2014 Nyanya Bombing: Federal Government has Open Case For Surspect

The Federal Government of Nigeria has arraigned six suspects in connection with the 2014 Nyanya bombing, which killed over 75 people and injured many others. The suspects were brought before a Federal High Court in Abuja, where they pleaded not guilty to an eight-count terrorism charge.



The court ordered that the suspects be held in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) pending the determination of the case. The prosecution alleged that the suspects conspired to commit an act of terrorism by driving a Volkswagen Golf car laden with Improvised Explosives Devices (IEDs) to the motor park, where it was detonated.

The case has been ongoing for several years, with the suspects being held in detention since their arrest. The prosecution has been gathering evidence and building its case against the suspects, who are accused of playing key roles in the bombing.

During the recent court hearing, the prosecution presented its case against the suspects, highlighting the evidence it intends to rely on to prove their guilt. The defense team, on the other hand, argued that the suspects were innocent and had been wrongly accused.

The court has adjourned the case to a later date to allow the prosecution to continue its presentation of evidence. The suspects' lawyers have indicated that they will vigorously defend their clients and challenge the prosecution's evidence.

The Nyanya bombing occurred on April 14, 2014, when a car bomb exploded at the Nyanya bus station in Abuja, Nigeria's capital city. The bombing killed over 75 people and injured many others, sparking widespread outrage and condemnation. The attack was attributed to the Boko Haram terrorist group, which has been responsible for numerous bombings and attacks in Nigeria.

The case has been ongoing since 2014, with the Federal Government working to bring the perpetrators to justice. The arraignment of the suspects marks a significant step in the pursuit of justice for the victims of the bombing and their families.
