| 2013-03-21 |
| [DAILYTIMES.NG] The trial of Kabiru Abubakar better known as "Kabiru Sokoto", one of the Boko Haram sect members believed to be behind the Christmas Day bombing of St. Theresa's Catholic Church Madalla, a suburb of the Federal Capital territory was on Wednesday stalled due to the absence of a Defence Lawyer. Kabiru, a top Boko Haram operative was brought to court for formal arraignment on Wednesday by the State Security Service (SSS). However, the absence of the judge at the Federal High Court Abuja stalled the arraignment. Mr. Sokoto is expected back in court on April 19 2013. Kabiru Sokoto, a Boko Haram leader, was re-arrested by security officials after initially escaping from the hands of the police. The accused is expected to take his plea before the court on April 19. |
