal High Court in Abuja will today deliver final judgment charged against Edmund Ebuware.

Ebuware is standing trial in connection with the Oct. 1, 2010 bombing in Abuja.

Justice Gabriel Kolawole, who presided over the case, gave the date after counsel to the parties adopted their final written addresses.

While adopting his address, Mr Goddy Uche, counsel to the accused person, said that the extra-judicial statement obtained from his client should be discountenanced.

Uche submitted that there was no admission by the accused person to indicate that he committed the offence.

The court had on May 3, removed Ebuware from the list of suspects charged with the Independence Day bombing.

Kolawole granted the order following a motion filed by the accused person for an independent trial.

Others charged with the bombing were Charles Okah and Obi Nwabueze.

The fourth accused, Tiemkemfa Osuvwo, died in Kuje prison on March 2.

Ebuware had told the court that his inclusion among the principal accused persons would be a distraction to his defence.

The accused person was charged for hiding information on the motive of the other accused persons.

The Criminal Code prescribed death sentence as penalty for the offence.
