The
accused brain behind the Christmas day bomb blast that killed about 44 persons
and wounded 75 others at St. Theresa’s Catholic Church, Madalla, Niger State,
in 2011, Kabiru Umar, a.k.a Kabiru Sokoto, yesterday, filed a N300 million law suit
against the Federal Government.
Kabiru Sokoto, who is presently answering
to a two-count terrorism charge, urged the court to award the suit to him as
exemplary and general damages against the Federal Government over alleged
torture and beatings he suffered in the hands of operatives of the Department
of State Services, DSS from the day of his arrest and during investigations.
It was the contention of the alleged
Boko Haram kingpin that the government failed to establish a prima-facie
terrorism charge capable of warranting his conviction.
Vanguard.
